Players past - an honorary vote for Adam El Abd.
He morphed from the young player with red mist who fell for it, to an exponent of the dark arts, wind ups and gaining every possible advantage. Exemplified by getting Rickie Lambert sent off at the Amex.
The Dutch Master Joel Veltman.
Winds up opposition players, despite on paper, their superior pace. Expertly obstructing, yet winning free-kicks. Not averse to subtly leaving his foot in. A constant nuisance when we’re defending set pieces.
