Igor Stimac and the 100 mile trip to visit a sick fan

why did he ever go to WHU...never understood that one.

According to Jim Smith’s autobiography it was because he was suffering from injuries and he didn’t feel that he was giving the club “value for money†any more.

When you look at his appearance stats for West Ham – he was there two full seasons after he left us and only played 43 games – so basically, was only fit for half of each season.

He then went back to Hadjuk Split for a season and only played 11 games before retiring.

So in retrospect TBE was probably right.

It’s a measure of his legend that he only played 80 odd games for us

I wish I was old enough to have been able to remember the BBG. Born in '94 I pretty much missed it. :(

Igor's a great bloke too, it's a shame footballers nowadays are too busy rolling around in money and are ******.

Igor was, and still is for that matter, an absolute gent.

The only player I've known in recent times that's got away with a fag at half time in the dressing room. (apparently)

Yeah, even The Bald Eagle wouldn't challenge him on that one, although he once gave Wanchope a right upper cut if memory serves me right.
