Good luck for the future

Great to see him as part of the Sky team today and looked very happy with the result.

Christ he's only just retired? Those goals against Pompey were 14 years ago!

Apparently Sky did a great montage to celebrate his career, hopefully they put it online.

Very good EFL striker and a proper decent guy.

He got emotional with the messages from former team-mates plus the montage, understandably.

Great lad loved having him with us

I always felt he was treated badly by Saints overall. His goals were vital to us in 11/12 and for a striker who knew where the goal was we didn't give him a chance in the Prem. Especially given all he was dealing with on the personal front at the time with their son, but maybe I'm just an oversentimental tart.

He couldn’t have failed to contribute more than Emmanuel Mayuka.

Top bloke. Loved having him at our club. Didn’t get a fair shot at the Prem with us, but it is what it is.

Think it was suspected at the time but Adkins admitted a few years ago that Cortese forced him to play Mayuka over him.
