It was Portsmouth away, we were winning 1-0.”I scored in the first half and he came in and he battered me. He just went at me and I felt it wasn’t deserved.”And I went back at him and probably went back a bit too far. It was a bit disrespectful.”And he spoke to me after that. And made it clear that I can’t speak to him like that.”And then I went out and scored another two. So I scored a hat-trick in the game.Patching things up”It was always after the game, it was on the bus. This is where he was always brilliant.”He’d be sat on the bus and he’d walk past you and get a tea or a coffee. “And he walks back past you, he’d give you a little slap on the head and that was his way of saying it’s forgot about.”So you were half waiting for it.
