i remember when curbs tried to flog him for £15 million and this place went in melt down, curbs quit a few days later.
me and croe were at loggerheads, I was with curbs to flog him and said i didn't fancy his injury record and thought he was going to struggle.
next game i was at a wedding in isle of wight and he was finished by the first half.
it was my fault. you can all blame me for that.

he'd no doubt have been tapped up by spurs or liverpool if he'd stayed healthy

Saw him score a 1st half hat-trick at Upton park in a charity game last year. Still looked miles better than Carlton Cole even though he was rather tubby

We'd be £8m better off and he'd be warming the bench at Chelsea/Utd/City

even when he came back and was tubby and immobile he still had the nack for scoring goals.
remember him scoring on his return v Roma and thinking everything was ok now he was fit again.

Very good player, but I agree with those who say he wasn't as good as many go on. Was a bit lazy as well.
Certainly wouldn't have been at Man United or anyone like that.

PD in talking shit shock!
We'd be pretty much where we are now I reckon, as we'd have sold him ages ago and wasted the money

He was a smashing footballer, one of the most complete forwards around. It broke my heart that he had to retire.

Considering that he wasn't anywhere near as good as some on here believe I doubt that we would be anywhere to boast about.

He would've joined spurs and fired them to league and European cup glory, we would boo his every touch.
Glad he got injured when he did tbh.

Reckon he could be very good on his day but one of those strikers that when he was shit was absolutely awful and looked fat.
Which isn't a bad thing for a footballer, it's actually quite funny.
Look at Andy Reid.
Fella has played pro footballer for years despite the fact he is clearly fucking overweight somehow!

I reckon we'd have won the Cup Final had he been fully fit, absolutely dominated both Hyppia and Carragher till he had to go off

Remember beating Crewe3-1 away and coming away talking about him,as he was only a teenager but had looked absolute class.
If he'd stayed fit he would probably have only stayed with us for another season before being snapped up by a bigger club, but always a shame seeing careers cut short.

I really liked Ashton, some lovely touches for a big man. Man City away especially.
However I didn't think he was THAT good, and I doubt he'd have ever played for Man Utd, let alone England regularly or Champions League football.
Seems a bit fantasy.
I do remember when he was booed for not jumping after the first injury he had at home to someone under Curbs though. And I remember Gradi saying he treated Ashton like a veteran and allowed him extra time off to recover because he had issues, especially on the hamstrings. He was a kid as well!
