Whos the best centre half you have seen for the lads...,

[King Kareoke]

Shaun Elliott and Jeff Clarke were tremendous as a pair

Todd was a fullback

He played as a FB for Everton at the end of his career, but he was a central defender/sweeper in the Bobby Moore mould in his prime.
Imagine if we could have hung onto him, and partnered him with Dave Watson in defence!

 

[70s traveller]

Have to agree with those who said Jonny Evans...in te modern era for sure.
One name which hasnt been mentioned and who i liked while at the club is Ian Atkins ...remember him ?

Aye, there's one, Ian Atkins was superb in central defence even though he was bought as a midfielder

 

[Hope springs eternal]

Colin Todd was a wing-half in old money. Not a centre-half or full-scale. A wonderful talent that we only saw the emergence of, unfortunately.

Todd was a fullback

Sorry but Colin Todd was never a full back and, when asked to play in that position, commented that he would have to learn that position. He was principally a right half in the old 2 3 5 formation. He could play centre half when called upon and, indeed, successfully partnered Roy McFarlane in that position in the more modern back four set-up. He was a strong, muscular lad who had plenty of skill going forward too.
