What they Said
"It all left Collymore isolated and spiralling into history as one of soccer's greatest misfits.
"He has scored just once since arriving at Villa Park 13 games ago against everyone's favourite Aunt Sally, Spurs, and looked nowhere near adding to that tally against the Hammers."
JOHN HARTSON showed ยฃ7million Stan Collymore where the goal was last night.
West Ham's magnificent striker scored twice and helped make the other goal in a one-way third round Coca-Cola Cup tie.
West Ham manager Harry Redknapp said: "John is a big strong boy. People said we paid too much for him but we are now being proved right. I wouldn't like to play against him. He's in the Geoff Hurst mould."
It all left Collymore isolated and spiralling into history as one of soccer's greatest misfits.
He has scored just once since arriving at Villa Park 13 games ago against everyone's favourite Aunt Sally, Spurs, and looked nowhere near adding to that tally against the Hammers.
He went straight into the pocket of Rio Ferdinand, who looked a class act and will no doubt figure in Glenn Hoddle's World Cup England next summer.
But it was Hartson, amazingly jettisoned by Arsenal, who again caught the eye. The Welsh international is no slouch, with ground skills far better than many give credit, but he also has an almost slavish appetite for work.
