However, the stats don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lie and the overwhelming winner of the award this week was Albion\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s greatest ever centre back [excluding cup games, double headers, and games where Bill hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t played] Simon Abbott.<\/p>\n<p>And to the Henri Leconte award. The Slaternator picked up a vote for impersonating John Terry and heading the ball whilst seemingly lying on the pitch. In second place was the Gaffer for his navigating skills. Squad members returning from the game taken on an apparent \u00e2\u20ac\u0153short cut\u00e2\u20ac\u009d down a series of South London backstreets only to emerge back onto the main road they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d turned off 20 yards from where they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d left it. Oddly there was a vote for the navigation skills of Dave \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a passenger in said vehicle. Clearly, that vote was not from the gaffer trying to distract attention from his own shocking skills.<\/p>\n<p>However, the clear winner this week was Barny who turned up looking like a camp hiker. Wearing a peculiar outfit consisting of rain jacket, jeans tucked into his socks, sunglasses and heavy duty chastity belt, the Barn-dog proceeded to get himself involved in some verbal handbags with the opposition. Ordered to return to the other side of the pitch by the referee some of the opposition subs took umbrage at Barnes&#8217; sauntering stroll to the Albion half and\u00c2\u00a0 questioned whether Barnywas in fact going back round. Barny cemented this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Henri Leconte by summoning the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YuAVP08yDKg&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">spirit of Dustin Hoffmann in Midnight Cowboy<\/a> and dismissing his critics with the line: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m walkin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m walkin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only three players received nominations for man of the match this week.
