He's no Dion Dublin.

He doesn't play the saxophone or present Homes Under The Hammer, then?

Samba even played up front a few times for Blackburn. :|
Speaking of defenders playing up front, what's Paul Warhurst upto nowadays?
Surely worth a punt.

I used to work with a Blackburn fan and he hated Samba, said he was great in the air and would tackle things in front of him all day but had no mobility and got caught out far too easily by people running in behind him.  I can't imagine the injury problems he's had will have done anything to improve that.

Not to mention that he left them as a 27 year old. The 32 year old version probably needs wheeling around the pitch on a trolley.

True, he used to get really angry when anyone mentioned him because most people only saw him on motd and thought he was brilliant and that Blackburn were really lucky to have been able to keep him.  I heard that 2-3 times and the rant that followed was brilliant.

Carew used to bully him ridiculously, he used to wilt at the sight

mind you the best bullying Carew ever did is on Cahill when Bolton came to VP. That was a destruction.

Remember those halcyon days of carew  Barry  mellberg  milner  young   when we would tear teams new arseholes

Is Dubs really a TV presenter now? I was wondering what he did other than the occasional football talking head job

I remember a lean trim Gabby destroying him for pace in the 6-4 game and Samba getting sent off.

Forced one of the best saves I've ever seen out of Guzan in that crazy 3-2 win against QPR.

Fractionally less than a Hummer H2, and just as nimble. Still, worth a punt I suppose, Competition for Elphick and some height to boot.

Somebody tell me this is a wind-up. Please ? Pretty please ?
He must be twice the size of Richards and half as fast. You cannot be serious.

It was an incredible save especially from someone so ordinary.

As for Samba, he was shite 5 years ago, only god knows how bad he is now.

Are you sure this isn't " fake news " ?
I'd sooner have Steve Bruce playing next to Colin Calderwood, with Stephen Clemence in midfield.

Bruce must be really desperate. He's been crap for years. Not good enough for Panathinaikos so don't really know what he can offer us.
