Amazing to think how colossal he was and was probably only at 70% max of his potential (through his well documented issues). He was THAT good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 I think Pauls greatest asset was reading the game. It makes up for so many other attributes and while players today would test him athletically.....his reading, would have him in good stead. It's difficult to compare era's in terms of Atleticism.....you can only play against those you have to.....it's the same in any sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Remember watching that game so vividly as a 9 year old and being in awe of the great man. I sometimes worry that Villa have forgotten about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
