Man has wildly successful, record-breaking playing career at club after being considered a bit average when he turned up, wins trophies/doubles leaves to a standing ovation, years later (with the club not having won any silverware since his departure) has statue erected outside club then finally returns and scores on first game, celebrating with a hug for the manager that made him who he was?
Yeah, boring.
Football has a strange habit of blinding people to fun; it's a nice story. If Beckham went back and dug Man Utd out of a hole by scoring a freekick it'd be just as romantic.
I could appreciate that if it was in say, a cup final, you haven't won anything since he left, comes back, wins you a cup.
Not vs Leeds in the FA Cup 3rd round.
I'm all about the romance in football. Darren Carter, Birmingham born blues fan, had a season ticket right up to the season before, steps up and scores the winning penalty in sudden death to put Birmingham into the Premier League for the first time. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up just remembering that moment.

Good attempt to put it in context, but Le God retired at exactly the right moment and every Saints fan knows & appreciates that
