One from the Archives http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/huddersfield_town/8130763.stm Who's sorry now?
"It is understood that Town's new board are concerned over his possible resale value at the end of his contract when he would be 30 years old." Yeah could never get £1m out of him now
On a brighter note for the 'Udders, they got rid of Lee Clark, who seems to be working his magic at Brum!
They're not doing bad either and I wonder whether they could follow Norwich and us in going straight through the championship.
I was thinking about this the other day. To be fair although Lambert had long deserved to move on from Rovers I don't think anyone could predict he would be scoring goals in the Premier League within 3 seasons.
Rickie has proven the doubters wrong at every level. I remember at the start of last season people doubting his ability at Championship level!
Rickie has been the leading scorer in his division for the last 4 years. The odds of him doing it again must be dropping fast, so get in there quick!
I think for every saints fan Lambert has been a personal victory for us in terms of banter. I cannot count the number of times that i've been told by people that he wouldn't score in a higher division or he is too 'lazy' or 'slow'. I specifically remember one Reading fan telling me "Southampton aren't Norwich, Rickie Lambert isn't Grant Holt. You should be happy for a mid table finish this season (last season)", well not only did we equal Norwich Lambert outscored Holt when he was in the Championship. Plus Lambert is just a top guy, and his penalty record speaks for itself. He needs his own motto "Rickie Lambert, proving doubters wrong year after year after year".
I admit to thinking 50/50 whether we would see goal 100 from him this season. If he stays fit(touch wood) then it just appears to be a matter of when. Did he ever win the league 2 golden boot?
Unfortunately he didn't - that's not to say he didn't come close. http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalScorers/0,,10794~200526,00.html Also feel free to cast your eyes down the list to the other Rochdale striker...
