In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
You can't think about Corner without mentioning Charlie Adam.

Can't believe he has not been mentioned yet
Has anyone mentioned Büttner yet?
I thought Biscuits signature move was rolling around on the floor like a child
No one mentioned AWB yet ?
Joking aside, Miroslav Klose got my vote.

Inzhagi and beating offside.
Xavi and pass-pass-pass.

Beckham - crossing
Mário Jardel and one touch finishing
Roberto Carlos. Shooting from insane angles and distances
That 3rd knuckle ball one is painful to watch as a goalkeeper.
He was also known to take the odd free kick.
Vinnie Jones and studs up tackles.
Ruud van Nistelrooy - scoring goals.
Lukaku and scoring against lower teams? Or Lukaku and not scoring against top six?
Rashford and not making the obvious pass to Lukaku? ^^

Luis Suarez and biting.
Lukaku and thumbs up
Tim Cahill and heading
Tom Cleverley - Spanish football. He spent so long getting good at it, he never learned how to play English football.
Adebayor - becoming world class exactly 6 months before contract renewal time.
Souness - backpasses
Who in the feck woke up one morning and decided to make a Hugo Sanchez compilation set to the fecking numa numa song?
Yeah that's a strange choice to say the least. Not that football compilations usually have good music, mind.Harry Kane and scoring. Seriously convinced the only time he has ever touched a ball is to score and he does nothing else.
And of course Valencia for getting in to great positions and lashing the ball as hard as he could at the poor defenders shins.

Bolasie 5 star fifa skills. but that's it
Daniel James - Run
Andy "offside" Cole
Morelos - not scoring v Celtic
Most footballers specialize in this: over exaggerating tackles from opponents to win fouls and get opposition players carded
Scott Brown - Kicking people
Alex Stepney goal keeping
Brad Friedel - Basically turning into Cerberus against United.
Seen some games where he looked average but always seemed to epicly game raise if my memory serves right.

Wes Brown - Brwning players.
Jonathan Viera - Scooped passes.
Arthur Melo - 180 turns.

Think many mentions here are not one trick ponies but footballers with trademark moves. Robben e.g. had so much more to his game than his cutting inside.
If we are talking about trademark moves:
Iniesta/Laudrup: La croqueta
Kroos/Herrera: First touch shuffle
Lahm/Nainggolan: Backheel tackle
Quaresma/Rosicky: Outside of the foot crosses/shots
Busquets: Fake pass
Özil: Passing/finishing by bouncing the ball into the pitch
Cruyff: Cruyff turn
Zidane: Roulette
Ronaldinho: Elastico
Robinho/Cristiano: Step overs
Maradona: Overhead crosses
Ronaldo: Rounding the keeper
Messi/Raul: Lobs over the keeper
Okocha/Neymar: Okocha flick

Hazard and the back heel.
Scholes switching play with a long ball.
De gea - shot stopping
Remember there was some ridiculous stat where Jelavic scored 20+ one touch goals in succession during his time at Everton.
Not that this proves it:
Giroud - Scoring consolation goals In the last 5 minutes of the game.
Ander Herrera - Back passes
John Terry - Shagging his team mates missus.
John Terry/Steven Gerrard: Slipping at a vital moment.
