Someone help me out with a Palace Scottish right back please. I have it in my head that inside forward Johnny McNichol reverted to full back in his latter years, Chris. In answer to the O.P.: Jim Cannon. The reasons are self explanatory.
Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link] |

I know I'm getting into real pernickety detail here, but my memory tells me that McNichol played number 6, with Terry Long at 4. I still have the programmes from those years, but not the energy to locate and get out the relevant storage box. I think you're correct in saying that McNichol then appeared in both full-back positions. Had he played on, would he have gone in goal?!

I wasn't being entirely serious with that suggestion. But I do vividly recall him flinging himself in goalkeeper style, arms outstretched, across the goal at the Whitehorse end, in a vain attempt to prevent a goal. If he'd stopped the shot, a penalty would obviously have been awarded, but in those days I don't think he would have been sent off. Right or wrong? That raises the question, if a defender (in the modern era) gets a hand to a goal-bound shot but fails to stop the ball going into the net, does he get red-carded? After all, he hasn't - despite his efforts - denied the opposition a scoring opportunity.
