Whereas now, you know, I don't know how they're working because Rushie worked really hard, but I think it was easy for him because he used to get the ball off the keeper and he would just dribble the ball out.
it'd probably be harder for him now to dribble the ball out.
So, swings and roundabouts.
It was hard for him physically because Alan didn't like the physical and you were allowed to get a broken nose and stuff.
But in possession, as much as they're working hard, Alan would play one-twos out from the back.
Was he a big leader in the dressing room, Alan Hansen?
Alan Hansen was a leader on the pitch.
He never said a word in the dressing room.

Very quiet.
Never said a word.

You didn't have, you know, at Liverpool it was more about the team and leaders in the team rather than

That's what Tony would do.
Yeah, but, I mean... That's clever, isn't it?
