Very good read and credit to him really as you can understand where he's coming from
Almost feels as though his reluctance to sit on the bench at times has hindered his career, he always seemed to be a very good player especially at League One level yet you have to wonder if his desire to be playing over sitting around and being at a settled side is whats stopped him from being able to play at a higher level
Always thought he was a decent player. He's on the money when he says he thinks he left Charlton too young - if he'd stayed a couple more years I think he'd have had a better career. Still, 500 odd appearances and a full international isn't to be sniffed at.
Remember seeing him play 45 mins in a friendly against Welling and it was up there with one of the greatest individual performances I’ve ever seen. Shame he never really got a chance.
I remember him coming on as a substitute in the League Cup 4-4 draw after AET to set up our equalising goal for PDC in normal time to make it 3-3. Quite a live wire. A 19 year old Kevin Foley turned out for Luton that night too!
I'm pretty certain he's glad he didn't play in Stevenage's last checkatrade trophy game mind!</blockquote
Jamal is only interested in first-team football, so he wouldn't be interested in playing Under 11 kickabouts with jumpers for goalposts in the Checkatrade Trophy.
I was really excited about him when he was around the first team squad. Thought he was going to be a star. There was some buzz around him, but then it didn't seem to go anywhere. Strange one

Good interview
Ipswich fans singing, “Sign him up, sign him up, sign him up”.
He absolutely ran the Ipswich full back ragged and still marmalised their defence even when they doubled up on him.
