Im not denying the standards are probably higher. Wheres you Bobby george, your jockey on the ockey etc?
just watching those goals from Robert when was the last time we had someone who could shoot like that, apart from Robert Shearer ?
Loads of characters in the game now - PDC darts anyway - Taylor, MVG, Barney, Peter Wright, Gary Anderson. And the standard is through the roof now. In the eighties 3 darts averages were probably about 85 or 90 in a good performance, whereas you have players hitting 105 or 110 averages regularly these days. World Championships coming next month then the Premier League starts in Feb I think. Can't wait!
In my opinion robert was a very very underated player. Ok he didn't help out much at the back but we did well in all honesty in those days.
Two words - Gary Speed When you have him doing the donkey work with that kind of tactical awareness and footballing brain, others look brilliant.
