Brooking
Best goal! Plus it shows a little shimmy from Dev to get past Talbot to the line and cross the ball!

Re: Brooking/Brady/Hoddle
Brooking didn't have great pace off the ball, but his ball control was so naturally a part of his stride that I think he was comparatively quite quick on the ball. And for me, I get the RVP comparison but imo Brady was a far more hard nosed player than RVP. He had a slight build, but he could get stuck in. Not so RVP. In that sense, I get the Scholes comparison someone made (although Scholes can't actually tackle).rare as rockinghorse shat wrote:Not how they performed, or position, but simply the style of player.
Veron/Hoddle being a tall, elegant player with a brilliant long and short passing ability, brilliantly 2 footed, without too much speed, but not needing to rely on it.
Brooking/Riquelme - good and strong on the ball, 2 footed, not great in the air, doing the simple things well, not possessing or needing too much intricate skill, not overly pacey
Van Persie/Brady - more one footed, more direct, hard shot, a lot of craft and vision, bit more pace, bit more skill, more intricate than the other 2.
