Feel like this guy doesn't have the cult following he deserves.

Signed for us on a trial basis and kept us up with two crucial goals at St. James' Park and the Riverside in 2007.

Retired in 2014. Was last in the news for suing Paul Sturrock over claims he missed training while at Plymouth because he'd taken Viagra.

 
Still remember this headed goal vividly, as I was walking back to my seat just as the cross went in — big bloke (and I am 1.86m tall) already on the steps nearly threw me in to the far row when he jumped up to celebrate.

 
Signed off the scrap heap and his goals kept us up in '07

Considering we were bought twice in the years following, it's easy to wonder where we'd be had we gone down....
 
His cult status in my eyes is heavily influenced by his Championship Manager performances for me, long before he came to the club.

I was absolutely buzzing when he signed, and he kept us up. Didn't quite work out for him when Sven came in though.
