Blanco being from the NH, has 0% to do with it!
The man was a positional genius, gifted with the best high-ball taking abilities of his era. Turnovers were near impossible to get off this man (not so Cullen).
Serge may not have been better than Cullen overall. To say it's not a contest, well, it's sheer and utter, undiluted SH arrogance. We must give credit to the NH greats when they are surely there!
How did it feel for other teams to almost never get the ball back from a speculative kick? How did it feel to have your attacking kick run back at you and split your mid-field wide open? How did it feel to know a man had 4-5 options and any one of them would work?
The above paragraph speaks of Blanco. Find tapes, watch genius! Not always, but was Cullen?
No!
