The best player I have ever seen in a red shirt. Possibly the best player I have ever seen, and I have seen Cruyff and his mate.
On the pitch, we knew we were never beaten if he was there, and as a manager he wanted us to play football that was exciting, even when he returned, his teams played the game as he did, though with less skilful players.
Off the pitch, his dignity and compassion gave something to hold onto in the days post Hillsborough, and it took its toll.
I never understood how anyone could call him dour, when we shared smiles of joy with him so many times. Maybe, when someone capable of such happiness is then so deeply saddened then others may not see their heart was breaking.
He is simply Kenny to me, our player, our boss, our man.
