 Jazus...I didn't realise that big Tony was that old! He could really head a football, terrific player for both Villa and Chelsea. He terrified centre halves all over the world. RIP Big Tony

Hi Geoff it depends who the manager is at the time and whether the player or players fits in with his style of play.
Instead of fitting the style of play to fit the players you have in the team.

Take your point John but back in the 60s England's style of play was to have a big rough arsed centre forward who could chase after the ball , mix it a bit with the defenders and was good in the air Tony was ace at all of them  |

Hi Geoff
Yes that's how they used to play in the 60's.
I just can't think who was playing centre forward in that period.
Probably Smith of Spurs and Chelsea's Peter Osgood.
