[teccomin]

Anyone can enlighten me with older generation players? Heres as far as I could remember:

RB
Cafu, Thuram, Neville, Zanetti

LB
Maldini, Roberto Carlos, Lizarazu, Zambrotta

[DannySene]

Modern day: Left back Maldini, Roberto Carlos Wing back
Right back Thuram, Cafu Wing Back

Older generation: Left back Camacho, Brehme wing back
Right back Schnellinger, Carlos alberto wing back

Raton Ayala that c__ks__ker cost us the championship single handedly. Great fullback, well he certainly chose the wrong friggin' game to commit his 2 greatest blunders costing the argie nat'l team a much needed title.

[Perú FC]

Right: Carlos Alberto (Brazil), Cafú (Brazil), Djalma Santos (Brazil), Nelinho (Brazil), Wim Suurbier (Holland), Berti Vogts (Germany), Eric Gerets (Belgium), Manuel Amorós (France), Javier Zanetti (Argentina), Lilian Thuram (France).
Left: Silvio Marzolini (Argentina), Roberto Carlos (Brazil), Paolo Maldini (Italy), Giacinto Facchetti (Italy), Nilton Santos (Brazil), Andreas Brehme (Germany), Antonio Cabrini (Italy), José Antonio Camacho (Spain), Roberto Carlos (Brazil).

Phil Neal (RB) and Emlyn Hughes (LB, and also a DM) were outstanding full-backs and should be added to these lists.

LB: Ruud Krol (Holland) and Paul Breitner (West Germany). The latter also played as an AM.

Amoros was a left back. For France, either Maxime Bossis or Patrick Battiston would play at right-back.

[JuveFE]

Giuseppe Bergomi- Played both CB and RB and was great for inter and his time on the national team.

[NorthernBoy]

Manny Kaltz and Paul Breitner - do they get any better than those two ?

[dor02]

Claudio Gentile and Antonio Cabrini, Italy's full-backs in the 1982 World Cup. ;)

Amoros was right back but could play at the other place too. Battiston and Bossis were center backs. On the left were Ayache and Tusseau.

I can't remember a great French left full back before Lizarazu. :o Maybe Gérard Janvion from the great St-Etienne's team in the 70's.

Roger Marche ! (I know it's a long time ago...)

Concerning Amoros he played the WC86 as a left back and as such he was named best defender of the tournament.

Roger Marche ! (I know it's a long time ago...)

Concerning Amoros he played the WC86 as a left back and as such he was named best defender of the tournament.That's why I thought Amoros was always a left-back. From the France matches I've seen in that era, he played in that spot.
