He was. It might be hard to believe now but he was ridiculously talented. World class wingers are becoming rare as hens teeth and if we get hold of one we need to protect him. They rarely seem to last much past 25yo. Look at Harry, Duff, Vicente. Giggs has done well but IMO the lateral movements they make, the 'shimmy', and the like put too much stress on their groins, knees and ankles.
