Has player ever started midfield, forward and CB

[NickG]

Scneiderlin has now started games for us as CB, CM and a forward

[Colinjb]

Total football in a nutshell.

[Matthew Le God]

as colinjb said total football, most of our players are interchanging position throughout the game

 

the two wingers, striker and "in the hole man" all swap alot throughout and the wingers and full backs interchange a little

[NickG]

yea but its one thing a winger playing either side etc but must be pretty unusual for player to start games - only 5 games gone, as fairly deep central midfield, CB and forward -not just swapping during game

Yep it is. Unlikely many have done this over such a short period. Shows what quality he has. If we don't get promotion this season I don't see him staying long as he is far too good for the Championship.

Kenwyne Jones joined us as a centre half, made his debut as a right winger (at Brum and was awful) and made a name for himself up front.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure Wright played in every possition except striker and goalkeeper. Not sure about centre half though.

[NickG]

yea -Jones was bit like others finding their position over time -can't wait until we have keeper sent off when we have risked no sub keeper to see how good Schniederlin is in goal

[Minsk]

I'm pretty sure that I saw Hick Holmes play in every position on the pitch, except goalkeeper, for Saints.

 

But this was, of course, in the days when clubs and much smaller squads and were only allowed one sub.

Rudi? Im pretty sure he was played "in the hole" behind Rasiak for 1 game...

[phillo]

I think Jo Tessem managed to played front, middle and back but I am happy to stand corrected

I can definitely remember him playing up front, in midfield and at RB, I'm not sure he played at CB or not.

[phillo]

Ah.....you are probably right Minsk - I confess I was thinking of the back four as a whole. I stand corrected!

Yep, I believe it was a midweek game against Wednesday. IIRC he took the ball past 2 defenders, before scoring after 3 minutes, only to have it (rightly) disallowed for handball.

 

Tessem is also correct, what about Euell? I remember him playing in defence against Bury in the cup, although he didn't start.

[SNSUN]

Not one of our players (though I have been racking my brains :-)) but Steve Watson used to play all over for Newcastle. Principally a right back, he was also utilised in midfield and in emergencies as a striker too.

 

Darren Purse likewise, although he's now settled as a defender.

 

It may just be faded memory but I think Alan Neilson used to play in different positions for us...

Rory Delap

 

Primarily a midfielder, played up front when we beat Liverpool in the relegation season and was used as a RB thereafter.

The game that Prutton scored in? I dont remeber him being up front 9mind you, my mind if all over the place)
