This was inspired by Henry's quiz earlier today which reminded me of Mike Kenning playing badly at left back. I'm not including late tactical changes or comical situations such as a limping David Shipperley playing on the wing as a passenger. A few come to mind: Mike Kenning - of course John Hewie - of course he played every where Paul Went - played centre forward
At Orient Paul Went was regarded as a striker and central defender, a versatile John Charles clone ! At the valley he was generally used as a defender who was good at corners. I always had a suspicion that Bob Stokoe who signed him, saw Paul as more of a striker but Eddie Firmani played him almost exclusively as a defender. Paul Went and Billy Walker, the east end blonde bombshells.
robert lee played as a striker once or twice!! then we had david campbell as right winger!! didnt dean chandler come on as sub and play up front once!?

Didn't Chris Powell play his last game for us in centre midfield after coming on as a sub?
Scored too! Coventry wasn't it?
Aye
