A very few players are worthy of a place in the team just for a moment of magic, a brilliant goal, an genius back heel to set up a goal etc.
Tomlin comes into that category along with Lee Trundle, JET, and Jacki to name a few.
They are never going to track back and do the hard graft, but it's seeing players like that that puts bums on seats.
Tomlins goal against Huddersfield and the last minute free kick at Fulham alone made it all worthwhile
ps I doubt that their managers at the time would agree!
