Hard to believe it’s 12 years since the spell after joining Sunderland when he was terrifying every defender he played for half a year. That short, glorious period has almost been forgotten to time, you never see it mentioned.
He was a genuinely excellent player at Derry and at the start of Sunderland. It’s a shame he seems to be stuck with somewhat of a pashun merchant reputation, which IMO has a lot to do with the meme-ification of football discourse.
Id love to have seen him at Celtic , but that ship has long sailed

Remember when we used to have premiership players
