Every game he played for England he did fuck all wrong. In fact I don't think he ever had a shit performance.
Yet he was fucked about.
He could put the ball on a sixpence anywhere on the park.
Who was it that said that he would volley the ball into a circle on the wall in training with left and right foot alternatively for donkeys.
The man had hands as feet. Was the first player I saw that put spin on the ball when passing. Players never had to break stride. I remember being at Villa Park v LCFC in the semi final in the Holte end.
The way he curled this pass with the outside of his foot, bent it around defenders, and put spin on it so it stopped perfectly. I was amazed.
I also saw him make his debut at WHL, I was a kid and I, and about everyone else, could see he was something special.
Lucky enough to see his best moments.
He was also better than Liam Brady.
I used to base by game on him. He became by football idol. I loved his passing ability. Even as far as the long tongued boots.
My bird, well she loved his legs, idiot.
