    I'll always be grateful for his contribution to our promotion season, but sadly the Championship is where he should have stayed.

    He had the profile to play for England, never the talent. England is pretty much political.

    Smith was a decent prospect, but injurys and managers messing with his position just destroyed his career in my eyes. Smith is not and never was a midfielder

    On an almost related note (our players with international caps), every home game I pick up on the fact that in the list of our players career stats in the programme, Krul's 2 Dutch national team caps are not on there. A small thing but it bugs me every time I see the bastard thing!

    I also used to love him .. He was my favourite player for Newcastle for a season or two .. I used to love his no bullshit style and hard hitting tackling .. I used to always say he is who i modelled myself on when playing sunday league .. It didnt work out too well for me and now i know why haha

    No, because he was a good player before he broke his leg.

    im convinced the majority of football fans have 0 knowledge of football from before 2005.

    its what i like to refer to as the "Football Manager Generation"

    He hasn't. Smith was a good forward for Leeds, not a brilliant goal record, but a damn decent player. Ever since he was made a defensive midfielder by SAF his career has been ****.
