ericblack4boss Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I was reading an article from the mid 80s abd ian angus was mentioned as a" utility player"Got me thinking does such a player exist nowadays I can only think of Angus. Willie. Falconer. And to an extent paul mason as our last said player. Link to comment

BWG Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 O'Connor is the closest thing we have to a Utility player I'd say. One of these strange terms. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Stuart DuffDerek Young Jimmy loved a utility man. Aye, Jimmy has pretty much a whole team of them I seem to recall. Helps when your spinning the tombola. Link to comment

Zeus Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 David Grassi could play left back, centre back and left wing BHH Link to comment
Redstar Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Josh Magennis is the ultimate utility player...damn fine impact sub to boot... Link to comment
thomsod Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Could Shinnie not class as one? Can do a job in a number of positions. Link to comment
OddJob Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Could Shinnie not class as one? Can do a job in a number of positions.Aye but he's not shite tho Link to comment
ShinnieFGS Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I think the term 'utility player' is the polite way of saying "they're not great anywhere but we don't have any other options so they'll play there today". Chris Clark, Derek Young, Stuart Duff, Ricky Foster etc etc. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Danny Griffin. A stop gap signing from The King. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Maloney could become one. He can play wide, through the middle but also spends a lot of time wider still on the bench & on the physio's table Link to comment
shut up meg Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 DempoIs that Gary Dempsey, arrived as an amateur and continued like one all through his Aberdeen career. Link to comment

True_Don Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Kari Arnason, kind of. Heikinnen. McNaughton, pretty sure he played every position in defence for us. Link to comment
360 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 VERRRRRRNO Had a stint at centre mid, did he not? Great times Link to comment
slinkyvagabond Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Foster. Played both FB positions and occasionally central defence and in midfield as a man marker. Obvious one would be Deek Young. Played RB, CM, LM, prob RM and CF. Prob all in the same game. Link to comment
slinkyvagabond Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Vernon at CM was indeed a strange one. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Eoin Jess was a bit of a utility player.Must have played every position for the team apart from defence and goalkeeper. Link to comment
BWG Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Vernon at CM was indeed a strange one.GWT - tactical genius. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Scored at Parkhead from centre mid. Vernon ❤ Link to comment
