 ENVB Nick Hornby Fever Pitch citaat Liam Brady
Brady was a midfield player, a passer, and Arsenal haven't realy had one since he left.
Managers, coaches and therefore players now favour alternative methods of moving the ball from one part of the field to another, the chief of which is a sort of wall of muscle strung across the half-way line in order to deflect the ball in the general direction of the forwards.
“Liam Brady was one of the best two or three passers of the last twenty years, and this in itself was why he was revered by every single Arsenal fan, but for me there was more to it than that.

 Singer & Friedlander Football Review 1997-98 Season
Brady's remit is considerable, although his main task is to ensure a steady flow of players of the highest quality into the first team squad.
For Brady, serious contracts mean increased salaries, and to rectify this situation at Arsenal, he persuaded Don Howe, a man whom he regards as one of the best coaches in the world, to head the coaching for young players between the ages of 16 and 18.
Brady's simple and logical conclusion is that the probability of producing future Arsenal players of an appropriate technical quality increases if boys experience good coaching and are schooled in "good habits" at a young age.

Brady signed for Arsenal as a 15-year-old apprentice in June 1971, made his debut in October 1973 - and was to be the main creative force in the Gunners midfield for the next seven years.
For Brady, some of the reasons why Arsenal are moving down the road are the reasons why Highbury is so treasured.
