No.
Buddy, you've touched on Gordon.
Gordon couldn't tackle a face-up as we usually do.
And Gordon was... Sometimes Gordon was an absolute disaster for us when he tried to get back, you know, and then we wanted him in the final third because as a winger and the goals he scored...
at the wing.
It was absolutely second to none.
But Stevie had that knack, as you said.
His work rate was absolutely unbelievable.
And the blend with that on the right side and with Hilly on the left side, the goals he used to get, was just unbelievable.
You couldn't really predict that
Paddy, that was going to happen for them, too, to do what they did in that side.
You know, the work rate, Stevie got the odd goal, he created a lot, where Hilly, you know, did both in the final third, created and scored a number of goals, which was fantastic.
I don't think, Paddy, if you think about it, and you've watched football the way Wayne's watched football for years and years and years, in that era, I don't think there was another right-sided player who did what Koppel did.
You know, you're talking about right-sided players or wingers.
Their job was, and you touched on there, to get to the byline, to beat your foot back, get the ball into the box and let the people find their, the strikers find your cross or whatever.
They, what Koppel did,
brought a new dimension to us, but with his work rate, helping the right back out, helping midfield players out.
And that's just the way he was.
I don't actually think, and I mean this, I don't actually think Tommy Dufferty said to him, hey, you've got the track back, you've got to do this, you've got the help, whatever.
He did that naturally, Stevie Campbell.
