Is this why we're all still a bit reticent to fully get behind our latest (in a not very long line of) homegrown strikers?? It's just that he comes across as a bit thick, and (someone else mentioned) gormless....
Is he not quite 'global football superstar' enough for people?? Will he not command a six-figure advertising campaign with an underwear company?
He's definitely more Mark Falco than 'Galactico'... And that, I fear is part of the problem with how he is perceived in modern football!
30 years ago, he'd have been a Spurs working class hero!
