Definitely one of the most skillful, along with the likes of Ginola and HBA. But none of the above 3 could ever be described as best, cos they were all so lazy, selfish and arrogant. What did Robert do after he left us? Apart from taking his clothes off.
Handful? Better than Robert Jackie Milburn Len White Tony Green Malcolm MacDonald Terry MacDermot Jimmy Smith Peter Beardsley Chris Waddle Kevin Keegan Paul Gascoigne David Ginola Les Ferdinand Alan Shearer To name but a few without any great effort and more than a handful all better than Bob
To say he was one of the best that would be fair but debatable. I was taking issue with the “handful” part of the comment.
13 you've named and some are not as good , but were good in their time period .. the standards are always progressing in all sports. I will have to stick to my guns on this one . I don't think we've had many players on that level,but we've also has a handful that were better of course.
What? He hasn't even mentioned the likes of Lee, Speed, Peacock or Haidara. Robert isn't even the best left winger we've ever had.
