Some of the responses dismissing JWP are understating his importance to us and efforts over a number of seasons.
From my recollection he always gave his all, often in a crap team. Free kicks were outstanding, although I accept the argument that this sometimes glossed over other shortcomings in his game.
I’m not sure he’s the salvation if he returns, but could offer something. But can’t fault him for leaving when he did, still had aspirations of England call ups. I certainly wouldn’t put him in the journeyman category (having been at two clubs in his career).
