In the pedantic interest of accuracy, not quite ! He left us to be player manager of York City but agree with everything else you've said ???? This was probably the best thing that could have happened for all parties concerned. He was coming to the end of his playing career and Management was the obvious next choice. Whilst we would have loved him to have become SCFC Manager at some point, as befalls all Managers he would have ultimately been sacked eventually here in that fickle world and his Legendary status at Stoke would have been slightly tarnished forever. To a lesser degree see also Chris Kamara! Best to remember him for his long service and total commitment to the cause. I was parked in Stone a couple of years back and he pulled up alongside me with his wife. It was sad to see him hobbling along the street. His legs must be totally mangled from what he put them through. One of our all time best without a doubt. He's half metal nowadays, which explains why he looks so stiff when he walks.

The original Bionic Man or was the Bionic Man before Denis. I can't remember.
