Source context
When you think of Micky van de Ven, what immediately springs to mind? That driving run and assist for Brennan Johnson at Old Trafford? The storming past Thomas Frank after a cowardly home defeat to Chelsea? How about the goal-line clearance in Bilbao? We seemingly have a distinct image of our captain at the start of his fourth season in Lilywhite. We know exactly what he's about, and the type of defender he is. It's fair to say that Van de Ven wasn't particularly fond of Frank, despite the Dane helping out his scoring tally.
