That man is a beast, he can throw the ball so far, he can't defend to save his life but he causes so many problems for the defence. His throw is better than a freekick 1. Ball starts high 2. Doesn't have to get it over the wall 3. Teams can't practice defending against it because no-one can throw like him. 4. It creates a problem for the defence when clearing the ball because while they would normally have no qualms about putting it out for a throw, Rory Delap's throw will be in the back of their mind so they might try to play it out of defence and they might give the ball away.
