Haha thats a bit harsh, there was a good relationship there despite the fact it didnt work out. Its refreshing to see something like this now and again. Football is such a horrible world generally.
Makes a nice change, players used to leave and never have a good word to say
The relationship was great, but the sex was terrible. He tried and tried, but he could never finish.
I quite liked him, pretty much because he was a good player who just seemed to be shit out of luck soon into his career with us, after a half decent start.
I think he got respect as he not once blamed anyone for this, nor did he complain when we started playing a reserve lad ahead of him, didn't whinge in the papers, criticise the fans, demand a move... absolutely perfect professional from a fan's point of view, and I think (mostly) everyone felt for him.
Actually did a painting of him a couple of years ago. Probably the least valuable painting in the world.

More like "who the fuck would buy a painting of a striker that couldn't score"
Maybe. I think he just had a huge amount of passion that you could see each time he scored, which is what I went for. it's just a shame he couldn't have had better luck, otherwise he'd be a real club legend.
It'd be a bit morbid to capture/depict the negative side of reality.
I'd like to think it ended up better than the one he paid to have in his lounge at least....:lamelashock:
Wow, that is horrid.Maybe. I think he just had a huge amount of passion that you could see each time he scored, which is what I went for. it's just a shame he couldn't have had better luck, otherwise he'd be a real club legend.

It can't be real. Lol.
It wasn't. Art is a lot of things, and in this particular instance it was about capturing something in his reaction that represented something about him. He could have score 60 goals for us, and not even that as a collective would have felt as special as maybe that one goal against Forest, or Everton.
I have nothing but respect for Bobby.
What he went through when he first joined us I wouldn't wish on anyone. It is inconceivable that it didn't effect his settling here.
A guy has become a supporter of our club because of who we are and the support we gave him. I don't see why that is a problem.
Big up Bobby Soldier.

My eyes watered, as it was like watching a long series where the underdog finally gets the happy ending. At least it felt like it.
I blame Sherwood for a lot of Soldado's downfall. It felt like he didn't want him to succeed at the time, and seem to remember he dropped or subbed him everytime he got into any form.
