I think in every game i've been to, i've seen shirts with every name on, but not Finnan. I've heard songs sung about everyone, but not Finnan. This guy has consistantly served us at right back for such a long time now i find it hard to believe he is so unsung. Just because he doesn't score goals, and goes about his job in a subtle and honest hard-working way, people completely overlook him!
I think this guy deserves massive praise. People forget all to easily that while we can rotate everywhere on the pitch, Finnan can rarely be left out as he is really our only natural right back. He does his job so well and always seems to be fit and ready to give 100% to the cause. The guy is even a champions league winner, seeing him in the winners photo almost makes you think "oh yeah, he was there too".
Finnan has become so much a part of the furniture that people seem to take him for granted. I think we should do more to express our appreciation for the services he has given us. Maybe some of you songwriters out there could whip something up?
Let's show this guy our appreciation in the next match, let him know he is as important to us as any of the "big names".
YNWA Steve!
