King may be remembered, as you say, with rose tinted glasses owing to his very occasional display of an ability to dribble by two or three opposition players with a sharp turn or a drop of the shoulder. He also had an occasional good effort from distance that could be quite memorable. But we’re talking about two, maybe three instances of each in total across all of his first team appearances.
Like Mark Russell, in a sense, but far fewer starts at the same stage of his career.
