6. Ian Roper

Working his way up through the ranks at Bescot Stadium Ian Roper is a solid no-nonsense centre half who signed professional forms with the club in May 1995, he has given 10 years of passionate service for The Saddlers and was well rewarded with his two testimonial games in pre-season.

 

Roper is strong and dominant in the air and strong in the challenge, he is a reliable figure in the back 4 and has been a key part of the Walsall squad over the years.

 

He picked up the 2002/03 Player of the Year award to ass to the Young Player of the Year prize that he earned a couple of years before. The unassuming 28 year-old is an important member of the back 4 who has done well to get his Saddlers career back on track having fallen out with former boss Ray Graydon, which saw him put on the transfer list.
