I question, too, if some of the players themselves know how serviceable they really are to a side. It is quite a popular fallacy that the forwards are the scoring agents in all football, The half-back often hos hotter chance than the men in front of him, and if the reader will take the trouble to think about it a really swift and elever ball from bulf-back is more likely to take a goalkeeper unawares and is more likely to find him unsighted than any effort from a forward well within his view.
