Had an extremely useful yet rare ability to manoeuvre a shot on target from pretty much anywhere in the attacking third of the pitch. It was remarkable and I was in awe of his ability to do this - possibly the best I've seen do it in Claret & Amber in many, many a year.

Sadly, like many alluded to, most other parts of his game were below average. Not least his hunger to push himself harder.

 

Bizarrely good at shooting.

Massively average at everything else.

 

That's unfair. His touch was absolutely superb and he also had the skill to beat a man and create a yard.

For me, all he lacked was work rate and attitude otherwise he's have been an excellent footballer at our current level.

 

I will put my neck out there and say that if he had the work-rate and ambition, he could have been a Championship player.

 

I agree. He certainly had the technical ability.

 

Yep, bags of ability but very little desire.

 

My memory is pretty hazy to be fair. I don't remember anything about him other than belting long rangers lol

 

Don't think it will be confirmed and will forever be a rumour, but the belief amongst Chesterfield fans when he had a tonne of time away from the team for a private health issue was that after feeling unwell he had tests and found that he had an issue with his heart.

Could well have been an incredible lower league forward but clearly there is something with the bloke, who knows if it will ever come out into the open but hopefully the guy does what's best for his long term.

 

Only on the field .....

 

That half volley equaliser against bolton will be my abiding memory not just for the goal.

He had such a shot on him that I told the mrs our new striker was a 'thunder boots' and then named a new kitten after him, promptly before he left the club.

How's that for bizarre. Here's to you 'thunder boots' - his purr is worse than his bite.
