Who is your favourite ever RIGHT BACK.

[CheeseRolls]

You would certainly wonder what he was doing picking the ball up there if he was playing RB!
I seem to remember a few different RBs tried out while he was around - he wasn't always dropped, just moved around as he was quite versatile. Stuart Tuck & Stuart Myall may have been in the mix for RB at about the same time? Chappers would have still been around too. Seems like a long time ago, yet only yesterday in some respects!

Left midfield that day, which generated plenty of groans. Myall I was convinced was going to go on and become a million pound player and of course I was miles out with that prediction. I think maybe he took things a little for granted, but he fell out of form, played when maybe he should have been rested and never fulfilled his potential.

Gary Stevens?

Used to play right-back on occasion.

 

[sully]

If it wasn't for Norman Whiteside, Chris Ramsey would have been the right back everyone at the Albion would have talked about for years. Absolute class.

After him, only Calderon comes close for me.

 

[7:18]

Inigo Calderon

 

[CheeseRolls]

Chappers for me. *can't remember if he was a LB or RB tbh Senility I tells you

Whoa the years have not been kind to you. I can remember Chapman, making a goal line clearance at the Goldstone in front of the North Stand. It was memorable in that he had to pivot through 270 degrees, to clear it with his left foot. A great advert for footballing coaching in this country, in that he was part of an elite chosen at 14 to attend the FAs new football school at Lilleshall. Sadly in two years they never taught him to kick with his right foot. To be fair though, otherwise he was technically sound, for a left back.

 

[vegster]

Keiran O'Regan. 100%

Then Calde.

Yes, brilliant little player.

 

[lawros left foot]

Chris Ramsey, if that dirty b*****d Whiteside hadn't done him at Wembley, we would have won the cup, Whiteside should have been sent off, and received a long ban

There were quite a few local young players in that era who showed some early promise but came to nowt. Simon Funnell, Phil Andrews (did he have a brother that played for us too - Ben??), Simon Fox... (?)

Then again, there were a few local successes too - Chappers & JCFG (eventually!) being two good examples...

I do like seeing players come through the youth ranks, so I can't wait for the Academy to bear fruit!

IMHO it was DesTennant. One of the worst Crumplin as I told Nobby when he was manager at Oxford and he asked me about our team I said we were weak at full back as one cant run Chapman and the other Crumplin cant tackle, we lost 5-0 all goals by the wingers

 

[gravnast]

For us Ramsey

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Harry Wilson
maybe not the best but plenty of personality

Yes, 'Arry was popular but shurely he played on the left?
In the same era the also popular Ken Tiler was on the right, succeeded by a couple of good 'uns: Chris Cattlin and John Gregory.

I seem to remember several games where he played on the right ...........but harry was never where he was supposed to be anyway very underrated player

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

John Gregory was the best I saw playing for us, but my favourites are Paul Watson and Calde

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I do love Calde, but, but, sorry Calde, it has to be Peter Smith. The enjoyment I got as his long legs launched another head-down foray down the wing has rarely been rivalled in a football stadium

 

[lasvegan]

Stewart Henderson.
I was seriously pee'd off when we let him go to Reading.
Best slide-tackler we ever had - he'd get a booking every match the way the game is played now

He used to live next door to my nan...got me a fair few autographs.

 

[lasvegan]

Lived 4 doors away from me when i was growing up, he gets my vote

Park Rise?

 

[shaunslats]

Calde!

 

[Brownstuff]

John Gregory, Gary Stevens, Gary Chivers
Also good shout earlier for Kevan Brown who never received many plaudits in his career but solid right back

 

[BLOCK F]

Harry Wilson
maybe not the best but plenty of personality

Good steady player,signed from Burnley I think................played on left though.
Stewart Henderson,probably my favourite.Had legs like tree trunks.

But, but, but... he was terrible wasn't he? I remember an away match at Fulham when the home fans were laughing every time he got the ball. He did go on those crazy runs but he was out of his depth as a defender.

Agree with the Keiron O'Regan comments - very under-rated player. And Harry Wilson was definitely primarily a left-back. Don't have many memories of him, but wasn't he a bit of a dirty player - certainly not afraid of chopping down the odd opposing forward.

If Wilson's 'allowed' I'm definitely going for Gary Stevens, who wore the number two shirt often enough and was quality.
