Think that he was originally a central defender.
Suppose that he was a late long term reserve.
I remember Ernie Phythian who always looked useful in the Reserves. Terry Allcock was probably our best long term reserve. Just before my reserve watching days.
Remember my Campo moment at Portsmouth. We won there 1-0 in the Premier League. He ran the show and I don't remember one pass not to a member of his own team. The Campo role par excellence.
Why did Roy Greaves wear a no 9 shirt? He never got up there to play centre forward.
Yes, that was the main criticism of one of the best servants BWFC ever had.
Sums up the naysayers generally.
There was a review on Sky towards the end of last season on L! play off winners with a former Charlton manager ?Ben Garner. He said he really fancied us now e had signed Dan Ndlunlu from Southampton who he rated as an all round striker. Still I suppose you know better, errr!
T'was the gravel rash falling of the Burnden pitch that did it.
Actually they were both excellent tacklers and Roy could land a ball on a sixpence from 50 yards.
So I don't think they were just choppers. And knew what they could get away with.
