He never seems to get into the "best player ever" stakes, perhaps because he was at his best before the era of live TV (although he played professionally until 1972). I'd never seen him play until the other day, when I discovered that there's lots of film of him on YouTube. Looks like he was a really exciting player, although also a lifelong alcoholic apparently. I wonder how he'd fare in today's game?
