Not his last couple of seasons, he was always slow, but was getting a bit too slow with age
Agreed. People often misremember someone in their absence. There was a time when he chipped in with a moderate share of goals and worked his socks off, but that was a long while ago. Even at his best he was slow, with poor passing and one of the worst first touches I've seen at preofessional level.
Currently scoring at a rate of 1 goal every other game so I'm guessing that the general standard of turkish football is the equivalent to our League 1?
