What happened to Foz? Wasn't aware of it at the time?
he was let go at the end of the 00 season, after 20 years and was on the verge of getting a double testimonial as it was unheard of. But apparently the club was pretty slapdash about it, which got a lot of speccies(you don't hear that word anymore) backs up, the decision to release him was made after the season finished(iirc) and wasn't given a send off, as was the case with hilton who was out with (yet another) shoulder reconstruction.
Meanwhile danny farrar got chaired around the pitch and a guard of honour off it as he was retiring. It was a common accusation back then that the english/local players didn't get treated as well as van de velde's mates.
