Am I correct in thinking Ricksen had has best spell with us when pushed into midfield or is my memory playing tricks on me? 

No your mind isnt playing tricks. Fernando was also playing for a new contract too. He was outstanding for a few months

Overall i preferred him as i right back but he did have a good run in the midfield. The thing that played against him in some games was the other midfielders werent good enough or they were also guys out of position, this was in Mcleish era. Big Bert Konterman played as a holding midfielder and we had Mlandovic and Stephen Hughes. 

 

But Fernando put up one hell of a fight in the past few years against this illness and im sure he will get a massive tribute tonight. Im glad its dutch opponents, its fitting.

The minutes silence was impeccable from both sets of fans but the ref was a bit unthoughtful when he waved play to start whilst both teams were joining in with the minutes applause in the 2nd minute as the ball was out of play but fair play to the Feyenord players for their gesture.
