I remember when he opened his account for us. I was watching the game in some odd little 70s-build Sedgley pub where throstles and dingles tend to coexist rather harmoniously; a little like competing airlines in a small, hot grotty airport somewhere, they know that they should hate one another but they've been there and are bored of all that and actually quite get on. Anyway, I was probably drunk and daydreaming while my family/mates roared as he stuck one in, near corner I think; and I do quite clearly remember pondering to myself - despite all the cheering of how brilliant he was gonna be, how the genie was out of the lamp, how the dam was burst, how Ideye was the new Phillips/Supes/Benji/Bomber, how all our non-goalscoring goalscorer woes were now solved - I clearly recall thinking "bloody hell he looks shit, that looked a lot harder than it was meant to". It didn't go too well after that.
