Harsh as it is I think it's better for us that he has had his injury problems.

When he was fit because of his profile and wages we felt the need to play him and frankly he was mince.

A very good point.

I genuinely can't even remember him playing for us. I'm not even sure he exists.

All I remember of him is watching him argue with the fans at Wycombe.

Neither his, nor the club's, finest hour...

The club was such a fucking disaster back then. Just so much disharmony, complacency and bitterness sewn into the fabric.

I don't think he did himself a disservice there. I think he was captain at the time and he was just pointing out that booing wasn't helping.

And he's been a great servant to the club over the years.

The polar opposite as to how it is now.

Indeed. I believe a testimonial match would be quite in order for the legend that is Micah.

A statue would be most appropriate.

I don't think that renaming the ground - or indeed the club - in his honour would be inappropriate.

I'd buy a ticket in the 'Micah Richards is a ******' stand.

Fucking Hell, in the ocean of shit that was that season I forgot about that island of faecal discharge.

We won the replay, as I recall. One of only about five matches we won in all competitions.

Spoiler for Hiden:
Of course, we still beat Small Heath 😂

To be played February 29th? It's only fitting it be played on a day as rare to make an appearance as the man himself.

He's not even good enough to play in his own testimonial.

I take it you weren’t at Luton when Di Matteo moved him from full back to centre back.

He played under Di Matteo? Fucking Hell. That's more recent than I thought.
