    Not sure art is the right word, but there is an interesting article in today's issue of 'The I' paper on Norman Hunter, by Kevin Garside. I particularly liked his comment on playing against Leeds "Crossing the halfway line was a declaration of war and Hunter was your first point of contact'.

    Norman's technique could well have been the earliest example of zonal marking. As in, "If you're in my half, you're in my zone - and I'm having you."
