|
| (Feb
01) A promising return against Stockport. Les is very important to our
current tactics and we could do with him staying fit until the |
| end of the
season be that Man United in May or the end of the cup run. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| (Jan 01) After a
couple of goals in November (& of course the games out with injury in
between) and a contract coming up, Ferdinand's |
| agent is mixing it tying to get a new contract with talk
of leaving the "club he supported as a boy". Fat Les owes us and
its payback time |
| (Dec
00) Another game another head injury and Les is out again |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| (Nov 00) While Les is still a shadow of the great forward
he was when he was younger, he has managed a few goals in recent matches |
| (notably the
hat-trick against Leicester) and is now our top scorer. Easily his best month
in his three years at the club |
|
|
| (Oct
00) Unfortunately for Les, his recent performances have left the distinct
impression that he has lost it at the top level, a decline |
| hastened by
the removal of the wide attacking options that has characterised his success
elsewhere. |
|
|
|
|
| (Sept 00)Injury prone who still averages around £500,000
and three months per goal since his arrival from Newcastle for a then record
fee |
| of £6m. Its hard not to like Les and although his best
years are behind him he reminded everyone of his power in the air with a fine
goal |
| against
Ispwich. He will be a useful backup to Iversen and Rebrov. |
