I agree with that. For me silky is definitely Vicente, for input Knocky. I guess I'd have to say that considering those factors Knocky is (or has been) the most influential.

Vicente - the flame was brief but oh so bright.

Jeff Minton.
He played about 30 times (mostly subs but I believe still more than Knockaert). Vicente is winning because the question was: "Who is the silkiest player to wear the stripes" and irrespective of how many games he played.
Greater contribution? Knockaert. Silkiest? Vicente.

The more I think about, I think I may have got this wrong. Yes, perhaps I was a little rash.

Vicente was doing what Knocky's doing now in the championship except it was against teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid! The gulf in quality and opposition is large.
As an aside always had a soft spot for Jeff, how was he supposed to soar like an eagle etc, etc?

As every other Peter seems to be getting a mention.
Please step forward, one Peter ...
... Smith.

Ah the Smithy overlap of yore... into Mundee, neat one two and pull back for Minton to play a beautiful ball to Mcdougald to apply the finish.
At least that was how it was meant to work.

Now Jeff had some great close control. He just lacked pace and errmmm some other key attributes.... BUT in all seriousness; with better coaching and some breaks he could have been a £10 million player in today's game.
Yep that's right, £10 million.

I actually think Dwight Gayle is about as good as McDougald...
Alas, that say's it all.
Never have I seen so many £ coins wasted so badly.
Heh heh suckers.

On his last warning
Vicente was never world class playing for us. He was a crocked version of his old self. He Had a lovely touch but did find himself having to beat the same player twice, whereas AK from a standing position can suddenly glide past 2/3 players all in one movement. At his best, Vicente was obviously the silkiest, but he was never at his best for us. AK has shown enough silk for me to get my vote. Everything he does just oozes class.
