    As he is a big unit I assume he is a full Nelson rather than a half one.

    Also, he took penalties at New York Red Bulls according to Wikipedia, which is unusual for a right back.
    Bob Curtis and Gary Neville spring to mind.
    Gary Neville?!  Don't remember that.

    Denis Irwin (and Steve Bruce) as defenders at United yes, but Neville?

    Nelson Vivas was a right back taking a penalty that I remember fondly.
    Lee Dixon took them for Arsenal sometimes.

    Normally a good sign when a manager brings along a former player
    Not just for what they do on the pitch but its trusted eyes and ears and example setting.  They can also spell it out to team mates in basic terms.  Footballers aren't some times the brightest lot (although some are).

    No coincidence that two of the first players Curbs signed were Nelson and Gatting.

    When did Gary Neville take a penalty?

    Best Right back penalty taker was Ray Stewart at West Ham. Although Graham Alexander must have ran him close.

    That’s all I’m up to date now with my vacuous try hard jokes. This time difference is a killer for my comic timing.

    He's done nothing yet..At any club he has ever played for.. No reason at all suggest rolling in at SE7 he will suddenly become a Konchesky etc 
    That said, I'm all for giving new players total support. Ghana has clearly seen something in him from last season and believes he can make the step up. 

    Welcome Mandela Egbo.

    You know, the unbelievable left back we had. Who very rarely got in the team at left back.

    Six league starts and three assists isn’t bad going if you ask me…

    A local player that showed plenty of promise early on, made a move that didn’t work out and is having to work hard to get his career back on the track it was previously heading. 

    A very Charlton signing this.

    Let’s see what he can do before he gets an international call up.

    James Tavernier is one of the best out there at the moment

    Has 42-goals from the penalty spot and he's another Right-Back

    I believe Swindon fans sung;

    “He’s a star man, running down the right
    his name is Manny Egbo and he’s fucking dynamite”

    least we won’t have to get creative with a song

    ”I know you won’t believe us, but we’re out the Kent senior cup”

    Just seen his little interview on Twitter - really like the cut of his jib. 

    I think and hope he will be an excellent signing.

    Interesting article on his move to Germany:

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/sep/29/mandela-egbo-borussia-monchengladbach-crystal-palace

    Good to hear Palace were miffed at the low level of compensation.
    Very impressive and articulate in this interview. Clearly a thoughtful and motivated player.

    Any reason he only played 9 or so games for Swindon last year?

    Yes, he joined them in March just to get fit.
    They had injuries and he then got some games.

    Initially a good sign bringing players in early and bedding them in before the season starts.
    To quote chief wum @seriously_red










    Let's see where we are after 15 games.
