Garforth Town's Premier League 'Play-a-likes'

By Kevin Manion
Ben Higginson = Brad Friedel (Aston Villa) - both use their strength rather than natural height to claim high balls, good reflex saves and like a good punch (of the ball!) every now and then.
Lee Kelsey = Craig Gordan (Sunderland) - Keepers with good shot stopping and one-on-one records but have been known to drop one or two high balls
Milton Turner = Emanuel Eboue (Arsenal) - both solid right backs with pace and ability to get forward and score spectacular goals
Declan Normschild = Gary Cahill (Bolton) - No non-sense central defenders who do what it says on the tin
Rob Pacey = Matthew Upson (West Ham) - Again, steady defenders who keep it simple
Andy Villerman = Gael Clichy (Arsenal) - highly skillful left backs who can go the length of the pitch with the ball at their feet
Tom Marron = Gareth Barry (Man City) - Midfield engine rooms who can win and keep the ball with good distribution
Jamie Price = Luka Modric (Tottenham) - Highly skillfull who can control midfield and set up attacks but don't score that many themselves
Chris Fisher = Damien Duff (Fulham) - Attacking left midfielders who can get down the line to cross, cut inside to score and drop back to left back if required
Chris Howarth = Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) - Equally good playing behind the strikers or out wide. Good in front of goal and set pieces
David Brown = Niklas Bendtner (Arsenal) - Excelent build up players and getting themselves in the right place to finish off an attacking move but with a tendency to miss more chances than they score
Paul Walker = Dimitar Berbatov (Man Utd) - Both deceptively skillful strikers with excellent finishing but occasionally guilty of over-elaborating and trying to carve out the most delicate , balletic tap-ins where a quick toe bung would have settled thin
Adam Priestly = Fernando Torres (Chelsea) - Predator goal scorers who use speed to break through defenses and finish calmly. Both good at putting headers away as well
Ben Small = Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham) - Two players who have 50% ratios of brilliant tackle / bad foul tackle, Superb clinical pass / straight to oponent or out of play, Brilliantly finished goal / high wide and hansome
Oliver Hotchkiss = Owen Hargreaves (Treatment rooms) - Players who are good enough to have a team built around them but....
Indy Aujla = Nigel Reo-Coker (Aston Villa) - Don't get many games but can do any jobs in midfield when called upon
Liam Ormsby = Lee Bowyer (Birmingham City) -Neither player has ever been known to pull out of a challenge, Both box to box players with good goal scoring records.
Dom Blair = Shaun Wright-Philips (Man City) - Obviously.
