Fullbacks

Firstly a tune
Tim Armstrong-Into action
With the Reading full back Nicky Shorey forcing himself into the England side because of injuries and lets hope that Mr Cole stays injured as he is a totally overrated up his own arse (sometimes) knob, it got me thinking about how underrated this role in any football side is.
It is a totally unsung role but one that is crucial to any winning side.When we lost Smith last season the whole balance of the side was affected and although you can argue that one player should not make that bigger difference it did mean the difference between success and failure.
Many of my favourite players have been fullbacks.
The swashbuckling Kenny Samsom ,what a player the sort that never ever let anyone down . Dennis Irwin , absolutely Mr dependable and 100% every week and of course a player that was and still is awesome Paolo Maldini . He needs no superlatives.
I raise a glass to the great unsung full backs of the world.

Ranieri to Man City? I hope so at least that will guarantee they continue to still be underachievers and remain trophy less for another 31 years! How many years since they won a cup ? Did i say 31 years !!!
The Worth(Less)ington to the Northern Ireland national side? It's just took me twenty minutes to regain my typing skills through all of the laughter.
