Hi Red666
We had skill in our team as well when we were one of the country's best teams. And don't forget, those were the days of Stanley Matthews. There is not a player anywhere today with his skills.
We had a winger called Peter Harris. Again I have never seen anybody with his speed on the wing. He was so fast he would leave any defender of any quality standing cut inside, and score. He scored as many as the forwards. He played for England, but because he was unlucky enough to be around the same time as Stanley Matthews, he rarely played for England.
I prefer those days because they honest hard working players, and many will skill like Stanley Matthews. It was worth paying to get in just to watch him, even if he did play for the other side. He would dribble around players as if the ball was stuck to his feet, a true genius, and a top man too. These so-called super stars of today could learn a lot from Stanley in both skill and as a person.
