I always wanted to see him play in the premiership when he was at his best, tearing it up in the SPL. He's still a quality player but his best years are behind him now.

Manchester United will sign veteran striker Henrik Larsson on a three-month loan deal in January.
The 35-year-old former Celtic striker will leave current club Helsingborg on 1 January and return when the Swedish season starts in mid-March.
Larsson said: "United have been after me before, after the first or second season with Celtic.
"It feels good to come and play for such a big club. I may not start every match, but it feels like a fun thing."
Premiership leaders United are short of options up front, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer injured and Alan Smith still seeking full fitness.
That leaves Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha as their only recognised strikers.
Larsson left Barcelona at the end of last season to join hometown club Helsingborg.
He helped them to a fourth-placed finish in the Swedish league, which means they are now in the Scandinavian Royal League - contested by 12 clubs, four each from Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
He spent two seasons in Spain and played a decisive role in this year's Champions League final when he came on in the second half and set up both goals in the defeat of Arsenal.
The Swede joined Barca in 2004 following a hugely successful seven-year spell at Celtic, where he is widely hailed as one of the best players in the club's history.
