Wasn’t McCall originally a full back

 

Seem to remember Martin Peters was a "utility player"

 

And a guy at Leeds called Paul Madeley, Don Revie knew no matter where he played Madeley he would not look like a square peg in a round hole.

 

With a salary cap in place players who can play in several positions will be very useful just as McCardle and Vincelot were.

 

The other one that stands out (though not the same quality as Peters or Madeley) was Clayton Blackmore
Blackmore holds a top tier record that will never be beaten BTW

 

If he's as good as Martin Peters we'll all be happy!

 

He was definitely on course for scoring over twenty and if were signing him now I think most people would be happy

 

Exactly. Another play who didn't have an outright position.
Devine was played everywhere - defensive mid, right back, even left back. Chicksen the same. Perhaps its the managers fault. McCall himself started off as right back, but once he was given a chance in midfield, he held that position down and made it his own. Something Chicksen, Devine, Robinson and Mellor never did.

 

Just spat my tea out across the room

 

I suppose our only hope is nobody being willing to take on his wages.

 

Not been lazy Fordy, just repeating a rumour I've heard doing the rounds.
I don't say things just for the sake of it, EVEN when I am winding people up (something I'm well known for I am afraid).

 

Nah it's Gavin Grant,
which is about as credible as the original nonsense

 

Parky signed plenty of utility players.
Rory McArdle was signed as a right back who could fill in at CB
Nathan Doyle was considered versatile and could play at the back
Carl McHugh was considered as much a left back as CB
Will Atkinson would play anywhere across the midfield

And that's before you get onto some of the less remembered players
Curtis Good CB/RB
Ryan Dickson played anywhere on the left
Tom Naylor - utility

That was just the 2012/13 season and we all know what happened then!
No squad at this level can afford to have purely specialised cover in every position and tbh if say you are a back up specialist RB it shows that you are a) not good enough and b) can't adapt for the good of team when needed

 

Think you mean Thomas had a loan at Gills. But agree, I've seen him a couple of times and he's been decent.

 

Ipswich have been targeting Wyke, however, Parky wants to keep him.

 

He played right back a few times. Unfortunately for him he wasn't the required standard in any position.

 

Including paying half his wages as well

 

Seedorf Bronco or are you referring to Evans?

 

Yes I forgot the flying winger as @Briggus say I was alluding to Lee Evans.
