It's always possible to cherry pick extreme examples to support your viewpoint. I could say James Beattie and Marcus Stewart scored loads of goals in a season 20 or so years ago against, apparently, much better defenders. Would they have been better than Kane? No. It's bizarre saying Kane would've been bang average 20 years ago.
Fair point. And there were some poor players back then as there are now. I do think the overall technical quality of players then was better than now, the altheticism of players today is better though. I know I’ll be in the minority with my opinion, but it’s the beauty of football, each person sees it different.
