Always a big fan of Steve Ridley when he filled in at the back.

Liked Maxy. Dependable.
Lee Rogers often played left back, loved cutting back on to his right though. Always sold the winger.
Paul Edwards. Great left back. Rapid.
NWA- solid bright future in the game.
Chris Buttler- liked him a lot, more for this attitude than ability. Always gave 100% and looked like he cared. thought he would captain us one day.
Paul Robertson- classy.
Gareth Jellyman- nah.
Out of all them...I'd go Maxfield from my generation anyway.

Carlos Logan was decent enough too.

Indeed Allan - who was the other full back at the time? Andy Forbes?

Not as old as you Dave, I only remember Higgins being the right back when Brockbank was left back, probably watched earlier but too young to rememberLancaster Branch wrote:Indeed Allan - who was the other full back at the time? Andy Forbes?

Re: The best Left Full-Back in our Non-League days?
We've had some good 'uns. Barry Knowles back in the early 80's was very classy. It's so long ago now I'm even questioning whether he was a LB or RB, but I think he was a leftie. Tony Chilton was one of the most fearless defenders ever. Maxy I remember was a great crosser and corner-taker. Always gave 100%, and with his ball-playing quality would have made a good midfielder...if the team he played in hadn't had so many quality midfielders! As for Nick Anderton..... I thought he looked outstanding pre-leg break when he played more as an overlapping LB, but latterly, in a more defensive role, to me he looked steady, but not outstanding. Replaceable.

Indeed, although he had many doubters. One of the most frustrating players ever to grace HS, but hugely talented. Outstanding at Wembley.Lancaster Branch wrote:Carlos Logan was decent enough too.

Don't risk a challenge by going to Hawkeye on that one, Moonwatcher. He was as leftie as Laver.Moonwatcher wrote:We've had some good 'uns. Barry Knowles back in the early 80's was very classy. It's so long ago now I'm even questioning whether he was a LB or RB, but I think he was a leftie.

No mention of Tommy Cahill?
Only made 282 appearances. 1955-1965.
Solid as a Rock, alongside Brian Arrowsmith.
A Scot. transferred to Barrow from Newcastle.

Maybe that was in our League days, but still worth a mention.
