Graeme Sharp appreciation thread

...technically outstanding. I spoke to a defender who marked him and said his back to goal play was so good he could hardly see the ball.

I remember Lineker saying he didn't realise how good a player Sharp was until he played alongside him. I think Sharp benefited lots from Andy Gray. I loved Sharp, one of the very best of his type.

Spot on Eggs,he came on leaps and bounds under the wise old owl Gray

Thought Eastoe brought him along , from being a a bit raw like DCL now to being a bit clever on the park, never seems to get the credid he deserves for it Eggs.

..good shout, I was a big fan of Peter Eastoe. I remember saying on another thread how technically gifted he was and yet so underrated. I think somebody said he now works for a local council in the Midlands but he was a proper footballer.

Great with his back to goal, similar to a certain someone across the park, probably signed at the wrong time as the late 1970's team was disintegrating.

..yep, the similarity of Eastoe with Dalglish is well made, Dario. Good players link together and Sharp had a number of successful partnerships.
