He did however admit that, despite getting the better of him on several occasions, the Netherlands captain smelt great and had great hair.“I’ve said it many times, I hate him,” Deeney toldBBC Radio 5. “I hate going up against him.“He’s too big, too strong, too quick, too good on the ball, loves fighting, a good head of hair.”Since arriving at Anfield in January, the 6ft 4ins colossus has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League – a brawler capable of playing out from the back with consummate ease. Despite his brawn, Deeney admitted the 27-year-old even managed to smell great when bulldozing opposition strikers.He added: “One of those guys that sprays on his top as well, so it smells lovely!
