Great player but certainly not the most naturally gifted - a grafter yes and superb passer of the ball.
I think we have all fallen for S&D's big wind up though- no body is that much of a football ignoramous surely!
James Milner was completely in jest
Puttimng "Naturally gifted" and "English players" in the same sentence without the words very few is a difficult task
Joe Mercer achieved it with a Golden generation in the early seventies ...Hudson Currie Marsh Worthington etc etc
The likes of Hoddle Gascoigne etc etc were few and far between... I cant think of too many in your last 10 years ....And yes Delle Ali I am ignoring you
Ravel Morrison SHOULD have had the world at his feet ...SAF saw through him
THEY FLY SO HIGH , NEARLY REACH THE SKY , AND LIKE MY DREAMS THEY FADE AND DIE
