It tells you he played in high-profile and successful teams. Michael Owen won that award FFS.

Howard Kendall won the FA Cup as a 16 year old and won the title too.
Peter Reid won the League (twice), FA cup and ECWC
Joe Royle won the title and League Cup

Mancini

I've seen Keegan, Ball, Royle, Kendall, Clark etc play and for me Mancini was definitely the most naturally talented footballer.

Hughes isn't a bad shout actually. Always thought he was a great player when he was at the rags.

We could actually put together a very decent team from the managers we've had. Although tbf we've had more than most!

But I'd have to say Mancini would be the superstar of that team.

Not old enough to have seen Keegan in his playing days but remember Mancini being one of the most talented players of his generation when I was growing up. Just always seemed to like being the star of a smaller club rather than playing for the biggest club. He was a star in the Italian league back when it was the best league in the world. The back heel volley from a corner is one of the best goals I've ever seen.
