Don't dispute his love for the club and his service. He just wasn't as good as everyone thought he was going to be and often pretended he was. He broke all the youth scoring records because he had an adult body a year before anyone else. Unfortunately, then everyone else grew up and he was no longer the strongest and fastest.

In the late 1990s (I'm now 41) I used to give the Middlesbrough goalkeeper Ben Roberts a really hard time from the stands.Whereas I thought Danny Dichio was hugely underrated (years later, I bumped into him at Sunderland's training ground and said just that. He replied, "Yeah, they all say that now. Bet you were shouting how shit I was then, though." He really felt angry about how the fans scapegoated him)

His attempt to switch the interview onto the offensive before it's even begun is easily parried because there is, in fact, a great deal to like about the record. A pop fan and traditionalist through and through, Weller has always shaped his trademark pulpit-thumpers, elegies and beady-eyed observations through the sounds of yesteryear.
