CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 At one point in the game at the weekend, the ball was dropping from a fair high just at the side line (enclosure) where I was sitting and I knew that Aird was going to mis-control it, which he did. It probably was a difficult ball to control but as a professional footballer it really should be a basic skill for the players to be graspingIt had me thinking about players, past and present, who would have killed it dead and I'm wondering what player(s) other people think had the best control?I rated Hemdani highly when it came to pulling the ball out the air with his feet.The late, great, never-to-be-surpassed 'Slim' Jim Baxter could kill a ball stone dead on that leg foot of his like no-one I've seen before or since.Contest over - it's Baxter.

Ozblue 4,331 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Jelavic had an outstanding first touch.As proven by his goal against Hearts at Tynecastle 2011 when he came on as sub and scored with probably his first touch of the ball.I had a perfect view of it behind the goal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
