Players who have started games in defence, in midfield and up front

[Yorkshire Blue]

Steve Tilson
Andy Sussex
Ryan Leonard - has he actually played in defence?
Bilel Mohsni


Any more?

 

[Napster]

Loads more. Give me a bit of time.

 

[Napster]

Ok, off the top of my head:

Rob Newman
Tes Bramble
Keith Dublin

 

[chadded]

When did Tes ever start in defence?

 

[ian_the_girth]

Simon Francis?

 

[C C Csiders]

Tony Hadley is the most obvious one.

 

[Napster]

When did Tes ever start in defence?

I'm sure he has started as CB.

I'm convinced Titus played for us more than once, and Tes appeared as a centre back at Newcastle United a few times.

Yes very droll. I think I can tell them apart. Tes was a defender as a kid. I think he might have started at the back in a essex senior game.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Pretty sure that both Trevor Whymark and Warren May both played in defence and up front - not sure about midfield though

 

[Napster]

Pennyfather? Otulakowski? Donut? Gary Bennett?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Ok, off the top of my head:

Rob Newman
Tes Bramble
Keith Dublin

Er when did Tes Bramble start in defence?
When did Keith Dublin start in midfield (as opposed to be woefully out of position when playing in defence)
When did Rob Newman start in midfield for us and did he actually start a game up front?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Simon Francis?

Good shout. Did he start up front though? I think it was against Ipswich that he went up front, but that might have been during the game.


Edit: we started up front with Harrold and Eastwood. Efe and Paynter came on for those two after an hour. Francis scored after 65. I don't' think he therefore started a game up front.

1. In an ESC game I'm sure
2. When Alvin Martin played 5 across the midfield, I think Dublin was defensive midfielder
3. Maybe not midfielder, but definitely v Daggers in an Essex Senior game

I'm not letting you get away with ESC games. It'll be Mark Salter broke Arthur Rowley's all-time goalscoring record next.

I think Dubbers was just constantly out of position, but if you can name a game where he played in midfield I'll consider it.

Our own captain marvel Luke Prosser. Played a pre season friendly at Roots Hall up front ( v Norwich ? ) came on as sub in midfield at Oxford away recently + is also colossuss at the back .

He's probably about 12-1 to score at anytime tonight too:winking:

Legend.

 

[Grayson]

I don't remember Leonard playing up front. When was that? Worrying how it must have been in the past couple of years and I've already forgotten.

Done. I;m not doing anything tonight.

Wasn't meant to be droll. Tes was my favourite player, and I couldn't tell him from his brother, so Lord knows how a certain female did in a hotel room*

*That's droll!
