Agreed - MD 100%. Apart from his defensive duties he was an excellent crosser of a moving ball - if you get time just look at the build up to the Danny Wallace over head kick against Liverpool all those years ago. I think Worthington picks the ball up in midfield plays a blond ball to MD out wide - MD drives forward crosses on the run to Mark Wright at the back post headers back across and DW over head kick - back of the net.
Yes MD was sometimes overly aggressive but you have to bare in mind that football was a little different back then with the likes of Jimmy Case, Joe Jordan, Vinny Jones etc giving just as good (if not better) as they received.
