Will always be 'God' in my eyes. How many would he score in our current side?
I loved watchin Edwards but for me there's only ONE BLADE GOD,and that's TC end of.Keith's always on abart bein captain of his golf club when he does his "expert" job wi Radio Sheff.He wudda loved some of them crosses that Enda and the Magic hat put into the box but my word Tufty wudda made him work harder than he did when he was playin.UTCB
Agree with the ONE GOD, obviously TC and who else but I remember growing up on my estate and us having a 45 per side kick about after the pub shut on a Sunday afternoon and fuelled by watching Sunday Soccer at 2-00pm with expert commentary from Keith Macklin!.
I modelled myself (Or tried to) on "The Cigar Man" as my old boss used to call him, loved to try and emulate the movement when Edwards would have his back to goal and the defender right up his a.., when the ball would go into his feet then he would feint one way and then flick the ball the other before "running on" to the ball.
All Edwards watchers will know what I mean and I will never forget the "Pele" esk dummy against Peterbrough when he scored and waved to the kop as he performed the dummy,
On laziness at least keith was honest here, One old blade pal of mine said that he used to often see Keith, Macphail, and Kenworthy in the Royal Oak on a Thursday night and if anything "kicked off" it would usually be big John Macphail on the front line.
Keith used to admit his laziness publicly but also used to say that his name was first on the team sheet, He also reportedly said that he used to jog up and down on the spot during games to keep himself warm.
An example of this was when we played Wigan in a night match back in the 4th division days, Big Larry Lloyd - Ex Liverpool was marking Keith that night and poor old Keith doid not have a kick all night, that was until the 87th minute when he left big Larry asleep and slotted in the winner,
Keith Edwards is magic... Na-na-na-na....
Halcyon days Blockers. Colin crazy legs Morris jinking down the right wing, crossing it in for king Keef to slot another one in. Billy does unbelievably well to score as many as he does, given amount of work he does for the team outside the box. Hopefully back soon and scoring, then securing legend status.
Remember his 4 against Gillingham (i think opening game of the season) at the Lane in the early 80's
