Played his first 209 first team games for us. Today he played his 600th first team game.

Well done big man.

Lingy in May 2008:- There has always been lots of talk about the lad's potential, but maybe we've started to go around the houses for too long now. So I think the time is right for myself, the club and the player to move on now. It was probably the hardest decision I've had to make because I have had him since he was a youngster in the youth team."

Massive well done.

Would easily take him over both Alabi and Harold.

Absolutely. Anyway , that's a great achievement for him.

209 appearances and 36 goals. 125 Windows SMASHED in the Greater Leyton area.

36 goals from 115 starts ain’t bad.

Yep. Agree with what Ling said at the time but the change has done him good.

Much as we loved him, it has to be said that he wasn't really a team player while with us.

Of his 600 appearances, 200 have been as a substitute.

97 of his appearances for us were as a sub. Has anyone else appeared for us so often as a Substitute?

97 app. as a sub for one club must be some kind of world record!

I thought that Batt and Tehoue were close, but they we both on 50+. Matt Harrold has already 40 app. for us as a sub. He could be getting close this season.

And of his 400 appearances, he probably got subbed a fair few times too
