Early in his career, a newspaper article in, I think, The Guardian, made a comment about him being a good 'park' player, seeing as he had scored solely at grounds with 'Park' in the name - St James's Park, Upton Park, etc.
Much as I like Carl, I think perhaps 'legend' is a tad over-enthusiastic. Cult hero, certainly. Please, not jokes about 'cu*t hero'.
Very true. Lennie constantly defended him, explaining that he had to "learn in public" due to our financial position at the time. I believe during his early years, admittedly partly because he made a lot of sub cameos, he had stats of 3 in 90! For that alone his cult status is assured.
I'll never forget his goal in the fa cup game up at old Trafford. May have lost that game. But will never forget the power of the celebration from our fans.
He caused a rather gobby cafc fan in f block get a corking black eye and fat lip for his continual f off leaburn shouts in that season with mendonca I had enough could take no more
