Glen hoddle was asked about his career and the interviewer said " you were often described as some what of a luxury player, what do you think of that? "
Hoddle replied " well i never gave the ball away players that give the ball away are what i would describe as luxury"...could not agree more.
In my ignorance, I used to call Allott lazy - he was so paranoid about giving the ball away that he used to give it to the man outside him far too early, when he could have run 10 yards with it to commit the fullback, before passing. As a result, the fullback never had to worry about a 2 v 1 overload.
