If anything good has come from this it involves Adam Johnson.
He had begun to be a little big headed this season at Man City, his performances had dropped and he'd been in trouble for being unprofessional off the field. Since Dale's passing Johnson has been outstanding, and his conduct has been impeccable.
Adam Johnson has strived to hit the levels of professionalism Dale achieved naturally and it can do nothing but good for his career.
Thanks to that, if he keeps it up, as far as I'm concerned he's welcome at Nene Park whenever. Because Dale would be proud.
