Interesting description of Gladwin from a Swindon fan!
"Ben Gladwin - I guarantee he'll be one of the oddest footballers you've ever seen.
He's sort of a Frankenstein's monster, who looks like he's been made up of the parts of lots of different footballers that shouldn't go together.
-physique of a centre half, and can spray a ball around from deep like Glenn Hoddle, yet plays best as a winger.
-Tall and strong, yet wins next to nothing in the air and hardly ever makes a tackle.
Incredibly languid style, moves like a container ship at times; but will breeze past players with a step-over and a touch as if they weren't there, and probably the most skilful player in our team.
- Consistently superb one half, giving the opposition fullback nightmares; then completely anonymous the next.
- Has the air of a luxury player; but probably made more crucial contributions than anyone else in our team in the run-in.
Basically he's very difficult to categorise, as he's such a mass of contradictions and odd combinations of attributes.
Definitely a player that will excite fans when he's on the ball, as you never quite know what he's going to do, though will also frustrate at times, and will need plenty of patience. His rise has been so sudden, it's difficult to predict how his future will pan out, though I wish him all the best ."
