"I first saw David Rocastle play in 1983 for the youth team. I remember coming home excitedly from the match and telling my family, "I've just watched the nearest thing to a Brazilian footballer you are ever likely to see - and he comes from Lewisham." - David Dein on Rocky Rocastle

Re: Obafemi Martins
I have spent some time looking for some of the spectacular goals scored by Martinsbepanda wrote:This description you gave below is why Martins is clubless. I don't see any soccer skills in the description you gave below.
Pace, Power are not soccer skills. Usain Bold and Carl Lewis would be amazing soccer players if true.
Could he shoot with accuracy? Left footed? Right footed?
Could he cross the ball with accuracy?
Could he separate on narrow distances?
How is his change of direction?
Because he can jump doesn't mean he can actually time his jumps and score headers. I don't even remember him scoring headers in his career.
Could he score from outside the box?
Any dribbling skills? Martins was never known for any above average dribbling skills.
And people compare him with THE KING who is still banging goals and getting paid handsomely for it ...
En serio !!!In my opinion, Oba Martins had everything i.e. pace, power, technique, intelligence, good spring and above all, for a little man, he can jump higher than most defenders.
You will most of them on his Twitter page and the link is below and you will need to spend a lot of time scrolling down.
