What can I say? It's like trying to describe Neville Southall, except I don't have to mention pies at all. All I can say is that, had we signed him when we first wanted to, he would have been like Neville Southall was for us; Legendary. Whilst he won't be here as long as most of Moyes' signings, he's probably the best example of Moyes' genius. How did he know that Ritchie would hurt his knee and be out for almost the whole season??? Nige played like an Evertonian in every game he played in, making about 1 mistake during the whole season. You know I hate to talk about the "R" word, but he's the reason it didn't happen. He was even voted Man of the Match in the 5-1 thrashing at Man City, which certainly says something if you ask me. His best 2 performances were against the Shite and against Leeds, both of which were obviously very pleasing for him... Who better to hve a good game against than your worst rivals, and your former team??? He even kept a clean sheet against Charlton in the Carling Cup tie after my mother had blinded himwith her camera, causing him to stumble backwards and say "I'M BLIND!" (Very amusing...) He was voted player of the season and rightly so. I think he'll probably have next year's number 1 shirt. He shouldhave been picked for the England team rather than Calamity James who proved his shiteness on more than one occassion during Euro 2004. I really don't kow what to say about him, other than THANK GOD FOR NIGE!!! Ritchie's got a VERY tough job on his hands, which is something we all like to see... well, except him! |
