Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted January 25, 2020 I wonder just how many European players, from the past, have gone the way of Astle and Peters etc. Heading was always considered to be something that, if not uniquely British, was a speciality that we were pretty damn good at, maybe because we played the ball in the air too much while the continentals kept it on the ground and at feet.
