Really top bloke as well. Had a long chat with him this time last year ahead of the Wembley anniversary radio show. |  | | |

Met him once and he was happy to spend all the time in the world talking about his town days. You could feel how much he loved the environment of the club at the time. | |

Wasn't he just. About 21/22 when we signed him; good pedigree but with very little football under his belt. It was a bit of a punt, but someone knew their scouting onions with that signing. That's exactly the type of signing we should be hunting for. |  |

Quite ironic that hes a typical Paul Cook fullback. His delivery was incredible from deep inside the opponents half or even by the corner flag he just knew how to get that ball into the box.
Need to find another version of him. :) | |

Best of luck to Jamie - hope he enjoys Loughborough Uni as much as I did doing my degree there in the 70s. I suspect he won't go to the pub or the chippy quite as often as I did, though. |  |

His head always looked too big for his body. I used to wonder if it was a glued on replacement.
Back on earth, I thought he was a really good full back for us. He and tag boy Croft worked well with Venus and Mowbray. 195 appearances, 10 goals in 5 years. It was a shame he had to be flogged off for £1.3m after bankruptcy.
Never to be forgotten for having the bottle to take that penalty against Bolton. [Post edited 17 May 2021 16:59]

Underrated. Got unnecessary stick at the time. |  |

Excellent signing, for 300k we got the perfect wing-back. Great engine and peach of a left foot. Scored some fine goals. I'll always remember him getting ready to take a corner versus Crewe in the last minute of that terrible 1-2 defeat. It was towards the end of the 1998-99 season and he looked like a drowned rat in the rain. Made me laugh at the time even though our promotion chances were going up in smoke.
You mentioned Croft...never rated him at all, average at best. One of Burley's weakest signings around this period. Fabian Wilnis a far superior full-back. [Post edited 18 May 2021 15:49]

I thought Croft was a solid full back. But tbh I forgot about Wilnis, despite him playing for the club for about 9 years. Ironically I even sat close to him at the Arsenal away League Cup semi and said hello. Yes, he was a more important player for us. I thought of Croft because he was in the side at the end of the 2000 season.
The Crewe game was one of the most miserable of that period. We’d looked good for automatic promotion at Easter time and it all just fell away. We won two of the last six games but it was the Crewe result that really did us. A game we should have won. I was praying it’d be postponed, even when we were in the ground. We just never got going in the puddles. | | | |

Agree, the pitch was very heavy which wasn't great for us. Plus they scored an incredible volley to win it from their centre half. Also Jermaine Wright had been sent off so Crewe had ten men when they scored the winner.
Crewe's midfield that day was Mark Rivers, Danny Murphy, Seth Johnson and Jermaine Wright. No idea how they were bottom of the league at the time. | |

The sporting facilities when I was there in the early 80's were pretty impressive - went back a couple of years ago and the stuff they've got there now is incredible!

You can tell a lot about a player by who their best pals are. Jamie's were Matt Holland and Richard Naylor. |  | | |
