Neal

Yates McCombe (C) Pilkington Dickinson

JMW Morsy Grant Marshall

Richards Pope 

I didn't want to pick Yates but Gibbons hasn't achieved enough and I haven't seen any other good RBs. 

I'm guessing Aspin and Swan were in the emotion column.

Out of interest KR, did you (or anyone else for that matter) ever see Ronnie Allen play for Vale? 

My old man used to tell me he was a hell of a player. Also, through work, I used to know a Baggies fan who described Ronnie as the finest player he ever saw play for West Brom. That's some praise. 

Saw Ronnie Allen play on the Old Rec in Hanley,  my favourite player  heartbroken as a lad when he was transferred. A winger at the Vale then a deep lying centre forward  with the Baggies,  which reduced his England chances.  Leading goal scorer in the old Div 1 at least one season.  Saw him play a few times for WBA who were one of the big teams at the time challenging for the top spot .

Did you see Bill McGarry play at the Old Rec?  Was he as good as my father said he was?  He thought he was the best header of a football, given his lack of height, he had seen. He had the rare ability to hover at the top of his jump.

Saw him play at the Old Rec and VP. He seemed to have springs in his legs and could easily out head taller players,  Great  tackler and played for England in the 1954  World Cup. Allen and King were also in the initial World Cup selection tour, but did not make the finals.
