Nicky Reid for 95% of his time at Ewood was a central midfielder. He slotted in at right back occasionally when Chris Price played further forward.

Some of John Waddington's goals will have come from midfield or even up front - seem to recall a 35yd screamer he hit at Burnden Park from midfield c1980 in a 4-2 defeat

Crompton did well playing on after WWII.......

My mistake

I take it Sutton doesn't count then?

Bill Eckersley also did score 21 goals from LB in 432 apps

Wow - look at MacNamee's strike rate for a centre half. No-one who saw him score from the centre circle with an almighty toe-bunger will ever forget that one

Florida - I'd add Kevin Hird. Although Hird started as a midfielder he spent most of his time at full back and scored 21 goals from 149 appearances. Also not clear about whether old fashioned half backs should count as defenders but I think so. If so Ronnie Clayton (16 goals from 665 appearances) and Mick McGrath (12 goals from 312 appearances) should be added.
