The problem for me with Mich, Mich, Mich d'Avray was that he couldn't reach the heights of Muhren and Thijssen. Very unfair, I know.

I know it was a few years ago, but he's aged incredibly well.
My memory is terrible at the best of times, but I'm convinced that Mich scored the first goal I ever saw 'live' at Portman Road, in a 1-0 win over Brighton, around 1983 or 1984, but I've looked up all the matches from those seasons and can't find when it actually was!
I've probably still got the programme somewhere, I'll have to dig it out one day.

He was a player who you always thought could and, perhaps, should do better. Alongside the occasional brilliance (he was very good in the air), he would often be in the defenders' pockets for large chunks of a game
