PHOTOGRAPH OF DAVID BATTY

David Batty

Midfielder

Hard tackling ball winner who added a vital extra ingredient to the United engine room following a £3.5m move from Blackburn Rovers in March 1996. david, who has played for two title winning sides (Blackburn in 1994-95 and Leeds in 1991-92) is much more than a mere hard man though. His cool head and confident passing make him a valuable combination of destroyer and creator. A master of the midfield anchor role and capped over 20 times by England, David is now an integral part of Glenn Hoddle's squad which will challenge for the 1998 World Cup.
