Didsbury Dave said:Another thing about Vassell:
He was in and out the side, played out of position, given stick by the crowd and saw managers come and go.
But I never once saw him whinge to the press or badmouth the club in any way.
Spot on mate - Darius was a gent who always conducted himself professionally and with dignity. The level of abuse he received from the crowd did not show our fans up at all well, belying our claims to be amongst the best fans in the country.
I know players like Vass and Samaras were well short of the quality we needed at the time, but it was still pretty shameful the grief and personal abuse they received game after game from our 'supporters'.
Anyway - I digress. I hope Vass sorts something out for himself, if not at his current club then back here in the Premier League - he's better than a lot of the strikers you see at places like Hull and Portsmouth, and his pace could be a valuable asset which would give one of those clubs another dimension to their attacking play.
