Paul Warhurst

Didn't Blackburn have one recently that we looked at?


Decent list so far

Another Norwich one but I think Gary Doherty started out as a forward at Spurs.

EDIT: Just seen Herbs beat me to this one.

No Philip I am not having that


Obviously we know about his striking exploits at Leicester and Wimbledon and he was talking to us on Life's a Pitch last year and said he played centre-half at a game at Leeds in the Premier League before John Lyall switched things around as he was losing out to Brian Deane in the air.

Kevin Beattie's another for the list, was a striker when he came here. I seem to recall he scored six or something similar for the youths against Cambridge on one occasion.

Not a striker, but John Wark - goalscoring midfielder and reliable centre back later in time, if that counts?

Edit: hadn't seen Dyland's mention already, but I'd agree should be on the list!

That's enough reason for me to see him included.

Those of us of a certain age will remember the finest example of a player equally at home at centre half and centre forward, and that was John Charles.

I don't remember Sol Campbell ever starting upfront in a competitive game, I think I remember reading that in the youths he was a striker though.


I'm sure he either started but probably came on as a sub up front against us when we drew 1-1 in the 93-94 season at White Hart Lane

John Wark on 10:48 - Aug 14 by Bluefish

Hmm controversial but he is a versatile midfielder opposed to a a striker or cb


I am certain Warky started some games as a centre forward-not sure in which of his spells here but I am sure he did.

Danny Higginbotham. We stuck him up front once whilst chasing a game, can't remember which one. Wonderful, wonderful times, and what a way we've come.


On that basis Mogga was a great target man! That knockdown for magilton was sublime!

Didn’t Omar Sowunmi come through our academy as a centre half and then Yeovil signed him as a striker?

I'm not sure Bramble played upfront past U17's/18's, Phil or Joe will be able to offer more clarification probably.

I seem to recall being told that one of our strikers had to fill in as a defender sometime in the late 70s, either Viljoen or Whymark I think, and said afterwards it was easier than playing up front as they only had to clear the ball.

Titus played a year below me at Kesgrave and he was a Striker, an absolute monster of a striker, think he bagged over 80 one season but to be fair he was physically stronger than his peers, he could have easily played U16's aged 12.

Don't think he ever played up front once he joined Town though.
