"Flash of Genius" indeed.

Thanks for putting all this together and I can't say I disagree in any way with your order. That back heel(s) against Middlesbrough will live in the memory for a long time.

Despite his youth, as well as skill and athleticism, MG-W definitely has a "footballer's brain". A typical example is the goal against Barnsley. After he receives the ball from McBurnie, the goalkeeper has come out with a leg extended, and almost every other player would lose the ball at that stage, but he has the wit to wait just a second to gather himself to go around the goalkeeper and then score.

He'll be sorely missed by the Blades (players and supporters) but I wish him every success wherever he plays. Thanks again for the wonderful reminder of his talent.
