I always liked watching Martin Scott. However, Darren Barnard and Jim Brennan went on to play in the premier league. I believe we sold Barnard for £750,000 and Brennan for 1.5 million.

22A Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I've been watching since 1969. For me our best full back was Brian Drysdale. Looking back though; the 1952 signing Jack White played 225 games. Initially as a half back, later as a right back. When City played Blackpool in the Cup in 1959 Stanley Matthews failed to score and struggled to even pass the ball both at AG and in the replay because he was marked by Mike Thresher. Presumably Tuft & James the 1905-06 full backs were a useful pair. 28 goals conceded in 38 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glastonred Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 For me it probably has to be Bradley Orr and Mickey Bell. However I don't think anybody has mentioned Adam Locke, who I thought was an excellent full back. Anybody know what ever happened to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks never remember seeing him at fullback. I do know his brother was a centre forward in the old first division, I think with Newcastle. We often used to say we wish we had the brother at City!

wookey Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 As others have said there is no droubt that Mike Thresher was our greatest ever Left Back. Every winger was shoulder charged by MT over the line the first time he got the ball and they never came back for more. As Norman Hunter said hit them in the first few minutes and the ref will do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Left back: Bell Right back: Orr Would have to say fullback has been one of our better positions over the years with Llewellyn, Scott, Barnard, Bell, Locke, Brennan, Carey (played rb with murray under wilson), Orr, Cunningham and even Ayling who was brilliant for us in L1. Not to forget McAllister who was just solid for us under LJ at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
