So where did Billy Gilbert play? If the Team of the Eighties' back four was along the lines of Sansom (LB), Cannon & Fenwick at CB and Hinchelwood at RB... Apols if some now think this should be filed under "Nostalgia." In the original post I didn't bother asking who our best full-back was, assuming KS to have been peerless.

In those days the formation was more 2-3-5 The 2 were Hinshelwood and Samsom.Fullbacks. The 3 were Nicholas,Cannon and Billy Gilbert. Gilbert was No 6.So a Centre Half like Delaney.

His partner at left back in 68/69 was John Loughlan a signing from Morton. The following season Peter Wall was left back. Tony Taylor was also signed from Morton as a winger but played later on in the 1st div (now prem) as a left back. Colin Taylor also a winger played for us also in 68/69 but never played the following season for us after being in our promotion winning team. Those were the days :-)

Flanagan was never part of that classic team was he? He was also incredibly sh11te. Was bought along with Gerry Francis in the close season after winning Division 1. We were good up until Xmas then we lost 0-3 at Liverpool and 0-3 in successive games. Freefall after that all the way to Steve Coppell turning up. The winning team v Burnley was supposed to be the team of the eighties I thought? 6 youth players plus Cannon, Doris, Burridge and Swindles and Kember.
