charliewag   19 #10 Posted June 6, 2017 Cheick Tiote will be fondly remembered by the toon army for the only goal he scored during his time there. It was a 30 yard volley in the last minute, resulting in a 4-4 draw against Arsenal who led 4-0 at half time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
