I’ve always been a fan of strikers who fill in at centre-back and centre-backs who live out their dreams as battering-ram forwards, momentarily set free from the shackles of defence to cause chaos in the opposition’s box. Premier League and SPL teams of the 1990s had a number of players who did a great job in this fashion: Chris Sutton, Dion Dublin, Paul Warhurst, and Ian Marshall to name but a few.

It was also happening down at Hayes Lane until a couple of seasons ago. Here, I remember a few of my favourites.
