Here was a youngster who seemingly had the lot. He was strong as an ox, despite his tender years, quick and had a football brain to go with the natural attributes. He was a little like Desailly or Essien. You felt that he could do a top job in several positions and never let you down.<\/p>\n<p>His career has stalled a little of late but he still has the look of a world-class player to us.
