Glad to see there haven't been any of those Rotherham jokes so far. @PL54 there are many great areas around Rotherham. Not good to tar it with the same brush. Good luck Lawrie. Don't think you were ever shite. Not that many players can play so well in a multitude of positions as you have.
As others have already said, Big Bad Bob killed him. But he can be an effective player, in the right team. From Chris Powell's runaway champions team, who have we got left - just Jacko, Sols and Wiggins?
Anyway, good luck Lawrie.
Pretty sure he was not part of CP's League 1 Champions team.
Yes, he signed the following summer, when it started becoming clear that the money had run out!
I was begining to doubt myself as there are comments on FB about him being decent in League 1

He was! For Stevenage. :-)
He played in quite an attacking role for them against us. I'm sure he must have made an impression on Powell and Dyer!
Football - Evans keen on Wilson deal Rotherham boss Steve Evans believes there is a chance Lawrie Wilson's loan move from Charlton could become permanent in the summer.
Wilson made his Millers debut in Saturday's 3-2 derby defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, 24 hours after joining from the Addicks until the end of the season.
Wilson had made 27 appearances for the London side but was not a regular under new boss Guy Luzon.
His capture - Evans' 30th signing of the season - ends a long chase which began when the Addicks visited Rotherham in the Championship in September.
"We have been looking for a player who can play that right side of midfield role for a couple of months now," Evans said. "Someone that could come in with the industry and skilful attributes that improves us.
"We asked about Lawrie Wilson as far back as when we played Charlton at home earlier in the season.
"Bob Peeters said he would get back to me and I am still waiting for Bob Peeters to get back to me!
"He's a good player, it looks like Charlton are moving in a different direction, we are just pleased the Charlton manager said yes.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for a player to look at a football club and a football club to look at a player.
"We have got the option to do something further and that is on Lawrie and ourselves."
Wilson made his bow in the right-sided midfield role on Saturday but Evans believes he can offer versatility.
"Charlton FC have been terrific, we knew for a few days that he was in the door.
"He can play right-back, right side of midfield, central midfield and right-sided centre-half, but predominantly he is a right-sided midfielder."
Just had a phone call on my mobile. Bad reception to start with.
"Hi Derek, this is Laurie Wilson from Charlton. I just wanted to apologise for not being at the Sponsors Dinner last night".
He went on to say that a shirt had been sent to him at Rotherham from Charlton to be signed and returned for me as his first team kit sponsor, but Rotherham had delayed in sending it back in time for last night's dinner. We had a great chat and it was like talking to an old mate on the phone.
I am not easily impressed but he deserves a mention for taking the time to ring me and explain why I did not receive a signed shirt from him last night and why he wasn't at the dinner. He explained he will be having talks with the club and his agent in the next few weeks to discuss his future and I wished him good luck in whatever happens for him.
Just coming on to say similar to Del, I am his third kit sponsor and have also received a call from Lawrie to apologise for not being there and the shirt not making it in time. Am not easily impressed either, but wanted to let others know what a top lad he is! Very friendly, and felt totally at ease speaking to him. Can't wait to have his shirt, will be a treasured one along with Yann's.

Top Bloke in my opinion!
What a class act. I really hope he rediscovers his confidence and form. If it is with us, so much the better.

Bob Peeters said he used to be shite, but now he's alright."
Oh I get it, because he's been sacked! Good one Steve!
Also, who the hell sold Wilson as a right-sided centre half? And can he do some marketing for me?
at least he has company, Richard Wood is also on the bench
