One of my friends played football against him growing up in Suffolk quite regularly and said he ran rings around everyone. I do remember the Fishy consensus on him was that he wasn't great at the time though. gary jones

He obviously had some ability and was an imposing physical specimen but was lacking a certain something. Reminds me of a lower-division Huddlestone, to tell the truth. Too much strolling, not enough running. It is possible to be a good ball player yet still get around the pitch well, working hard for your team.

On the other hand its possible to be a good classy footballer without 'putting a shift in' every game. gary jones

The ability to spot a pass and be thee or four moves in front of the oppo is usually the difference. When he was at town he was in possibly the worst town side ever and knew that unlike many of those misfits, lazy girl privates and couldn't give a shits he could do just enough and that he would only progress. Throw with this some good loan spells at a couple of other clubs and good coaching and surprise surprise the guy had turned out well. 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Most of the best midfielders around at present play for Barcelona. They are all incredibly skilful and classy but also work their mammaries off so it's no coincidence that they are so successful.
