LOL. Funny story. The summer we signed him, we snuck in a dead late friendly before the season started against City at Main Road. So late it was pay on the gate. Half full. Laid back, can't be arsed dead quiet atmosphere in the sun. It was basically kids and Sander. Anyway, first time most of us had ever seen him live, and he's bombing it down the other end, kicks and throws, and Mellor was up front and not getting anywhere near them. This fella' stands up and shouts dead loud ''Kinel lad! Don't ******* kick it that far. He's not Linford f-ing Christie like!' ..... And Westerveld turns around, stares at him, walks back toward us behind the goal and shouts back 'The lazy little **** will be after a few games with me!' .... To great hilarity. Endeared himself to us from the get go.
He was still **** like lol. But still WAY better than Mingolet!
