Big Al carried Blackburn to a premiership title on his back.
You forget to mention that Blackburn also had in their ranks the most expensive footballer in English football at the time, Chris Sutton who chipped in with 15 goals and add to Big Al's tally of 34.
Tim Sherwood, David Batty, Graeme L Saux, Paul Warhurst, Henning Berg, Jason Wilcox, Mike Newell, that bollocks Kevin Gallagher and even superstar himself David May also contributed to that title winning season.
If i remember correctly they finished second the previous year.
Fine player and a fine servant to the game, i can only ponder what it would have been like to see himself and Roy play in the same United team and can only imagine how much more successful they could have been with him.
He was offered terms by United but turned them down. I remember that Roy turned Blackburn down the previous season.(When Kenny was furious that Roy had changed his mind and decided on United)
All in all both players would be a major assett to any team in the world in their prime.
Oh and say what you will about Traore, Kleberson has a world cup winners medal.
