Pretty shite in his six months at Celtic, a big money signing who has supposed to be Celtic's answer to Mark Hately. In and out the team for the first month or so due to a combination of injuries and, generally being clumsy, slow and pretty shite. Took about ten games to get his first goal for Celtic, coming off the bench to score an open goal against Hearts at Celtic Park which he very nearly missed, a couple of minutes later he chinned Craig Levein at a corner with a right hook that was much more accurate than his shooting then, a straight red card in an eventful five minute cameo off the bench. Incredibly and hilariously managed to score a late equaliser at Ibrox a few weeks later, latching on to a dreadful passback by Nigel Spackman. His swansong in the hoops came at Airdrie in November, on a day he actually scored a cracking goal with a turn swivel then shot type finish, he made his final, and probably most noticeable impact in a Celtic shirt on an unfortunate police woman, chasing an overhit pass his momentum carried him off the touchline, absolutely smashing into the WPC and slamming her against the perimeter wall at the front of the terrace at Broomfield, she suffered a serious back injury, having to retire from the force whim she sued successfully for compensation of, I seem to recall a six figure sum. Chelsea, quite laughably agreed to swap Tom Boyd for him and he went on to have an equally poor spell at Stamford Bridge before a successful Indian summer type spell at Marseilles of all clubs late in his career. Cracking lad by all accounts who speaks fondly of the club and its fans, admitting he wasn't really up to it in his brief spell at Celtic Park, few would argue with that, he was pretty fucking dreadful it has to be said. IIRC he described the uglies as the world " capital " of tribal hatred. Of course I am probably wrong ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Lomas appears halfway through a season and has us 4th headed into split before we lose all 5 games. Something like a 10 game winless run between seasons happens before we beat Celtic. We then turn into the most exciting Saints team ive seen with Tade/Vine/Hasslebaink all strikers will to take people on at pace. He brings Tommy Wright and Steven MacLean to the club, and then brings in Mehdi Abeid who remains one of my favourite Saints players despite only playing about 10 times. We finish 3rd and match our highest ever league finish. All this combined with constant rumours hes on the pish every weekend in town singing The Sash, and rumours hes been flashing his knob to female staff at the club. He then jumps ship to Millwall amidst these rumours and vanishes from the managerial scene completely.

Also had a trialist turn up, play really well and then disappear after two more quick appearances. The rumour was that he'd asked Geoff Brown for a loan to pay off gambling debts owed to some Glasgow gangsters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
