Adams did'nt have the talent but he had the work ethic and nous to know that he was on the cusp of something special at Arsenal to make him become a player that he was. Yep off the field it was not glamorous but on the bloke wanted to play football.

Gazza was a flawed genius whether it be for England, Newcastle Spurs or Inter, he had his demons but when he put the shirt on he was bang on it, I think the game has changed and players like him are rare, it is more a team game now and Rav if he is lucky will follow that route, perhaps he needs the controversy to play the way he plays, shame it won't be for us but I think he knows that there will always be clubs worldwide that will gamble on him for what he can deliver, a bit like Balotelli . It's a nice position to be in.
