Higdon looked great in his first game against Bristol City when he scored. Thought he was finally going to be the answer to our striker problems, however how wrong could I be, as it all went downhill after that. He looked like he couldn't care less and appeared to make no attempt to get fit. If anything he put more weight on and his disciplinary record wasn't great.
His scoring record in Scotland and Holland was excellent, which tells a story about the standard of opposition in those leagues. Rumour was that Cloughie signed him without even watching him play, signing him after watching video clips of his goals. I can see this being true, as we were desperate at the time to sign somebody to resolve our striker problem, while working within our budget.
We will have paid him good wages, as other clubs were after him and it will have cost a considerable amount to pay him off. What a horrendous signing, although the size of his belly is legendary. Cant think of any more useless, fatter, lumps than Higgo, that have played for us.
