Nicky was a pivotal player (maybe THE pivotal player in our 2002/2003 season) when we were beaten in the playoffs to reach the Premier league. The next season he was largely injured and subsequently moved on to Ipswich I think. If he’d stayed fit he’d have definitely been with the club still in the season when we finally made it to the Premier league (05/06) and would be truly writ into legend status among devotees.
ah, good 🙂 Like I said, he’s a nice guy. He did go to ipswitch and is now at brighton I believe.
