Patrice Evra is leaving West Ham, as his £75k per week contract is sadly not being renewed. So how will West Ham fans remember him? With fondness? Err, not quite...
"Another in a long line of useless players that is well past it and completely rinsed the club. He stole a living whilst playing for us."
"Goodbye Patrice. You done absolutely nothing at this club and just act like a plonker on Twitter."
"(Formerly) a huge name in football. Joined for one last hooray. Did nothing of note. File under Davor Suker."
And my particular favourite
"Made more money in twelve weeks using Instagram and repeatedly shouting four words than most of us will make in a lifetime. Let that sink in."
However, I think it's unfair to say that Evra did nothing. He did notch up one special achievement which, I believe, deserves recognition on these pages and causes me a pang of grief that he won't be there next season, namely:
"Apparently every game that he started for us, we lost 4-1"
Well worth the million or so they spent on his wages. Au revoir, Patrice, and thanks for your efforts. Much appreciated.
