    Crouch isn't bad. However from what i've seen from Zigic (albeit 2 games) he looks like a poor signing by Alex McLeish.

    Also notice how ANYBODY with a half decent left foot is labelled as having a 'cultured left leg', whereas you never hear of somebody with a cultured right leg. :rolleyes:

    Zigic is class. Prob the best player at the WC so far.

    For a big man, he's an excellent player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Andy Carroll of Newcastle is also cursed with "He has good feet for a big man".

    To be fair, big men arnt supposed to have good feet, maybe because they are so far away from their brain?

    No one has mentioned Zlatan yet. :P

    I always saw this phrase as saying a big man was technically good with his feet (eg Crouch) and goes beyond being your stereotypical battering ram of a target man (Heskey). It's just a way of saying a big man is skillful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,153 ✭✭✭everdead.ie


    If you look at crouch he's very good with his feet but if the ball is delivered above his knees because his legs are so big he takes an age to get the ball down.
