Still remember this clip. Funnily enough, if memory serves me right it's also from after we flogged Port in a Showdown. The more things change...

This is my favourite from him though. Quality banter when the world had gone to shit.

Big loss for Port.
Of their players with GF experience, Rat had the best GF performance.
Dont know how they can replace such talent.

One thing that irks me about BigFooty is downhill skiers like Atkins get treated the same as outright spuds that never played a good game in their life.

Lets hope that all that family time results in a couple of sons.

He played a role during our last Premiership push.

Ironically way to end his career given how much he hated Port, his words at an after match function.

I bet when he was asked about coming "home" as a salary dump so Port can get Luko he had a "troll face".

He would have enjoyed the pumping we gave them Saturday

Ironically this was the moment in time when his career turned to shit. From memory he was on a pretty solid upward trajectory prior to this, playing some really good consistent footy. Then he dyed his hair, and it was all downhill from there.

It is Exhibit A in the Carl Spackler hairstyle to form correlation.

What a career. He is absolutely one of the players I have ever seen.
