Full Backs

First their were the goalkeepers Walker, Williams and Parkes. Now the full back results are in !

 

The four players chosen for the full back positions were well ahead of those who failed to break in to the squad this season.

Only 2 per-cent separates the four most popular choices.

Here are the players you have chosen....

 Brian Caswell (D RLC/M RL) Walsall Historian Geoff Allman calls him Walsall's greatest ever utility player. Key figure in Milk Cup run of the early 80's.  Always looked like he could have played at a higher level, but only got his chance very late in his career.

Colin Harrison (DR/L, M) Made 529 record appearances for the Saddlers between 1963-81, one of our greatest ever servants.  Could play almost anywhere, and did!  A very cultured footballer.

Diego (Gino) Padula (LB).  A controversial choice, following his desire to leave the club as soon after relegation as possible, but he was still one of the best left backs we  have seen  as Walsall fans.  The little Argentinean was quick and skilful, whether defending or going forward, and was a great loss to the side.  Now playing for QPR.

Chris Marsh (DR, Utility) This guy needs no introduction to Walsall fans. He played in every position for the Saddlers but will always be remembered for the right back slot he made his own during the mid to late 1990s. Highlights include a key goal in the promotion game against Oldham in 98/99 ,hiding the club mini bus while training at Lilleshall and that goal which nearly knocked Leeds out of the cup in 94/95.
