    Probably the most natural finisher of his generation.

    If we narrow to premier league, you'd say Terry Henry did ok at Arsenal at that time, and if you want to say English player you'd say Rooney was a bit better at finding the old onion bag during the same era.

    Not far off. One shot one goal. Seems a nice bloke too. Hope he enjoys his retirement.

    I did actually mean English strikers.

    So up against the likes of Owen, Fowler, Cole, Kane, Shearer etc.

    Never really played for a 'top' club but an outstanding goals return.

    We're daft as brushes aren't we? :)

    That's got me thinking. Where does the phrase as daft as a brush come from? Please don't say Basil Brush....:)

    Fantastic footballer but I always felt he had something missing. Was at his peak playing under Redknapp.
