Seems slightly odd to compare George Boyd with Robson and Faz if only because of the disparity of styles.

Older readers will remember well that both Tommy and David left defenders for dead within the first few yards and both were adept at cutting in and finishing themselves if the forwards couldn't arrive in time. Both were also expert far post poachers when the ball arrived from the opposite flank.

George, conversely, has little pace but is equally as effective by the expedient of making his markers (there's always more than one) seem rather drunk. His crosses are regularly blocked as some observers point out but when they do get launched, way too many opponents find themselves marooned by the corner flag still admiring Boyd's feet. Despite his early enthusiasm resulting in a couple of amusing airshots, George is developing into a very tidy finisher indeed.

I reckon the only way George can be certain of eclipsing all of the notable names above is to resolve to make more Posh appearances than Sir Tommy. That's far more of a career challenge than being a periphery player at, say, Stoke or West Brom isn't it?

You've barely started the job, George - don't be a quitter :)
