After shining with his dazzling breaks from the back as a roving central defender in his time at The Goldstone he stepped on to even greater heights, winning the very best club trophies available with the Titans that were Liver...

We once asked comedian and P*lace fan Kevin Day if there was any chance he’d come on our Albion podcast in the run up to the last derby match and he succinctly replied “none whatsoever!”.
