Speaking, as we were about Wazzer Rooney ...

... I've been meaning to post what Gordon Strachan wrote in his recent autobiog (not great, was hoping for better) about Huckerby.

He mentions calling him in the past a "scorer of great goals, not a great goal scorer" (just like Alan below about Wazzer, which is what reminded me), and apparently this teed Hucks off a bit. Dint loike ut.

Strachan goes on to explain that as far as a player to take a man, or men, on and beat them with a combination of skill and pace he rates Huckerby as amongst the best. He actually says "I'd rate him up there with Rooney". I'll post the full quote if I think of it when I have the book to hand.
