Fantastic player who seemed to not only mesmerise his fans, his colleagues and the opposition but also the officials who seemed incapable of seeing fouls right under their noses.

At the time we had the back line that lent itself to Young Fish Costa Fortune.

And if course there was the book tracking our progress from Selhurst to the the Premier, I believe by Mick Collins, " From Portacabins to Porto Captains".

RIP The Tan

I remember his first press conference ahead of his debut v Chelsea. Asked how he felt about facing hasselbank he replied “well he has never scored against me before so no problem” - I thought that was a bit bold but he was outstanding for us RIP

This is very sad news what a player. I remember him once coming out for a warm down in his flip flops. RIP JC 💔
