Following on from the McGoldrick-inspired thread of Didzy talking about the modern game and its lack of flair players to get you off your seat, how about your Town "flair" eleven of players you have seen?
Players should be roughly in position i.e. no Didzy at centre-half etc. Most on here won't have seen Ken Hancock, but he was the most eccentric keeper I've seen for Town. Such a team might be capable of amazing feats of both triumph and comic tragedy. Danny Hegan would be my number 1 pick, but again, he was too long ago for most
The addition of Darren Currie is genius on 20:08 - Mar 27 by TWTV_Admin
Is he one of the most gifted players we’ve seen put on a town shirt? Well in terms of close control!!
BUT, and it’s a huge but, he was so slow and lacking agility that he used much of his obvious skills to compensate for his lack of pace.
He was good to watch though. The highlights vid below doesn’t have many goals! But the close control and movement is a joy:
Thing is pace is not skill and players who can run fast dont always have footballing skills. Bayern Jackson being an example. K. Dyer wasn't oarticulatky fast, but he had skill. I suppose the question is, do we prefer to watch break-neck speed on the pitch, or players who can " bend it like Beckham" .
