Criticise Feeney's ability all you like (I thought he was alright, link up play and passing superb), but he was a great club servant, here throughout the months of no pay and possibly the hardest worker I've ever seen play for us, top guy.
Agreed I liked him, he made a nuisance of himself in the area and as you say his link up play was very good. I would have to liked to have seen him play alongside a natural goalscorer. Playing him either up front on his own creating space for imaginary strikers or alongside Chadders who was a target man himself, also looking to support a goalscorer rather than score himself was never going to work in all honesty.
Of course he wasn't a world beater but what were we expecting for our money (or lack of it) back when Peter Reid was scraping together a team on the promise that they might be paid at some point? Hard worker, team player and a top bloke; that was exactly what we were after that summer, he came in and did the job. Its not his fault the club didn't have the money to find the goalscorer for him to support.
