Yeah but he could on either wing and up front.Ben 10 wrote:Danny wrote:He did play up front a bit though.
He was an inside right - which is a right winger I think

Go and ask Shankly that.
He wasn't compared to him, some fan asked him if he thought Pélé was the best player in the world, to which he replied; "No, Tom Finney is."

You said English... Shankly is not English so there would be no reason for a bias. I used the term British which Shankly and Finney both were/are.

Tom Finney was only good enough for a mid-table Serie A club

Yeah, he's probably glad he didn't go as he won English Leagues Footballer of the Year two years later
