Derby snapped him up and he scored 23 in 72 including the goal below on his debut against Man Utd. Transferred to West Ham for £3.5m where he scored 12 in 35, then went to Man City for £3.6m where it was 27 in 64. Left England to play in Spain for Malaga and never returned, but definitely one that got away!
Just to echo how the Millwall v Hull play-off 2nd leg helped change your view on 'spying,' I''d present exhibit B, QPR v Swansea last week. I'm certain if Swansea had spied on our training in the days leading upto the game, they would have been prepared for Julien playing Paul Smyth up front through the middle. The fact they were 3-0 down after 15 minutes shows they obviously weren't!
Fantastic Report Clive. Up there with your very best.
I'm glad you gave such praise to JS who is proving to be a superb manager for us. It was wonderful to see him smiling so match in the post-match interviews after a difficult week for him leading up to the match.
I'm gutted I wasn't there to see it myself as I had tickets for Cheltenham races purchased months ago before the fixtures came out. However it probably contributed to the result, as I manage to miss all our great home performances, including the Leeds game you referenced in the report. Looking forward to watching the full 90 mins on the Club website this afternoon.
Just watch Vale for the third goal. Ball is cut back behind him and he then decides to go to ground to block an imaginary shot. If he stayed on his feet there might have been some chance of him blocking the actual goal scoring shot.
Thanks so much for that piece, Clive. Fitting tribute to the genius that is Adel and it brought back some wonderful memories. I still can’t comprehend how he didn’t win our POTY award in the promotion season.
It’s great you didn’t gloss over his flaws and loved the line ‘But when we say “if you’re playing for QPR there must be something wrong with you” there is a picture of Adel Taarabt’s face next to that.’ The true heir to Marsh & Bowles.
