What was the big fuss about Darren Anderton

retiring this weekend? The guy will be remember more for his injuries and his nickname rather than his footballing ability.

I can't remember a huge fuss made out of his last game

It's because he nearly signed for United and had he done so, David Beckham would never have existed.

Only because Gary Neville was suspended.

he was a dreamboat, will be missed. R.I.P.

he had some £#%&!ing chin on him.

and looks like £#%&!gy from scooby doo

Scored an 88th minute winner in his last game.

RIP

Injury prone fanny with no strength or consistency.

On his day he could terrify defences like ummmm.....Stuart Downing does once or twice a season.

Sorry, my mistake he wasn't injury prone then?

We must be talking different Darren Andertons in that case.

i dont think its fair to say he was prone to injury, yes had a few injuries but to play nearly 600 games is something saha for example will never achieve.

could he not have just played one more game to make it 600. that would really piss me off knowing that i had retired on 599.
