deane koontz Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I always thought Simon Charlton was somewhat underrated for us. Was surprisingly good at CB too for a midget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh white Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Tony Dunne was a good player, even in his later years he performed well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to think of a decent right back. Mark Fish was as good a centre half as you’ll ever see when he was on form.

Was surprisingly good at CB too for a midget. I’d say he played much better as a centre back than he ever did as a left back. Laville could have been an all-time great for us if it wasn’t for the timing of his injury. And who knows how far Dean Holden could have gone. As far as ill-fated full back choices go, I’ll throw in Tal Ben Haim at left back at Wigan LB Gardner, you just can’t ignore how many games he played for us at the top level. You could say Alonso for what he has achieved since, but he never really did it for us. CB Bergsson, no explanation needed CB Cahill, probably as much for what he achieved afterwards but a serious top level player RB N’Gotty, out of position really but just beating Hunt because, just because really. Easy to forget that N’Gotty was a seriously decorated player when he came to us and gave us some decent service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He once fell through a glass table naked whilst pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total nob head mind Fish looked ace because of those ‘recovery’ tackles that he always used to do, and I used to love doing similar when I was playing in that period. In reality though, if he was any good then he wouldn’t have let them get past him in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrotter Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If it was about their ability before they came, Fernando Hierro would walk in at CB, but I don't recall him playing there for us, always in the holding role in front of the back 4. We have had some serious quality at CB over the years. Forgot about Fish, Ben Haim and Stubbs in my earlier list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Folk are picking out random poor games at full back, why not just say every game played by Tyrone Mears, Dean Moxey or Gerald Cid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted November 10, 2019 Members Share Posted November 10, 2019 Gerald Cid is one of the worst players we’ve ever had. FACTAMUNDO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
