Our legend, unsung player and cult hero all prowled the middle of the park for the Mighty Reds, scoring, passing and tackling with varying degrees of success.
But all three had boss songs. And that’s the main thing.
The problem with Berger was he wasn’t as good as was expected. He was like a midfield Riise, all left foot and shoot on sight.
Now a Smicer/Berger hybrid would have been a good player: Vlad with Paddy’s confidence and shot on him.
