One of those strange players who was derided when he first joined us, but over time won over the fans - I can't think of many players for CAFC who went from as much as a zero as he was to (I can't use the word hero for sportsmen I'm afraid) as well liked as he was
Saw him make his debut for us at Elland Road. Nothing special that day but turned out to be our player of the year two seasons running whilst at the club.
He was an absolutely brilliant player for us . He was the driving inspirational central midfielder , a fiercesome competitor . He was probably the biggest single reason we got promoted that year . He even scored at Carlisle away which was our last game and we were 2-0 down at the time .
“I would only worry about the people who know me, who are close to me and who have spent time with me. If they thought I was a w***** then I would worry. When somebody who was never met me or spoke to me says I'm a w***** it just goes over my head now.”
In which case, he won't mind me saying it - Aizlewood's a wanker.
Totally brilliant inspirational player for us - just what we lack now, a proper leader on the pitch would drag the current team up this league on his own
Good article that, thanks for posting. I hope he's turned his life around as the article makes it sound. Although I am personally skeptical because I think that basic desire to con innocent people must have come from somewhere, if he genuinely has changed, I wish him well. Thought it was really interesting though what he said about people for whom prison offers the best life they could have; doesn't sound like it's going to be much of a disincentive to them. It's something we ought to be thinking about as a society, not sure what the answer is though.
That’s a fantastic piece of journalism, Aizlewood committed a crime and paid the price he had to pay but his actions since then have been inspirational.

Oh, to have one or two like him at the back now.
Glad to see he is on the up again, also interesting that he regards his time with us as the happiest during his career.
