Ade gone.

By: Matt | April 3rd, 2009

Today, it was confirmed that Ade Akinbiyi has left Burnley to leave for American side Huston Dynamo.

The 34 year old trained with the rest of the Burnley squad for the last time on Thursday before joining the Major League Soccer outfit on a 2 year deal.

He has made a big impact on the Claret fans making over 100 appearances in a Claret and Blue shirt in his two spells at Turf Moor. His most memorable moment was probably his equalizer against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge where we went on to win 5-4 on penalties. The first giant killing of the season.

The Nigerian resigned from Sheffield United in 2007, but failed to make an impact because he was in the weights room to much at Bramall Lane. He stayed a fan favorite because of his hard effort and heart.

Ade was the top scorer for Burnley in the 2005/2006 season scoring 12 goals. He is also the second top scorer, who was still at the club at January 2009, with 26 goals in 109 games.

He has played for 14 teams in his 16 year career, making over £16million in transfer fees.

I want to wish Ade all the luck in America and I hope his career can last a few more seasons.

ADE ADE ADE!

    Well, these are interesting thoughts. I think they are true. However, everything is
    relative and ambiguous to my mind.
