Been out a while. Was a pretty decent read. He had 2 covers, one in Sly Blue and one in Norwich colours if I remeber right.

You could always tell it was his autobiography because it was always sticking out just that bit ahead of all the other books on the shelf.

Didn't he hold the record for most offsides in a premier season? .... certainly felt like it!

I believe so - think it was over 100 and he had more offsides than some entire teams did.

Must admit that was slightly before my time. Can just remember Wallace (my hero when I was about 6) and co. For me personally the team with Dublin and co was the best team I’ve seen — or at least when they played well!

Agreed Adge. If only we'd had a top class coach we really could have done something with those players.

I was convinced we were going to win the Fa cup in 98 , still can’t stand Sheffield United . We didn’t need Moldavan , despite his goal v villa

'We didn't need Moldavan' shows both how brilliant our forward line was in that era and unfortunately also how far we have fallen since those glory days!

Moldovan was an established international who would have got into 50-60% of top flight teams at that time. Shows how good a team and especially the front line was at that time that he couldn’t get in.

We did. It was the competition that pushed Dublin (and Huckerby especially) into top form.

Hedman, Nilsson, Breen, Williams, Burrows; Telfer, Soltvedt, Boateng, Whelan; Dublin, Huckerby

1997-98. Unbeaten for half a season.
McAllister’s injury improved the team.
