Look at the way his first touch always puts the ball exactly where he wants it and ready to strike.
I'd forgotten how good his left foot was. Some fantastic hits for what I consider a right footer.
Rumour has it he used to practice those tight turns inside a broom cupboard.
I think it's the way he hits the ball - clean and hard every time. The goalkeepers don't get near them.
So much easier back then, defenders were loads slower. I'd like to see him up against Phil Jones or Shkodran Mustafi to see where he really stands in the list of great strikers, I suspect much further down
I wonder how we would have faired in these days if one striker up front. Very different role to the one he played all his career. I thought Earnie was a victim of the trend to go one up top too.
Unbelievable tekkers. How we could do with him in the Wales team.
Besides his running off the ball, he did a lot of tracking back and tackling. He was a hard-working player.

First line of defence, he defended from the front, hell of a workhorse.
