Thread: The problem Left Back Position

  1. #1

    The problem Left Back Position

    Having a reminisce of past left backs but fir me we have only had three since the 60's that stand out

    John Beresfird, Alan Kennedy & Frank Clark

    Didn't rate Enrique, Jonas made him look good, Bernard was average along with Robbie Elliot

    Pearce and Sansom would have great if they were 5 years younger when they signed.

    Out of all of them for me it was Alan Kennedy

    For me it's a toss up between Frank Clark and Alan Kennedy. Couldn't make my mind up between those two.

    Actually I always thought that Jonas could have been successfully converted to a left back.

    Jonas was a better full back than Enrique Bill if the truth be known he sharp got found out at Liverpool

    How about Stevie Watson. Covered every single position on the field, including in goal, during a spectacular 19 year career.

    Gullit should have been shot for selling him at the tender age of 24.

    Well god knows what Gullit tried to do to the team. . .

    What's happened to Enrique did he ever find another club, i remember we were re-linked with him.
