Said it before but it wasn't so much Hanson that pissed me off; the guy's a League Two level plodder at best. It was the attempts to build him up to be so much more than the sum of his parts that wound me up. He was never up to much but folk loved him for being a local lad and he arrived when we were in the doldrums and people desperately needed a hero. That's why his lovers always dealt in intangibles and unquantifiable shite like 'presence', 'space created', 'effort made' and 'panic caused'. Hit them with hard stats like goals scored and assists and the stats were labelled 'junk' which failed to take account of the unquantifiable. He was awful to watch. An insult to football. And let's not forget we were assured that we wouldn't appreciate what we had until he was gone. Tell it to Bramall & Gigg Lane because I'm yet to feel any regret.

One of my favourite moments from Bargefeet was his first goal in his “complete” performance against Walsall. The way he brought the ball down, kicked it into his face, nearly tredding on the ball before scuffing a vicious thunderbastard passed the keeper was like poetry in motion. Best goal seen at VP. Kicking it into his own face was the last thing the Walsall defence would expect. It's genius.

The part where he kicked it into his own face drew audible cackling around me. God, by the end he was so bad it was pitiful. Parkinson was partly to blame for doping him up and shoving him out there but he was so limited as a footballer that when he started to fade (and he faded badly) it was like watching the already disabled family dog wheeze and hobble around knowing that the final call to the vet was drawing ever closer. We absolutely stuffed Sheff Utd when they gave us £200k+ for Hanson and it felt good to not be the violated party in a transfer dealing for once.

Anyway. For balance:
You're all h8torz who should have some respect for the best player we ever signed from Guiseley.
Obsessed...

Some bloke in the pub tried to tell me in the pub on Saturday that we miss Hanson. I just laughed in his face as I thought he was joking...he wasn’t!

I would say mine is in attempt to hide a double chin, it doesn’t, I’m just in denial about being a lazy cunt that can’t be arsed to shave.

It's still not his fault (from the Bury board):

13 appearances. 0 goals. 1 assist.
But he went for money so we were wrong.

But how many goals has he stopped with his presence from corners conceded? It's unfair to judge a striker on his goals or assist. #gomperfact

The panic he caused in the opposition bench by just warming up was worth twenty goals a season at least.

Wilder is a very good manager with great track record but imagine an interview with a potential new employer, "So Chris, what did you see in James Hanson?"
