Charlie-Brown Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Zaliukas & Berra are both very decent in the air but nobody mentioned on this thread will be better than Roddy McDonald in the air - he was immense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winston churchill Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Zaliukas is much stronger in the air really spends the game watching the ball fly over his head,or wrapping his arms / pushing the guy he is marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 and what about the others he was MOTM last week. Berra was good but Zaliukas had the tougher task against Boyd, cos of him boyd didn't cause us any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Robbie Neilson rarely loses a header, but he does tend to be up against players that aren't quite as good in the air as a centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibpc Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Craig Levein - he didn't just dominate in the air, he laid the ball off to where he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chat Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Can't agree with you here Puggers despite Berra being one of my favourite current players. We never really noticed how poor Craig Gordon was at coming off his line until Pressley and Judas went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabyarsebiscuit Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Dave McPherson. Going back a wee bit further, Roddie Macdonald. And a wee bit further, and in an attacking sense, Drew Busby had a bullet of a header on him. In fact, striker wise (seeing I've gone down that path) let's include Jimmy Bone and Sandy Clark.

And a wee bit further, and in an attacking sense, Drew Busby had a bullet of a header on him. In fact, striker wise (seeing I've gone down that path) let's include Jimmy Bone and Sandy Clark. Roddie McDonald may have been good in the air but it was from his injury in 1985 that Alex McDonald moved Craig Levein back to partner Sandy Jardine and the rest is (nearly) history. As if to emphasise that we were no longer playing a traditional centre half in that team, no 5 jersey went to a midfielder, Neil Berry. Alan Anderson's worth mentioning, never going to be remembered as one of our all-time greats but could certainly head a ball in attack as well as in defence.

Think Pressley and Webster were both better - but Berra ia improving fast. Prior to that Hearts had some good headers of a ball - Roddy McDonald and Alan Anderson for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
