erik bo andersen 0 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I seem to remember Mark Hateley playing a game vs Kilmarnock (lost 1-0) at the end of 93-94 season as a Centre half. Was just wondering was this a one off or was Walter planning on using him more in that position? Bearing in mind big dunc was maybe gonna get a run of games up top for the new season. Seemed a crazy idea to play him CB when he'd scored 30 goals that season. Any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Might have been a good idea, that is until he played there, let's just say that he was no DJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An entire religion and culture has been built based around Hateley's appearance at CB against Kilmarnock, so aye it seems reasonable to be questioning why it happened.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hateley seemed to think he could move there when he lost his pace, and extend his career. It was a bad idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLaudrup 4,568 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 He often spoke about wanting to move into defence later in his career (I think as another poster said there was chat in his book 'Top Mark' about it). Idea was his strength and ability in the air would be an asset in that position when his pace began to go. Left the club before it ever became a reality.
