IN his time at Palace, under Terry Venables, kenny had already gained a reputation as an attacking fullback who was equally at home in the opposition half of the field as he was in his own; happy to get forward in support of the midfield and front mean at any given moment and with the speed and awareness to get back to perform his defensive duties. Such was the impact Sansom made in his first season at Highbury that, by the end of it, he was voted the Club's player of the year by the supporters. The fans had been greatly impressed by his all-round ability - even in the air. At 5ft 8in he was by no means the tallest, but he won more than his fair share of aerials duels although he was noted for his near faultless first touch, his intelligent use of the ball and his unselfish support play. He wasn't a defender who favoured the lunging tackle, preferring instead to jockey his opponent away from the danger area before using his impeccable timing to make an interception at the vital moment. He wasn't often caught out and was rarely, if ever, given the runaround by even the liveliest of wide men. It was said that the only player to read situations as well as him was Paolo Maldini :blink: Kenny's leadership qualities are often underestimated, but he was undoubtedly valued by the players who took to the field behind him. However, a niggling injury and the arrival of Nigel Winterburn conspired to the end of Kenny's Highbury career. His role in nurturing the emergent Tony Adams would be vital to Arsenal's success of recent years, as would the enxample he set to his eventual replacement, Winterburn. _________________ 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.
