Snodgrass won the Barry Butler Memorial Trophy last season (he was runner-up the season before) and became the latest player to leave Carrow Road after winning the award, following the likes of Andy Marshall, Lee Croft, Spencer Prior and Jon Newsome. However leaving Carrow Road after being the player of the season didn't really work out for many of these players and Sebastien Bassong hasn't been the same since he won it either. It's a bit of a jinx.

To be honest, picking the best performer from a shambolic campaign such as last season doesn't mean they played consistently well and Snodgrass certainly did not. In fact the Glaswegian didn't score his first goal of the season until the 3-1 home win against West Ham (9/11/14). It could be argued that Snodgrass actually won the award by default because many fans deliberately sabotaged the voting system by voting for third choice goalkeeper Carlo Nash who didn't play a single game for the Canaries and Luciano Becchio who hardly played either. Actually it was a bit of a shock that Snoddy won the award considering his altercations with Norwich City supporters on at least two occasions last season, most notably the home draw against Newcastle United (28/1/14) when Snoddy told a supporter to "f*** off". The supporter apparently shouted "Can't you beat the first man?" when one of the Scotsman's corners was easily cleared. The reaction of Snodgrass was disappointing to say the least and you can understand why the Carrow Road faithful began chanting for Nathan Redmond, who was one of the Norwich substitutes. Thankfully Snodgrass applauded the City fans at the end of the game and they were chanting his name but you always got the feeling that his stay at Carrow Road would be brief, even if we had stayed up.

There were always rumours in the tabloids linking Snoddy to Celtic where he was offered an apprenticeship when he was young. He chose to sign for Livingston because he felt he had little chance of breaking through at Parkhead. Snoddy was involved in another argument with Norwich fans after the home defeat by former City manager Paul Lambert's Aston Villa (21/9/13). Following the game Snodgrass used Twitter to respond to criticism from the City fans that the team lacked passion. "Have you seen the game?" asked Snodgrass. Yes Robert, I was at the game and we didn't show any grit or determination at all. It wasn't particularly enjoyable seeing our ex-manager putting one over on us yet again. It didn't help when you missed a penalty after six minutes, especially when you weren't supposed to take it! When he signed for Hull Snodgrass went on about passion again. "That's what fans want to see, someone with passion", he said. I'm not sure moaning a lot can be described as "passion" Robert.

Basically Snodgrass at times really got up our noses. He was quite good in dead ball situations, indeed most of his 14 goals for the club came from free-kicks. I was never keen on him playing on the right, even though he was left-footed. Surely the opposing defence is put under more pressure when the ball is cut back from the byline? To his credit rookie boss Neil Adams did try and switch Snodgrass to the left during his caretaker stint. There were many occasions when he tried to be the hero and take too many men on, in other words he was a greedy so and so. Another aspect of his game that annoyed me was his whingeing. How many times did he stay on the ground moaning when he didn't get a free-kick when he should have been tracking back? He did like falling to the ground!

Snodgrass was a revelation at Leeds United where he scored 41 goals in 194 appearances (including 26 as sub) but he was never consistent enough for Norwich. Neil Adams clearly wasn't that bothered when Snodgrass was sold. Was the Scot too opinionated in the dressing room? Adams obviously realises that he has plenty of options in wide positions with the likes of Redmond (if he stays), the Murphy twins and the fit again Elliott Bennett.

A move to Hull City isn't that much of an improvement on playing for us, surely? Therefore Snodgrass's move to the KC Stadium was probably motivated by a chance to work with Steve Bruce and a bigger salary. Okay, they're playing in the Europa League this season but they only finished a couple of places above us last season and will find it difficult balancing playing in Europe and staying in the Premier League. There's too many games in the Europa League (it nearly backfired on Swansea last season) and most of Europe's big clubs are playing in the more glamorous Champions League. If the Tigers do go down will Snodgrass be on the move again?
