I can't believe we've left it too late, it never did seem to be the right time, the stars just never aligned, and now this sad sad day has come, it's OFFICIALLY TOO LATE.

Gutted doesn't even come close. Rest in peace the career of BIG Stevie Howard. #sadtimes

Gone but not forgotten.

Will always be in my heart, he covered almost every blade of grass over the course of his career...

Had a decent career for a player signed from Tow Law didn't he? , left us far too early , I'm referring to 1999 of course.

Had a good career but we shouldn't have signed him back, he was never going to say no to a few year contract on decent money like so can't blame him... Although we can blame him for being a lazy bastard.

or was that Marlon Harewood?

The way he made out he was operating at another level to us after being a lazy fucking fat prick all season really annoyed me.

Brings a tear to my eye this

Well you hide your feelings well.

Just when you think he couldn't get any worse you find out he is a landlord.

Imagine having that much money and they only thing you can think to do with it is become a landlord.
