(Feb 01) Not seen for a while - saving both him and Graham embarresment. Could be the saviour of the season if he morphoses in to a
good player and fills the problem left wing back area - come on Fatcha - prove me wrong            
(Dec 00) Thankfully injured - hopefully he will be a new player when he returns - preferably Hughton rather than his previous  
Tramenzani impression. Go on Ben - be brilliant, leave me with egg all over me chops, go on          
(Nov 00) Quite simply one of the worst players I have ever seen in a Spurs shirt - this year's Dozzell        
(Oct 00)From bad to worse. He cost us a goal against Everton and blamed it on being concussed, which did n't seem to stack up as the
rest of his performances have been of the same substandard quality. £5M for an uncapped England left back - we'll laugh about it one
day, preferably with both Graham and Ben long gone                    
(Aug 00)Another signing from that fine Wimbledon defence which was relegated at the end of the 1999/2000 season and cost a  
staggering £5m for an uncapped (and lets face it, England are not overflowing with decent leftbacks) and essentially ordinary player.
Needs to improve considerably before justifying Graham's decision to buy him. With Christian Ziege available at the same fee, I wonder
how many other managers would have picked Thatcher? - The Goon knows best eh? He's a winner, he told us so………
