Tommy Smith wasn't a bad footballer at all, he was just unfortunate enough to be involved during a dark era for the club. His solo season with the club was a relatively successful one in the Championship, though the entire club was still shell-shocked from their Premier League exit. Smith operated as a right winger or striker and bagged eight goals in all competitions, with four coming in the FA Cup run which led to a semi-final defeat against Millwall. He was a popular figure at the time, though he didn't stick around long enough to truly make a major impression and subsequently dropped out of fans' memories.
