Lombardo treated us well it has to be said.

Still it's hard to move beyond Cannon....he's the heartclub of how many feel about the club.

Least loyal....Well, Wright behaved really badly as an Arsenal player and because he'd been such a symbol of our success that really hurt.

Ian Wright is very confusing....sometimes he comes across as a likeable normal guy and then it's the usual race card stuff when this guy was treated like rare gold....he takes advantage of whatever he thinks he can.

And it's obvious that he's first and foremost an Arsenal man. Comes across as a bit bipolar.

Southgate and Coleman were a bit dismissive of us as clubs as well despite their hero status when they were with us.

Least loyal. Well Bruce peed off pretty quickly, as did Pulis (unforgiveably just before the new season). Allardyce likewise but I don't have a problem with that as he went immediately the season finished and therefore made no pretense of being in it for the long haul. Dowie simply lied to the club (but got his comeuppance as his managerial career disintegrated after leaving Palace). Dougie as a manager (I still wonder whether it was just the money?)

Most loyal. Obviously big Jim is up at the top of that list. Going back, Terry Long, David Payne , John Jackson.

Looking at things dispassionately you could include Wilf - he made his debut 10 years ago and is still with us which would normally automatically convey on him the status of loyal club servant, but of course, as we know, he did go off in search of gold for a season, and has for the past couple of years been looking for suitors, so a big question mark there. If that was your wife/husband and they'd done the same, loyalty wouldn't be the first word to trip off your tongue in describing their qualities. But then again this is football and loyalty as a currency has about as much value as a £500 monopoly note.

I'd love to ask Jimboyo over a pint if loyalty or circumstance saw him play all his career with us.

Publicly, I'm sure he'd say loyalty. But if, at any point, a much bigger club had come in offering 20% more pay, would he (or those others from back in the day) have turned it down?

Personally I doubt he'd have stayed in such a situation. Sports people need a mentality of wanting to reach the highest level they can. And they aren't averse to a big fat pay cheque.

Let's not forget Jimboyo lived in the pre-Bosman era.

Anyway, for me: Speroni. No elaborate explanations and who truly knows?

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
