I agree. Don’t underestimate how good heath was until Brian Marwood’s ‘tackle’ put him out of the game for long period. He returned, but he never fully recaptured the form before his injury. Very similar to bracewell whose career effectively ended by another yard dog - billy whitehurst.As good as Cahill was he wasn’t close to Heath.
Heath was one the best players I’ve ever seen. A true great.
If you doubt this take some time to glance back at the last time we were champions, amongst his goals you will see a clutch of brilliant headers every bit as impressive as Cahills , the more so given his size.
Heath was perfection.
Cahill was good.
