Just brilliant.
Look at the size of him.
I know, yeah.
You know?
He was a man already then, wasn't he?
You can tell.
I think you're right because you always hear the hype about these 14, 15, 16, 17-year-old youngsters who are coming through the academy and they're being brilliant and they're
been great in the reserves or youth team or whatever it may be.
And then very rarely do you still talk about them being amazing 10 years later.
Very rarely.
But on this occasion with him, it's like, oh my, what a player.
He was lacking confidence at 16 then as well.
Was it Clive Tilsley?
I think that goal at 16 sort of summed him up at 30 as well.
Even just the arrogance, obviously the ability, the strength and the ability to just do what he wanted to do.
And I think that at 16 was amazing.
And he carried that on all his career.
I was about 15 yards behind it.
My initial was like, what on earth is the goalkeeper even diving for that for?
Because it was one of those where I just know what's happening here.
