Best left back we’ve ever had?

In the old days I would have said Phil Warman. But there’s only one SCP, surely? In fact this thread will sink as it’s not even a discussion.

Some might say Hermann or Konchesky. Old gits like me would name check John Hewie or Warman as you've already mentioned. Not that that makes you an old git!!
What I would say is that throughout the 60 years I've followed the Club our left backs have been decent generally.
I think SCP is the best I've seen in all that time so agree with you.2 -
I heard it once claimed that Hewie and Frank Lock was the best full back pairing in the country0

Hewie would have played right back in that pairing presumably as I believe Lock was a left back although he was before my time so I might be wrong there.Blackheathen said:I heard it once claimed that Hewie and Frank Lock was the best full back pairing in the country0 -
He was pretty good too. And survived a chest-height crash into the Anfield dugout.DaveMehmet said:Mark Reid2 -
Phil Warman never took prisoners and was a real terrier. Scott Minto has to be up there though too.4

Oh no, how could I have forgotten the lovely Scott? Rumbled.1

Frank was a top class left back who got a number of representative honours before being sold to Liverpool in the early fifties along with Johnny Evans. Our ex skipper Don Welsh was by then Liverpool manager.1 - Sponsored links:

We have had some very tidy left backs but Don Townsend and Mark Reid were my favourites.
The best player ever to play left back for us was Eddie Firmani. Made his debut there against Blackburn. I think it was Blackburn. Lol0 -
Can I throw Paul Konchesky into the mix!2

Djimi Traore wasa shrewd bit of business7

.
misread the question
no idea if not SCP
the only charlton - england player in my life time
so arguably best player i've ever seen live.
Best manager as well2 -
the the other thread seems to suggest it is one of the players you watched aged 15-200

This question is a complete joke and a waste of everyone’s time. Other than myself, SCP is in a league of his own as a man, footballer, manager and last of all, but also most of all, as a left back

Rhys wiggins
Anthony Barness
johnnie jackson
were all worthy of a mention0 -
Mark Reid or SCP.3

We’ve had some very good left backs. Mark Reid was a real favourite, but can’t look beyond SCP.2

Scottie Minto of course0

Powelly or Konchesky for me.0

I always liked Mark Reid. I’m not sure how anyone can compare Phil Warman and Brian Kinsey with him; they were both decent but average second division full-backs.0
-
Powell by a mile - I think people have forgotten how good he was. Konchesky rarely played full back for us and when he did , he wasn’t that good . Curbs thought he was better in midfield and I agree .7
-
Powell.
Close the thread8 -
Konchesky? Was terrible at left back, like him as a left midfielder.
my favorite will always be SCP but I really liked Rhoys Wiggins in the 11/12 season.2 -
Reid, Minto and Powell3

A clear top 3 IMO but I’d give Mark Bowen a shout outside of thatshirty5 said:Reid, Minto and Powell
