Get this mofo Deuce off the pitch

digging up that turf while running too and lunging everywhere

Running 50 meters forward during a counterattack without touching the ball.

Pure ecstasy

Remember when they gave him player of the year and his team got relegated..

I don't think he actually won it...but he was up for it. I was actually just about to bring this up.

I don't remember one memorable performance from him that season. Not one. I think people just liked him because he ran around a lot and wore black boots recalling the days of yore.

edit: ah nvm won the FWA award..not the PFA.
