I'm trying think of a winger who could cross a ball well over the years and I'm struggling. I can think of some full backs but after Sam Lawrie who has been consistently good. How long before Len Glover replies?
Of course, Mike Kenning could speed past the full backs, but the crosses were a bit random. Bob Curtis could always knock in a good ball. Now, what about Ralph Milne?
I never saw Len Glover play. Keefy Peacock was an excellent crosser, both when he played as a winger and then from midfield positions. Powell was good as well
Came over to take a corner in front of the north-east quadrant- got a round of applause, think he clapped back, put the ball on the D went to take it, must have slipped a bit, (but not much) as he took it and the ball just went behind for a goal kick to shouts of "Hughsie- Hughsie"

Lenny Glover was a great winger and a superb crosser of the ball!
He was my favourite player when I was a kid.
Used to love John Salako's crosses as well. He'd try from wherever he was on the pitch. Half way line? Doesn't matter, cross it!!
especially his last corner at the Valley! ;-)

Very very funny.

Johnny umph was one of the better full backs at crossing we've had.
Bowyer whipped a ball in well too
Chris Brunt at West Brom .....we've conceded goals from 3 of his pinpoint crosses.
