No mention of Jack Colback

Any more from SAFC? Can only think of Cana, Richardson and Colback?
Can't remember if Julio started left back or left mid

Julio was left midfield initially.

Julio was left midfield initially.

Dominic Matteo was initially a midfielder and I think Kolo Toure was a midfielder and striker initially.

Only part time, but Dean Whitehead had a few canny games at right back.

By the way, Colbacks not there because he went from midfield to wanker of all trades, master of fuck all.

 

[socawarrior]

Borini has played left back a couple times

 

[Sneech]

Glenn Hoddle ended up as a sweeper for Swindon

 

[Kenna]

Not Jack Rodwell, even under Moyes he will be a lost hope Imo.

Craig Gardner as much as Colback.

Julio was captain of Argentina u21's as a left back before joining us but Reid always played him left mid. Converted back by McCarthy in the Championship. The only time I've ever seen a left back dictate a game was Julio away to a poor Walsall team under Mick Mac. Absolutely ran the show.

Dave Mackay.
Glen Hoddle.
Alec Lindsay
Kenny Burns went from centre forward to centre half, as did Dave Watson.

Remember when bruce played onuha up front haha

Terry Cooper.

Rod Belfitt joined us as a centre forward and ended up as a centre half after being found wanting in midfield. If hed hung around any longer he wouldve been wearing Montys shirt or carrying the auld peanut basket. What a waste of space he was.

 

[Billy Fish]

Darren Williams and Holloway

He was a left back until we bought him

Julio was a defender in Argentina and we turned him into a midfielder.

Darren Williams and Holloway

Darren Holloway started as a centre half.

 

[Smiler]

Micky Gray is the best one to do it I remember for us.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Rodwell went from midfielder to corner flag.

 

[BRMC]

Jagielka, Ashley Cole (was a striker), Lee Howey, Mascherano and Gullit.

 

[SKP130]

Dave Watson was signed as a centre forward until Stokoe moved him to centre half.

 

[Vindaloo Man]

Paul Warhurst moved from defence to attack at Sheff Wed.
