Harshly put, but about the size of it

Who remembers Jim Cannons testimonial in 82/3 it was an all black team v an all white team, can you imagine the uproar it would cause now.

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

I can't understand the bitterness towards him...

Donate to charity has been the recent trend but if Wardy’s not getting one they are probably over at Palace.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Wilf back. January transfer window maybe.

There does seem to be a degree of animosity or "bitterness" here. I suppose it is partly the fan mentality of loyalty beginning and ending with a players spell at a club.

I guess a lot of fans sensed, particularly in recent seasons, that his heart wasn't always in the club and that he would have jumped ship much sooner had he had the chance, and right offer had come along.

The other thing is that I don't think supporters necessarily warmed to him greatly as a personality. On the pitch he rarely smiled and, as we all know, was prone to a lot of moaning and gesticulating. Off pitch he always came across as being rather uncomfortable at being in front of a camera and tended to resort to cliches, leaving us not knowing quite what he is really like as person.

That’s how it used to work, otherwise what’s the point?
