A left-back left looking frustrated by the lack of cover at Newcastle United. Doesn't that sound familiar?
Take your mind back to April 1996 and John Beresford's first half substitution when the full-back was taken off after clashing with Kevin Keegan during a slender win over Aston Villa during the title race and the story is well known in these parts. Back then Beresford felt he was left exposed by David Ginola's lack of tracking back.
Beresford is quoted in Chronicle archives addressing the dilemma: "With Ginola, there were games, especially away from home, when we had to carry him. It's well documented he didn't track back too much."
