Was always a big fan of him giving away free kicks on the edge of our box in injury time when we had a slender lead.
We were never going to do that though. He wasn't as bad as his biggest detractors made out IMO, but he got so many games for us only because we were in a poor state, not for any other reason. Still, there was never a question about his attitude and I certainly hope his health improves.
Great servant. If every player applied his attitude we’d be unstoppable.

Thanks for that goal against Havant & Waterlooville and the decent showing against Ya Ya Toure.

"He's an exciting player of a type that Brazilian football hasn't produced too many of recently. Of late their central midfielders have tended to be 'holders' who sit and allow the full-backs to push forward.
Lucas is different. He's a big, blonde figure whose power and physical strength comes with attacking ability.
He can pass well and loves to rumble forward. He gets on the scoresheet both with blistering shots from range and from bursting beyond the strikers."

Thus ended Tim Vickery's journalist reputation.

My personal Lucas highlight is definitely that gif with a Blackburn player (Nzonzi I think?). Sums him up perfectly
No your understanding is incomplete, "that heart thing" ended not just his playing days, but most likely also his coaching days, his high altitude days, any uphill walks days, skiing days, kicking a ball about with his kids in the garden days, his gym days, his any and all strenuous physical activity days. That would explain his tears.
Was never that fond of him as a player but a really great person and a true Red. Wish him nothing but the best in retirement.
Averaging 35 games a season for 10 years with a big lay off thrown in across four managers is impressive anyway you slice it.
[article]He made 18 appearances upon his return, but [bcolor=rgb(253, 251, 248)]stepped away from training[/bcolor] after club doctors detected an inflammation of the heart’s myocardium muscle at the end of last year.
He has now been diagnosed with scarring in the myocardium, which was announced by the team’s doctor at an emotional farewell.[/article]

Pretty sure it was barbecues
Mary had a little pig
She kept it fat and plastered
And when she had a barbeque
She shot the little b@stard
