I thought he was a disgrace, he was at it all game and that face hold and fall over was pathetic, a lovely long throw will keep him playing under Warnock though.

Serious let down, shame to see he's resorted to cheating and gamesmanship and that his contribution is reduced to a long throw. I saw him as a youth playing for Colchester and really rated but he never did as well as he should have with his physique and two really good feet despite having a decent career.

Scum and what wrong with the modern game !

 

[GP200]

................his collapse in the first few minutes was worthy of a London stage..............

 

[BFC1997]

For me he's a great player to have in your squad at this level.

Yep, versatile, knows the league, works hard

Versatile - tick, knows this league - tick, works hard - not on Saturday, he chose to only get involved in the petty stuff and long throws. I was disappointed and angry with him long before he blatantly cheated and tried to get Jake sent off. He was a disgrace and for someone who I once thought had the talent and potential to play for his country for a long time it's a shame that is how he's finishing an remarkable un fulfilled career.

I thought he worked hard and despite not being a winger by nature, he gave Bidwell a torrid time.

He's utter tripe

What does that make our players then? Just because he's physical and a bit of a journeyman, it doesn't make him a bad player. He helps teams win.

We have enough tripe

Let's agree to differ, he has the ability, I think his attitude and work rate is awful but all about opinions.

They haven't won many ?

They might next season, in league one.

 

[BFC1997]

No but he makes them harder to beat. Not saying he's a Championship Ronaldo just that he isn't below this level like many of you seem to suggest.

I never suggested he was below this level, I posted it's a disgrace that he's sunk to the lows he did on Saturday when he possesses the ability and nous to be the best footballer on the pitch.

............not and nowhere near 'great'................

'I put out an SOS' - Halford scores after joining Southend for free

Greg Halford says he "put out an SOS" offering to play for free before joining Southend, scoring on his debut hours later.

[JANORAK]

I love that, scores for Southend 3 hours after signing. Helps to beat Grimsby 3 - 1. Colin Murray (on Quest) added that before signing, GH had been keeping fit and training with....Grimsby!

When did he leave Judas Priest?

20 years ago? But he’s now back with them again, and just waiting to tour post-covid....

So he is just filling in time at Southend?

 

[JANORAK]

So he is just filling in time at Southend?

Well he’s either 36 or 63, so whichever, there is more career behind than ahead of him/them.

I preferred “Ripper” Owens.

This thread is a great microcosm of how far we've come since it was started in 2006!

And transfer fees in general. Someone really thought he would play for England as well!

To be fair that Colchester side that went up (2005?) were pretty decent and he was a good player back then.
