At the risk of getting slaughtered on here, I'm going with Cafu as best. Greatest ever full back of all time was Giacinto Facchetti but Paolo Maldini in my lifetime. Facchetti revolutionised the position and Maldini was born to defend. Our best ever full back is between Ernie Blenkinsop, Don Megson or Roland Nilsson but easily by far Roland Nilsson in my lifetime. Roland exuded class and was top class. Hard to believe we once had players of the pedigree of Nilsson and Waddle. Edited September 13, 2020 by The Night-Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that story, but then the next time they played, Sharpe made Roland look like an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sternlad Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Remember going to Watford to see the owls when I lived in Barnet as it was closest away venue. The whole of the Wednesday end of the ground stood and applauded/chanted when Roland Nilsson..... hobbled up the steps in the grandstand on crutches after the cruciate injury. Deffo best right back we’ve ever had, absolute Rolls Royce of a player. Top banana! Edited September 13, 2020 by sternlad Spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOWL Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Consider myself lucky enough (and old enough)to have seen two of the best defenders we've ever had in Don Megson and Roland Nilsson. Both were miles(country ones at that) better than probably the worst defender we've ever signed being Mr Blondeau. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was applauded all the way to his seat in the ground to watch the game at Watford. He acknowledged the support by waving one of his crutches from halfway up the steps to the stand.
