Have to agree with you. Bothroyd could be magical with the ball at his feet and he'd scare the hell out of defenders when running at them. He certainly wasn't a good header of a ball though but that was his only real weakness.
Both/Chops/Burkey up front was as good a City forward line as I'd seen since the Toshack era and it is hard to believe even now that we couldn't quite do enough to get us promoted.
