Hossam Ghaly
There may be good reasons why he is being forced out the door (if the rumours are true), but he has been a great player for us over the years. I know he probably never fulfilled his true potential and that there were some weaknesses in his game, but ever since he broke into the team under Jol, until now, we always looked a better side when he was in it than when he was out. When he was out there on the pitch, he worked incredibly hard for the team. He was always a threat with his pace, especially when he was utilized correctly. He is also actually an intelligent footballer, which seems to go unnoticed, but he is good at picking the right option and he plays for the team rather than for personal glory. Another thing I liked about him is that he always seemed genuinely happy whenever we scored a goal, even if wasn't involved. Many players doesn't seem that fuzzed if someone else scores, but he had his arms over his head and sprinted towards the goalscorer.
4-4 at the Emirates
The run and pass at San Siro
Breaking our Chel53a hoodoo
Last second winner at home against Liverpool
His numerous assists for Defoe and Crouch the year we qualified for the Champions League (possibly his most productive season)
Some memories I am sure even those of you who criticized him the harshest will remember for years to come.
I am sure he will get a great reception when he returns to the Lane with a new club, and deservedly so.
Another favorite moment --his volleyed cross back to Tainio for him to score in the 4-3 win at West Ham. Tremendous technique for which i think he was underated.
