With the Yann thread I felt Chrissy Powell deserved a thread too.

When ever he was asked about his time here he has always paid tribute to the club as a whole and as often made his admiration for Nigel Pearson known. Having met him a few times aswell he is nothing but a true gent. He hasnt got a bad thing to say about anything. Chris Powell was a top man and a top servant to the club.

Not many players make a geniune connection with the fans. In recent times I would say on Bruno Berner and Chris Powell have
