Would have been a much better suited to today's game - you could argue he was before his time.
There were some quotes in the YEP article about it being 20 years ago from John Bentley calling Powell the 'nicest forward in the game' and stating he never saw him throw a punch - back then, for me, that was a big weakness in Roys game. Whilst he never took a backward step, the truly elite forwards of that era also had an element of intimidation - Roy just didn't have that in his armour, and that used to frustrate me.
In today's game, without the need for intimidation/retaliation, he'd have been outstanding. His athletic ability and work ethic would have put him in the top echelon of British forwards in the current game.
