Who was the more exciting player?


Recommended Posts

Most exciting: Waddle for me. Genuine chance of magic every time he touched the ball. One of Cantona's greatest unsung qualities was, in between his semi-regular moments of pure gold, actually being a very workmanlike and reliable midfield general. Waddle on the other hand was more like Gandalf - you wouldn't even see him for long stretches, but whenever he popped up he made everyone else look like...well, Bilbo Baggins.

 

Most explosive: not even worth debating. Cantona was half Napoleon, half Genghis Khan. Waddle, conversely, barely broke a trot once a season because he didn't usually have to, but the fact he could turn most fullbacks inside out at literal walking pace doesn't help him here.

 

Most naturally gifted: dead heat. Apples and oranges. Actually, Newcy Brown and Stella - if you ever had to take both on together, that would be a very dirty pint indeed. A terrifying thought.
