When you reflect on the fact that Nicol was fuelled almost entirely by crisps and ale, it makes his prodigious physical powers even more remarkable. Alec Lindsay is the first LB of ours I remember, and he was under-appreciated outside the city but he was very solid, accurate and quietly effective; Keegan loved him because of the excellent service he provided down the left. Robbo just has a 70s/80s vibe about him - he's one of the few players of today you could imagine bombing up and down on those potato patch pitches, then getting into his second-hand Ford Escort and going home to his bedsit.
