Born in 1980, so didn't see him play.  My Dad has always raved about him, particularly his runs from midfield.  In our history of distinguished midfielders, where would he rank?

Saw his debut against West Ham, thought "we paid all that money for that?".

Shot self in other foot just to be sure.

What drive. We were never the same in the odd game he missed.

Kinda the opposite of Petrov who started supernova against the Spammers but was never the gung-ho attacking midfielder we thought/hoped for.

 Fabulous player, in the top three midfielders we have ever had.  A joy to watch, spectacularly good at the box-to-box criterion.

Near the top most definately.

Mortimer, Bremner, Cowans, Morley(don't let's get petty).
A perfect storm.
