Just been watching the Leicester v Crystal Palace match and delighted to see one of our old boys Barry Hayles get the winner...Also amused to read this description of his goal on the BBC website: "In a tight contest Hayles bundled home from close range with a minute to go."
How many times have we seen that eh? My abiding memory of Bazza was his continual hustling, backing into players and generally causing trouble; fantastic stuff.
However, it also got me thinking. When he first came (as our first ever £2m player if i recall correctly) there were plenty of us that thought Kevin Keegan had bought a duff player as he seemed to take an eternity to settle down...sound like anyone we know...Joe Kamara?
When Bazza got into his stride, however, he was a joy. My best ever memory: His last gasp goal in the FA Cup replay match against Southampton in a evening game at the Cottage which set us up for a trip to Old Trafford. Great memories. Good on ya Barry.
