Haan, everyone talks about the tall player's leap, but from my playing days, I regret not seeing it's really about the decoy runs and blocking—the clever players create the space, the header just finishes it. We had this one boy, Pintu, who’d drag two defenders away just by pretending to sneeze violently, leaving the far post empty. My life says the obvious answer is wrong because I was that tall guy who never scored, too busy worrying about the cross instead of making the space for it. All those mornings at the harbour now, I watch the fishing nets tangle and think, ah, just like our set-piece plans.
