'Geordie' was an orthodox winger whose work-rate was so prodigious that was both an auxiliary defender, tirelessly tracking back and regaining possession, and one of the most prolific providers of 'assists' in the game. Assists were not formally recorded in his era, but it has been calculated that he played a part in more than half of Arsenal's goals during their 1970-71 'Double' triumph. Equally effective on either wing, his perpetual motion made him tough to mark for opposing defenders, and his willingness to fight for the cause often frustrated opponents' attempts to build attacks of their own in his vicinity. He had impressive ball skills and punishing pace, but his greatest asset was an ability to cross the ball at speed with consistent accuracy to his intended target - more often than not John Radford, Ray Kennedy or George Graham. He also notched up 68 goals of his own in an Arsenal career spanning 621 appearances. He later returned to Arsenal in a coaching role, managing the reserve team. He collapsed and died on the training pitch in the autumn of 2000 from a brain haemorrhage, but remains one of the true greats in Arsenal's history. _________________ GoonerLover66 wrote: PMC wrote: I know that Gooner, S-Jsomething and somebody else don't like me but pls play fair :( That's news to me, I've always liked you.
