Talking about goalhangers, can anyone remember other names for the positions that players play?
eg. Sir bobby hope was called a schemer.

5 midfielders .....and2/3 alternate pushing in to the cf role

Wing halfâ€™s , played either side of the Center half, inside forwards played either side of the centre forward

Long time ago now

If anyone is interested in why these positions faded out of fashion, I recommend "inverting the pyramid" by Jonathan Wilson. Really interesting read.

I believe the Hungarians started the system . When they beat England 6-3 at Wembley in the 50,s

Hungary used a 2-3-3-2 formation. Almost a reversal of the WM formation that England used.

Playground specials
Rush back goalie, and no mater what the score 'next one's the winner' and of course jumpers for goalposts!
