This seems to be a recurring theme on here. It reminds me of an interview given by Bob Stokoe, after Sunderland's miracle FAC run in his first season. When he joined, one of his problems was what to do with Dave Watson. Having paid a huge fee for an emerging c/h from Rotheram, the previous manager duly played him as striker. He was an effective target man. I remember he scored twice against our lightweight defenders at A/P, both headers from a corner/cross.
Stokoe said he took Watson to one side in training and asked 'where do you want to play?'
Simple as that and he rest was history.
