Greg Downes was a bold left back,er sorry I meant bald !Recently Dan Fox, liked Martin Crainger when he was on loan, Pearce may have had just 2 seasons but he was great. Greggy Downes - awful
Bobby Mac as good as any for me .
Most of those 14 goals would have been him on the end of a Cross or corner IIRC.
Did he ever get an International call up??
Arguably are best ever and indeed successful left back was Danny Thomas who was capped twice for England and probably would have been even more if injury did not finish his career early -Unfortunately the same as today, the big boys noticed his performances for Cov and he signed for Spurs - He was in Spurs UEFA winning cup final team and missed a penalty in the final
@fraid Danny was a right back. For left backs, I could mention Frank Austin and Dave Clements, but in my humble opinion the best we've had in my time was Chris Catlin. A member of probably the best side we have ever had, which included the likes of Dennis Mortimer, Willie Carr and the beast (Wilf Smith) Oh happy memories
I want to hear about them.
My favourite was Spider - Chris Catkin but Dietmar Bruck was also a hero.
Whys no one mentioned Chris Hussey yet? He was and still is the worlds greatest (or so he thought......)
Andrew Whing? Scored the last goal at our one true home.
I remember Mick Kearns but I thought he had a number 2 on his back making him a right back with Dietmar Bruck playing at number 3 or left back...........but it was a very long time ago. Can anyone clarify or do I have to look for the box of programmes somewhere in the shed.One of my favourite left backs in the 1960's at the "City" was a converted left winger called Mick Kearns. Hard no nonsense player, and once he was on the move, could beat anybody down the left wing.
I thought he could play both sides.he was a right back
Found some team sheets from 1968:I remember Mick Kearns but I thought he had a number 2 on his back making him a right back with Dietmar Bruck playing at number 3 or left back...........but it was a very long time ago. Can anyone clarify or do I have to look for the box of programmes somewhere in the shed.
For me, (and I've said this many times on these forums), the greatest right-back we ever had (in my lifetime anyway), was Bobby McDonald. He was a legend! Definately be in my all time top players for CCFC!
true but that was a very good finish. What a great day that washe was a right back
