Now I am just as fond of the iceman as you are. However I can't agree that the epithet "instinctive" could ever be applied to his goal scoring prowess. Was'nt the number of chances he fluffed the reason why all of us couldn't wait to be rid of him before he went to Watford on loan. Like so many of our best players he had to endure some hard barracking from us before he was accepted as being a very good player. Paul Furlong? Remember the abuse he got? In a much lighter vein, Terry Mancini the bald legend who used to dive to head the ball because it was more accurate than using his feet. Iceman = brilliant target man and all round header of the ball to bring team mates into play. Solid penalty taker as well. But instinctive goalscorer? Pardon me while I chuckle and choke on my tea.
Yes, Heidar was a nice lad and he definitely put in a shift most games. Instinctive scorer? Top Draw? Genuine prem class? .......sorry no. Compared to BZ? mmmmmmmh Effort HH Skill BZ (just) Teamwork HH Targetman/ knockdowns/control/ BZ annoying opponents Results (goals) HH (5 seasons out of 6)
