Can anyone summarise whether he and Fowler patched things up or not?
Surprised we don't see more of Soxy on TV - very eloquent chap and always came over very well. What's he up to these days?
I believe he's currently a Chels ambassador. Allowing for the chasms in my Swiss cheese memory, I may have witnessed his last game before his departure to Blackburn. I'm fairly certain it was against Ipswich who had John Wark (the player's always the last person to know he's finished) kicking everything up in the air, viewing the game through the clouds of the East Stand, "Socks" took the ball to the corner flag (Shed End) which inspired John Wark to launch a hefty kick at what used to be called, in Doug Rougvie's day 'man and ball', that "Socks" only avoided by a spectacular jump. Shortly after Glen pulled him off, which prompted "Socks" to pull his shirt off and walk to the bench with an obvious hump and consequent rant, though a passing cloud obscured my view. Seemingly within days "Socks" was out in a not too dissimilar way to Glen Johnson/Jose. I considered he was a better player following his experience at Blackburn as he seemed to relish joining up in midfield (where he collected that woeful tackle from Gerrard in that fantastic 03/04 game which gave us the CL spot under Claudio)... though I'm the first to admit my memory is a pavement sausage... as the mothers of my children confirm far too frequently for my lasting comfort.
