LWBs

[Lanzo-Ad]

A couple of LWBs i really like the look of are Alexandro Bernabei 24, on loan to Brazilian team, Internacional, from Celtic, looks a class act, and Miguel Gutierez 23, at Girona, either of them a good buy and a big improvement on Mitchell as a LWB

Lanzo as you’re of a similar vintage to me, I’m wondering how King Kenny Sansom would’ve done as a Left Wing back rather than a good old fashioned Left back. He was swift and a great tackler, but not so sure he would’ve been overly great getting forward a lot more than he used to have too? Possibly?

As I recall, when Kenny had robbed the ball off the opposing winger (without ever touching him - amazing timing in the tackle) he'd not infrequently bomb forward with the ball and try a cross or a through pass to a more forward player.

I might have my rose-tinted spectacles on, of course.

I seem to remember Sansom scoring against Arsenal at Highbury I was there that day albeit a youngster. My memory is a bit vague but I think he bombed down the wing and belted it in for a rare victory for us?

I think he would have been excellent, i was at Highbury when Sansom scored, we all went mad and a guy on the terrace next to me dropped his glasses and i (accidently) trod on them, with all the jumping around, and broke them, if you are on HOL i apologize for the accident, if my memory is correct the game finished 1-1 with Gerry Francis (donut boy) at the time. missing a penalty.

I was present and correct at the game.
I do believe that the match ended 1-1 and David Fry was in goal for us.

Definitely 1-1, I was there as well, but I was in an Arsenal enclosure down the front and missed our goal because the police were standing in the way

No you’ve not got rose tinted specs in, of course you’re right, he could’ve played wing back, what was I thinking even slightly questioning it? 😀 he might even have got a few more goals than the 3 he did score for us

I missed that as well because of the bloody police, all the adults kept shouting at them that the kids couldn’t see down the front, but like your typical 70’s plod they just laughed and didn’t give a fcuk
