Keith Newton was on teh right back list, although I thought he played left back? (Having said that, I voted for him thinking that I must be losing my memory ...)

nominations at this stage, ready for den to sort out the poll.

Naming the left backs you remember or know about helps den having to search.

Le Saux was my favourite Rovers player when I was younger. He was also a superb footballer. He gets my vote.

Bill (Telescopic Leg) Eckersley for me.
Bill had a long run as England left back despite playing for a 2nd division team (Rovers).
Extremely loyal (He could have had his pick of the 1st division teams but chose to stick with Rovers) and was way before his time with his ability to dribble all the way up to the opposition penalty area. Superb ball control and his party piece was that if a player went past him he could extend his left leg behind him and nick the ball away, clean as a whistle, leaving the other player looking around him wondering where the hell the ball had gone. This earned him the 'telescopic leg' tag.
Very entertaining to watch and a dependable full back.
Has my vote every time.

Bill should win this by a mile.

In terms of ability, I'd vote for Le Saux, but is this the only criteria?
