INFO:
Strong was an inside forward, wing half and full back, capable of playing in almost every other position except goalkeeper. He spent most of his career at Arsenal and Liverpool, respectively scoring 77 goals in 137 games from 1960 to 1965, and 33 in 201 from 1965 to 1970. He played also for Stanley United and Coventry City, where he retired in 1971.
Strong was a hardworking, fast and brave player. He was accurate with both feet, notably good in the air, and he rarely wasted scoring chances. He was a threat for the opposing goalkeeper due to his timely runs towards the ball to hit excellent headers, his movements to cut inside before delivering powerful shots from 25 yards, and his remarkable volleys after receiving the ball from a corner. However, he was mostly distinguished for his great versatility given that he covered multiple positions depending on the situation, often playing as wing half or left back, excelling in these roles as he showed hard tackling, and yet he maintained a flair for the attack. When he was deployed as forward, Strong didn't always drop back to midfield, and instead he waited for a lofted pass as his teammates tried to take advantage of his relatively tall physique. His versatility enabled him to play enough matches despite him not being a regular starter in the team. He was deployed mainly as inside left until the end of the 1967-68 season, sometimes playing as wing half, occasionally as side back, centre back, inside right, left winger and centre forward. Then he established himself as regular left back for the 1968-69 and 1969-70 season, at times playing as wing half and in a couple occasions as centre back or inside left.
