He may have looked laconic at times (he made time slow down during play because he read the play brilliantly and was utterly unflustered under pressure), but the burning competitiveness and toughness - he is poles apart from SPS.I'm not comparing SPS to The Hyphen, that is not my point, I'm demonstrating how appearances can deceive.
A lot of fans reckon SPS doesn't care, that he has no intensity, I doubt that is true for any player who debuts than plays the bulk of 3 straight seasons without being dropped!
Fwiw, it's the very same way they misjudged Gibbs.
For some reason a lot of fans think if you are not jumping around like a vibrator in a jam jar you aren't trying or don't care, it's a bullcrap perspective!
