Under The Influence.

[Andy Waller]

Harry Bassett summed up David Lee to perfection. He said that he was either man of the match or a waste of a shirt. Too often he was the latter for me.

Aye - think that's true too, but in terms of influence, all them Cup games where we were giant killing and stuff, stand out and Lee played his part.

That's the whole debate.

Was Fabian DeFreitas sh*te?

Yes.

Did he score two really important goals at Wembley?

Also yes.

The then left-back once told me that they couldn't get the ball off of DeFreitas in training, and everyone was at a loss as to how come he simply couldn't perform in matches.

BTW, the only influence I've ever seen Phil Brown have was he influenced the promising young full back, Nicky Hunt, to play the position as badly as he did.

Can't believe that no one has mentioned the catalyst that was ANDY WALKER - he lit the blue touch paper for everything else that followed
