I used to kick, sorry play against Owen Archdeacon who went on and played for Celtic in the 80's. Steve McCahill too, anyone remember him ? He played for Dumbarton on the Saturday V Celtic in the cup, had a good game, and they signed him on the Monday. I played in what you may call a defensive midfield role. In those days the manager never called it that. His instruction usually went something like "Right, their number ten makes everything happen, tackle him as hard as you can, as soon as you can, but don't get sent off". Which really meant, "Go out and cripple the poor bugger, the ref will either be miles away, or blind as a bat".
ahhh, the memories........
Are you looking for a 'defensive midfeilder' Struth ?
I'm yer man !
