Cardiff City boss Dave Jones has also been caught up in the jovial euphoria surrounding the performances of previously hapless striker Eddie Johnson after his fantastic efforts this week were crowned by a richly deserved - and quality - debut first goal in Britain crowning City's 3-0 demolition of Doncaster Rovers yesterday.Talking to assorted media, Jonesy joked how Eddie could soon become the first Prime Minister for South Wales if he carries on like this and that he's sure City fans are already printing their "I was there" t-shirt after seeing Eddie score yesterday. He's not wrong either!
Jones added, "his goal was well deserved as he has been superb, he works his socks off and everyone is delighted for him as he was superb for us on Tuesday and when he replaced Jay Bothroyd for us against Doncaster, he carried on that form."
Eddie has set himself the highest standards for this week and, finally - at long bloody last - is being talked about for the quality of his football rather than what were previously comedic attempts at it in the eyes of seasoned Cardiff observers.
Many - myself included to be honest - had written him off and regarded him as a disastrous expensive flop but he's now answering critics in the best possible way and long may it continue.
Last word to Dave Jones, "He is an honest lad and works hard. He has shown his quality in front of goal plenty of times in training and now we're pleased he has done it on the pitch. I was glad he did it in front of our own fans as they appreciate hard-workers and the applause he got couldn't be more deserved."
EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE!!!
