Would Gary Connolly not have been a better choice? He clearly was a top class full-back before his move to centre.

Good call, but he is still known more as a centre.

I did consider Steve Prescott and David Lyon (who I thought was very under rated) also Austin Rhodes.

Lyon was a very competant full back, but IIRC Prescott took his chance when he was injured.

In terms of giving the speccies their money's worth, Prescott is one of the best I've seen. Very classy full back.

rogues i guess you have forgot about wellens and martyn then

You have now given the troll what he wants. Well done.

I'm too young to have seen Austin play but my Dad often raves about him. Good shout re: Prescott but I'd still put Connolly ahead of him. As to Lyon, he was a very good FB but probably on a par with Vievers overall.

Wellens, like Radlinski, has never been a truly top class full back.

Club greats yes, game greats? Alas not.

Isn't the thread about club greats?.

It is. I'm not sure he's the best full back this club has ever seen though.

From players ive seen (nb i saw Meninga but dont think he was at Saints enough to warrant a position, same also for Fairleigh, need more than be a 1 season wonder)
