What type of player were/are you?

[Victor Meldrew]

For the older posters I always thought of myself as a kind of Jim Baxter (Scottish legend).
As a midfielder other similarities were Hoddle or a taller version of Xavi.
What about the rest of you?

[Broxroyal]

An Ivar Ingimarsson type player, though obviously not as good.
Coincidentally my son is the same type, although he never saw me play.

Claude Makelele

[roadrunner]

As a child I idolised 'Chopper' Harris. His tough tackling no nonsense style. There's no comparison in the game as it was in the 70's to the game we watch today.

[Stranded]

Decent shot stopper but my positioning was/is awful at times so Adam Federici.

[Zammo]

Gary Lineker. Give me the ball, and it was in the back of the net. Although, as I am always reminded by those I used to play with, I had a habit of 'straying offside' on numerous occassions (i.e. every single match).

You weren't around in the 70s Jay

I would liken myself to Paul Brooker, largely anonymous, rarely outpacing anyone but once in a while I'll pop up with the kind of assist like he did for Dean Morgan away at Cardiff in the last minute a few years ago.

I'm sure my contemporaries from FFF will back me up

Andres Iniesta

I think the question meant play like not look like

[LUX]

King of the Kentwood Methodist Church Youth Club midfield 1973-1977.

[Mr Angry]

I was like an older Bas Savage, but without the pace, first touch or silky skills.

^^Pippo Inzaghi then

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Alan Hansen

Loved to burst out of defence with the ball and always making up for the mistakes of other idiots at the back. can't say my medal haul reflects his though.

[Gordons Cumming]

A Steve Sidwell who couldn't tackle.

[Row Z Royal]

Brynjar Gunnarsson.

[FORSTERS_RIGHT_FOOT]

Brynjar Gunnarsson.

Me?

On a good day, a poor man's Jamie Cureton

On a bad day, a poor man's Paul Brayson

[From Despair To Where?]

As a youngster, a striker very much in the Robbie Fowler mode, could score for fun. As I got older, I evolved into a Stuart Pearce style scything left back but as I approach my middle age, Neville Southall is more my style if only for my wasteline, if not my goalkeeping ability,
