Take Gazzer for example, faced with a split-second decision in a crowded midfield he could spot a perceptive, game-changing pass. Given any off-field decision and as long as he wanted to get it right, he invariably came up with totally the wrong answer and got pissed.
Bobby Charlton could do almost anything with a football with grace and ease, he had both the skill and the brain power, but couldn't pass it on or manage a team. Brother Jack had far fewer skills and in a tight situation would hoof either the ball or an opponent. Off the field he could organise a team, motivate players, manage and coach.
Arsene Wenger made seven appearances as a professional but was known as the professor once he was in charge of all the chess pieces.
