Bobby Convey leaves

His star shone all too briefly during the halcyon days of '05/'06, and now Bobby Convey has left the club by mutual consent. Convey was one of the revelations of that season, but hardly featured after that with injury giving Shunty his opportunity which he duly took. Convey's last contribution of note was over a year ago, when he supplied the pass to set-up Jim Harper's goal against Liverpool. Since then he has become an increasingly peripheral figure, though one who remained well-liked by the fans. Stand out Convey moment for me?  A goal that lingers in the memory was one he scored at Molineux, typical marauding run, cuts in from the left and drives a low shot home. Quality. Nicky Hammond offered some gracious words on his departure, suggesting he 'has a place in our history'. Quite so.

The yank was wank - he played some lovely sublime stuff in the past, but the past is the past, and we must move forward. Good luck to the young lad - NEXT!
