Love Ginge, there are no dramatics, you can see from his reaction at the end, it was extremely emotional for him and it’s not even finalized yet. 54,000 paying you tribute, makes the hairs on my neck stand up just watching it. Yes it’s a business yes it’s all about money, but for crying out loud we normally go into a season appearing “light” in the squad, keep him a place, register him for emergencies, pay him 20k a week (we’ve been throwing 100k plus at hart for goodness sake) he probably won’t care as long as he’s involved somehow and ready to help out when needed, also the experience for Rice and what he can learn is invaluable.
There is, imho, a place for sentiment in football.
At a time where there is a massive disconnect between owners and fans, the club need bridges like Ginge. A player the fans feel connected to and who the fans know understands them.
He was in bits at the end and I’ll admit to not being completely dry eyed.
He is just the type of player you need on a cold and wet Wednesday night at Huddersfield to repel all the aerial stuff. Could have said at Stoke or West Brom but they aren't a factor at least for one season.
