He's genuinely has the heart of a lion (or three). You get the feeling that he is the kind of player that doesn't care what position he plays in, as long as he is playing. We've seen it countless times for England and he has been a scolding hot red devil. We've seen him play across the front three and increasing in a left wing position. I think my argument is reinforced by the fact that he has played phenomenally wherever he has been placed.
He has excellent touch, an awesome workrate and a footballing mind which is simply great. His array of finishes is also something to be admired. Headers, left foot or right foot, he can apply either power or the required finesse. Let's not forget the agility that he also carries.
I think on his day, he can be one of the best players in the world and he certainly is a playing role-model for young players. You'll have to mind his foul mouth and temperament, although some would argue that is what makes him so loved by his fans.
