I think Adams was overrated as a player as well as never having cut it as a manager. As a player, he was at his best playing against traditional long ball teams pumping lots of high balls into the box. At that time, that is how most British teams played, but he got badly found out against teams that played in behind him along the ground. I remember him getting turned inside out by Marco van Basten and Gullit. As a manager at Wycombe Wanderers his football was dreadful to watch, and his quote that his favourite score was 1-0, but he didn't get results either , and so he didn't last long. I do wish him well though in fighting alcoholism.
