Funny because at the time (I was about 15) I thought all three were really uninspiring signings, how wrong was I, three of the most influential signings the club have ever made imo, and it was quire a simple strategy really, good solid pro's, experience in every department, you're right, it was short, but a fantastic ride whilst it lasted.
I've told this story before, and I'll tell it again, because Edgy deserves that, and it shows just much he loved this club despite the totally unwarranted shit he took, but a friend of mine was out in town one night stood at the bar, turns round and Edgy is stood next to him, now my mate is a HUGE blue, but with a bit of a weird sense of humour, so goes "Aight Richard, you still playing for that shit team" ? Edgy was having none of it and was ready to take his coat off then and there, luckily my friend managed to get in quickly that he was a blue himself and just having a laugh and the whole thing took a different direction.
As fans, I always think we let this lad down, like we did with other players, players like Paul Power, Clive Wilson and Dave Bennett, lads who would have run through brick walls for the club, imagine as fans getting the chance they did, a dream come true playing for the club you supported, and making a mistake and your own fans turning on you to such an extent it actually left you psychologically damaged, always been a sense of shame for me this one, and no coincidence the above 3 went on to win major honours or have very good careers with other clubs.
