That was my answer. Tribunal set the fee at 120K, which was a huge fee for a 4th Division player in 1996, so I assumed that he'd be our star player. Don't think he even played once Gritt had been appointed, did he?
That I don’t remember but I do remember going into full NSC mode at the time and writing him off as absolute shite after a couple of games, as I saw nothing that made him look any better than we already had, and no I don’t think he played too often.
Like you I thought at 120 k, which was a massive fee for where we were, he’d stand out from our other midfielders. As it turns out no better than Valur Gislasson who came along a year or two later as a hyped up Arsenal star in the making.
