Rocky got a bad press but he was made scapegoat for the mistakes of others quite often (certainly the lack of pace in players such as Mark Roberts/Michael Welch). I remember after the betting charges were made he played left back for the rest of that season due to injuries to King & Richardson. He played very well, on one occasion keeping Dany N'Guessan quiet for a whole game just before he was signed by Leicester. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have Rocky back if you paid me, and he isn't a tenth of the defender Phil Edwards is, but he certainly wasn't as bad as his press made out. And he looked like Jodie Marsh.
