What's "wrong" with having massive love for Dazzler? Mackie may not be a player blessed with great technical ability, nor with any composure, awareness, or indeed any discernible footballing talent. However, what he so completely and utterly lacks in skill, he more than makes up for in running fast, running around, and running into people. Furthermore, he is widely recognised as a pioneer of the "False No. 10" position. Much like the "False No. 9" role made famous by the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Lee Miller, Mackie's tactical breakthrough has replaced a traditional interpretation of a position with a more modern approach. In this case, fantasistas like Alessandro Del piero and Francesco Totti have been replaced by a more workmanlike, less skilful, less creative and entirely more magnificent forward. And that, my friends, is how Darren Mackie is changing football forever.
