I remember my Dad telling me how Jimmy would effortlessly control the ball on his instep when the ball was fired up to him,and would glide past players.
When we were talking about TC,he never said Jimmy was better,but would often say what a great player Jimmy Hagan was aswell.
I think it's a generational thing...for me it's TC,but I never saw Hagan;and it's difficult to compare players from different era's...If there was a comparable player today,people like me would be saying "nah,he's not as good as Currie".
Father in Law always said when he was in trouble hitting the ball to Hagan at any height no matter how hard he always took it down with ease.
Always said he was better than TC.
Why he didn't follow Harris as manager when we were in a good position was the biggest bollock dropped by SUFC ever and they have dropped some bollocks over the years..
