Will be turning 36 on Saturday
Left for Palace as Bilic wouldn’t guarantee him a start
Always thought that was a mistake on his part

I was looking at his stats just recently, spent about the same length of time with us (as a first team player) and Palace, but hardly played for them, so probably just happy picking up his money. Suspect he is worth a few mil in retirement.

Anyone wished him luck yet?

Wasn't there a story going about before he left that he was told to change his agent if he wanted a new deal ?

I might have the wrong player but thought it was Tomkins

A decent prospect but somewhat injury prone and his career never really hit the heights it could have.

One of our academy products, so wish him well.

 What was that argy bargy all about?
 
That was the FA Cup game v Everton - the one where Adrian scored in the penalty shoot out. There was a defensive mix up and it all kicked off. Apparently they were mates and next door neighbours, as well. Tomkins left the following season and i was shocked as he seemed to be west ham through and through.

Hardly went on to have the most stellar career, did he.

Never really a first-choice CB for Palace.
