They just do it for the company though, they could go it alone if they wanted.

Sheedy was an inside left imo who wanted to play in the middle but we had those two monsters in the middle so he was out wide to give it the balance we needed.

Not really. But due to his wonderskills he was deployed as a free role who would roam through the field.
But he has been a right midfielder or winger.
When he reached Barcelona he was turned into the ultimate wing man.
PS - By the way, pick a large sheep dog and you'll get a wolf beater (Akbash; Estrela Mountain dog...)
Sheedy was without doubt a left sided winger. Two reasons why he tended to drift inside at times was that he never was the quickest of players, and secondly because physco overlapped him frequently.
Still dont see him as a winger mate, compare him to someone like Steven or Limpar.
Its like Kanchelskis being called a winger.
See where your coming from here and the reason many did'nt see Sheedy has a winger was because he was'nt the type to beat a player and get to the bye-line. On the other hand, was Beckham a winger? In his early days, he was classed by many has being a right winger, yet he too could not beat opponents all that much. Both where placed out wide due to having technically superb delivery.

No chance, that's basically a sheep dog bred for herding and protecting sheep. It couldn't handle a wolf.
Even though it's a big dog (25-28 inches) the Wolf is still bigger. You can get Wolves up to 38 inches which is bigger than most dogs. There bigger canines, natural athleticism and bigger paws also make them a dominant force compared to most dogs.
Very few dogs can take a Wolf one on one, it's well known. In Wolf hunting, in the wild and even when Wolf's go dog hunting looking for food.

So he's not what you call a natural old fashioned winger then? I think that is what Chico is talking about. A get to the byline winger and cross it type winger.
I wouldn't call Beckham a natural winger to be honest, I'm quite sure he started off as a central midfielder just like Osman, Pienaar and Areta.

Beckham's no winger. He can't dribble and is not pacey enough to take people on.
PS - You should see some non standard Estrela Mountain Dog's, they look like donkeys, mate. This is a breed whith better stamina than most breeds and they are very independent dogs. You have the Rodhesian Ridgeback (people say they tackle the lions, I think they're used to point, but really don't know much about the breed), and two other breeds which aren't recognized at international level: the big sheep dog from alentejo and the sheep dog from Tras-os-Montes. They're even bigger than the Estrela Mountain Dog. I'm looking for a Estrela Mountain Dog to guard my place.
And how 'bout an Ovcharka?

See post #83 for details.
So he's not an old fashioned winger then, basically.
Sheedy was not but he played has a left winger, so he was just that. Beckham also was not but he played has a right winger. Both had great accuracy with deliveries from open play and the dead ball. Trevor Steven was an old fashioned winger who could go beyond opponents and attack the bye-line and the most recent of old fashioned wingers would have to be Ryan Giggs who could do likewise. Old fashioned wingers are a dying breed unfortunately but someone has to play in these positions.
