Smith's departure cut deeper than those of Cantona and Charles put together. Why? Because Smith was big on badge-kissing and had said he would stay with the club if they went down. Cheap talk. He jumped quickly and then justified moving to Leeds' most detested rivals by saying they were not technically a rival because they were not in the same division, and that one day in the future he would come back. When Leeds were playing at a level to suit him of course. Sod off, you over-rated pipsqueak.
