He reminds me of Matt Le Tissier in the way he takes a good run up and hits it hard into the corners. Nothing fancy like.<br /><br />Le Tissier scored, I think, all but one of his 49 penalties.satishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343174718337393073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858389158764090793.post-19042985543348225292009-04-20T23:03:00.000+01:002009-04-20T23:03:00.000+01:00i always thought Mark Ward was the best i've seen ...i always thought Mark Ward was the best i've seen for us (in off the post) and keith curle the worst (2 feet in, 2 feet up - a la Cardiff?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858389158764090793.post-16628333826123330202009-04-20T21:28:00.000+01:002009-04-20T21:28:00.000+01:00Can't remember his missing one either Jack.

Francis Lee used to hit them so hard that even if the 'keeper got in the way it would just take him into the net with it. Very rarely missed and although I never actually saw him miss one, I'm not an anarak so couldnt swear to it.jackbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951778979137123898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858389158764090793.post-1614637794116006622009-04-20T10:45:00.000+01:002009-04-20T10:45:00.000+01:00Let's not forget about how accurate his free kicks...Let's not forget about how accurate his free kicks are too!
