Shezza91 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Having currently numerous left backs at the club ie. Reda, Helan, Pugh, Mattock etc. it got me thinking who is the best player we have ever had in that position that I've seen. I think most people would agree that for right back its an easy answer of Roly ahead of Zico but at left back its maybe not as clear cut. Mine would be Nigel Worthington and the partnership he had with Kingy worked really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosleyowl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 As much as I love Reda, I think it's a sad indictment of the quality we've had the past 10-12 years that most of my generation would pick him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sweet&TenderOwl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I think our best ever left back is Ernie Blenkinsop just ahead of Don Megson. Best ever I've seen in a Wednesday shirt during my lifetime is Nigel Worthington, though I loved Phil King too and Reda is immense but not in the same league as those.

Jowl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's fairly close between Irish and Kingy. But I consider them as one so i'll choose them. Andy Hinchcliffe was pretty good - for 3 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Dave Clements had a few games there,,,,think we called him "Tank"...but probably the Worthy/King interchangeable cup winning and promo combo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Ever seen or ever seen play ? Dad bought me a lemonade at the Sportsman Crosspool, be about the summer of 1957. My dad told me "This man is the best left back Wednesday ever had" as Ernest Blenkinsop stood in the doorway with him, he was then Landlord of the Sportsman. The best I ever saw play was Megson senior, Don, Garrys dad. They certainly did n't come any toougher or tackle any harder. That 5-4 epic against Manchester United Don had a great 35 yarder chalked off at the Kop end as Johnny Fanthem had strayed a couple of inches offside...Should have been 6-4.

SWFC_Liam Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm only young, sadly the best left back I think I've ever seen in the blue and white is Reda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickpottsfc Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Don Megson. Great captain, fullback and father of the greatest Wednesdayite and cult figurehead to have ever managed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Due to only going since 2003...I've got a top three of: 1. Reda 2. Spurr 3. Heckingbottom That's quite sad considering who have represented the blue and white at left back in years gone by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
