The best left defender in history without a doubt.

You watched some documentary and decided to bump the thread?

Yeah, I was reminded by a documentary on him.

He was the most feared player by his peers on the right wing. And my childhood memories are him being this giant of LB.

Yeah, he was a beast. You appreciate the video above that shows him actually defending and engaging duels. Today's full-backs are more valued by their offensive output and they defend mostly in a system. I can't stand it watching a full-back with 2 meter safety distance to the winger, not engaging because they fear to lose the duel, arms behind the back and try force a long cross out of him and shift the responsibility to the CBs and GK.
These system players made football much more robotic and one-dimensional.
