Suddenly the Doucoure physicality and energy is brought into focus. Easiest way in this league to roll the opposition over is physically, stick a team of bullies together and kick anything that moves.

Classic centre forward. Scored a lot of headers but had a cracking shot on him as well and a decent hold up player as well. Top bloke as well.
My old man still thinks he's the bee's knees, and said he was one of the fastest men over two yards: getting in the right place, at the right time.
Brilliant with his head and could score with his feet too. You wouldn't expect him to run around a lot.

... and then he scores but Spurs still lose.

Agree with this.
Latch was often slated for his lack of speed (which was true) but he had a speed of thought and anticipation that gave him the edge over many speedier players.
I have no doubt that this will be an unpopular opinion, but I believe that Dwight McNeil is similarly under-rated due to a "lack of speed"
..... and, of course, walked on water.

He plays every game, mostly as sub so that's not true.
Plus he's 3 years older and nowhere near as talented.
….i always have this image of him with a huge thigh bandage on, throwing the ball rather than kicking it to Joe Royle on the half-way line. Tommy Wright took his goal kicks, he was a fine keeper;

Big Bob was the complete centre forward,
bought for a record fee from a Birmingham City side that also had a young Trevor Francis in their line up.
Dixie Dean rated him. His penalties would be blasted into the back of the net, only Bruce Rioch could give him a run for his money on the power of a shot or maybe Lorimer at Leeds.
When the service was excellent (Dave Thomas) and the space created ( Duncan McKenzie & Martin Dobson ) he thrived.
Scored 30 goals in one season, was a fashion icon with his 'perm' after bagging four away at QPR.
Always happy to sign autographs, and go to the big factories etc while hordes queued up for them.
Never won enough England caps for his talents and we were unlucky that he picked up a few injuries when the big derby matches came around.
We were very close to winning the league cup in his time, which took two replays to decide it.
He was always great to watch and those that followed him in the forward line after he left were very poor in comparison.
…I think it was him who regularly vomited with nerves before games. You’d never have thought that watching him, loved him running 20 yards and barging Ian S John over after he’d punched Alan Ball.

On the apple book store you can download a sample of Dunc’s book , a few pages, it’s excellent so far, well written and gets straight to the point.
