    I always thought that AS , even though he was a demon striker in his ‘era’, would have fared even better if his era had been say 1 or 2 decades earlier. Having said that, as Dougie alludes to, 2 to 4 decades earlier an forget it.
    His physical stature would not have held up against the muscle ‘employed’ those days. 😳
    Duncan Ferguson is / was another.

    A different game. I wonder if there were more broken legs. The slide tackle, the late tackle and the tackle from behind were pretty standard, and that's not to mention the use of the elbow or the "legitimate" shoulder-charge.
    I think we could do with Mike England now. (I wouldn't even mind John McNamee, as long as he wasn't expected to pass!)

    Here’s another Birmingham/Blackpool striker link for you (an other oldies) ......Bob Hatton!
    I was at Pool when he inflicted serious ‘wounds’ on us. Not the muscle striker mentioned earlier, just knew where net was.
