What a thoroughly good bloke (as Tim-Nice-But-Dim might say)I’m a little biased, as he is/was my daughter’s favourite player. I was really pleased he got such a warm reception from our fans. The way he reacted to his goal was ‘keep away, I don’t want to celebrate’. Lovely to see.Well done Alfie May!
As Wellens says in his interview, we should n’t be clapping ex players onto the pitch and chanting their names giving them a confidence boos

The whole not scoring against your old team thing is one of the worst things in football. Absolute load of b*llocks.
Not celebrating is a weird one I don't really like it tbh. You can show respect but still celebrate with your team mates. Going mental would be in bad taste but there's an in-between. It's become a way of showing respect though so it's now seen as celebrating is disrespecting the old club by some. Also easier when there's a few hundred away fans. Try doing that in a full houseWellens is wrong too. We get too many mercenaries come and go every year it's just the way this industry is. So when you get players who the fans remember fondly long after leaving it's pretty special. Especially when they also seem to have a lot of love for the club.

Appears to me that there’s a great gap in personality’s between Alfie and Wellens. Keep going Alfie having met you you’re a great bloke and a great asset to the game.

Keep going Alfie having met you you’re a great bloke and a great asset to the game.I’ve no doubts he’s a great bloke, but for 98 minutes he’s playing for the opposition, trying to score against us, we should n’t be geeing him up by clapping him on to the pitch and chanting his name, save that for afterwards, I don’t get our fans hankering for former players, concentrate more on our present players
