He was good but he wasn't good enough to score against us for a club he never played for! Scored for Bristol City against us in the same season he got a hattrick against us for Newcastle.
I had a tenner with my mate on day 1 of the season that DC would score 20 this season. He's a good player. Works hard. Scores goals. Good to see some of those who were giving him (and many others) stick changing their minds. Patience with players is key.
Brett Angel, Clive Mendonca and Darren Huckerby always seemed to score against us in my youth. Maybe Craig Bellamy as well.
Keegans promotion season failed to score against us at Oakwell but got the 3 at St James later in season.
Cole was onside for that goal - tried uploading a picture and it's still not letting me. Seen some stills on Twitter
How anyone can say definitively on or off from a still picture is beyond me. EDIT: just seen your reply John. I must admit I looked at Lino straight away thinking he was off. Shame, he deserved it.
Cole was still at Bristol City when we played Newcastle at home in the season they were promoted under Keegan.
I have to say, at the start of the season, having seen the ages and repective playing records of Cole and Norwood, I could scarcely have been more underwhelmed at the frontline recruitment for this season. I am thrilled to have been proved completely wrong (again) by both.
