Ricardo Fuller

I just read his wikipedia page and the first paragraph had this:

To view the link you have to Register or Login

Quote:
Fuller was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and began his career with Tivoli Gardens before moving to English club Crystal Palace in February 2001 for £1million, after impressing on trial during January. Despite this he played just eight games for Palace (having suffered from knee problems; fans nicknamed him 'Glass-Knees'), and after failing to settle, he returned to Tivoli at the end of the campaign.
Since when did we ever pay £1m for him, and did anyone really call him "Glass-Knees"?!

Sounds like a load of bullshit to me.

Just shows what playing under Alan Smith does for a player.

Remember Alan 'Some say Smith, we say God' Smith getting Matthew Upson on loan from Arsenal and infruriating Arsenal by playing him at right back where he looked totally ordinary. Now look at him.

He had one great performance, away at watford

His performance against Wolves however was laughable (though he wasnt alone that day)

At the time, reports did suggest that we paid £1m for him, but it wasn't true.

As pointed out, away @ Watford, he was brilliant but other then that, he failed to impress. I thought it was more like four games, as opposed to eight, but I'm probably wrong.

I remember that wolves game, I actually felt embarrassed for him. His first touch was so bad that it looked like he had come straight from the pub.

Don't think Wayne and Fuller ever played in the same side.

Indeed... Fuller vs Watford was 2000/01 season.

Routledge sent off at Watford was 2002/03 season.

He was amazing at Watford that day! But didn't do much else. I remember his debut at Barnsley, which was pretty uneventful too!

Didn't help that people wrote him off as being "crap" after only a handful of matches. Bearing in mind that he was playing in an uninspired Alan Smith side.

Sure I read somehwere that Fuller was recovering from an injury when he was here and was nowhere near full fitness. Considering the money we have wasted on players I would have thought giving him a 6 month contract would have been worth a gamble, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

You could see he had something from his performace away at Watford. My lads and I really raved about him that day but it took him a long time to fulfill that potential.

Kenny Verhoene, he made one 5 minute appearance and people on here sometimes list him as one of our worst ever players, based on a single headed clearance!

Just saw this post by Kenny on Aki's website:

Kenny Verhoene (kennyverhoene@hotmail.com), 8/9-2001 20:24Mister Riihilati, How you're doing back there in England. As far as I see on the webpage of Palace you're doing pretty well. You scored already two goals?? My God, you see what it means to have some practice with a real striker, isn't it? As you know I'm playing in Israel for the moment, but I hope to go back pretty fast to Europe and in particular Holland or England of course. I wish you all the best this season (with many goals!!) and also for the whole team of course. Many greetings to all the boys. Oh yes, my question? Did you discover already some new nice places to go when I'm back there. Greetings out of Beer-Sheva, Israel.Kenny Verhoene

Hallo Kenny,
Nice to hear from You. It really helped to see some striker work. Hope You have it great there and footie is going good. I will own the city by the time You are back here
