We’ve had quite a few “utility” players in our time.......
Does anyone remember any particularly good ones.
My thoughts a folk like Dean Thomas who played in a few positions from midfield to defence. Steve Finnan was mentioned earlier. He played solely as a winger for us (in his loan spell and when he signed) even though nearly all the rest of his career was spent at full back/wing back.
Anyone think of other players who have played in many positions for Notts.
Phil Turner I seem to recall played midfield, upfront and as emergency centre half and I sort of remember him or Tommy Johnson going in goal for us at some point.....anyone help with my memory?!
