I was walking to the bolton game last season, and a taxi pulls up on side of road, and paul jumps out in a suit and walks casually to the game and i was the only person that spoke to him, nobody even looked at him, poor bloke. he's a legend in my eyes and i was disguisted at the hundreds of other fans that walked past him without even blinkling an eye-lid.
I said to him "hope you've brought your boots" and he just said "oh, i wish i could"
He appeared on the pitch with other legends and the crowd didn't even acknowledge him either, there was just a chorus of andy morrison.
He is one of my all time favourite players. and quite often craig bellamy reminds me of him.
Dickov, hope you show em how its done at derby, wish there was more players like you. Your playing because you love it, even if you play shit, you enjoy playing and you play again and again, most players give up when they're shit, live off the millions they've earnt/begged for during their playing career then do some sad tabloid columns and some tv pundit work. but you mr dickov are an inspiration. and a breath of fresh air to the modern, money grabbing, sissy world of footballers.
