I'm old enough to remember Maurice Owen (vaguely), Ken McPherson and Mel Nurse. All pretty dominant in the air from what I remember.

The first CB pair I remember was Mel Nurse with Stan Harland.
Nurse subsequently was replaced but Frank Burrows in 1968 - Burrows and Harland was a strong pairing - as were Calderwood and Taylor.
Context is important too - pitches were very different, balls heavier and games more physical - some tackles which would get a straight red card today would not even have brought a free kick in those days. Defending in the modern game requires a very different skill set from those days.
Adge referred to Maurice Owen - I never saw h8m play, but I vaguely recall him being the “trainer” in the 70’s after Harry Cousins retired.

I remember that goal but those Flitcroft/Brown seasons were absolutely desperate. |

Didn't he do one of the more interesting LSPod player interviews? Quite severe MH issues, from memory.

Genuinely gutted for Lyden playing at that level. There's a Championship midfielder in there if only he could stay fit. |

Talented player but you could tell his heart wasn't in it. Got sent off when Barnet trounced us 4-0 at the County Ground. He did a loathed strangers interview where he talked a lot about the mental health issues he faced while being a footballer, seems like Swindon was the final straw for his career and he decided to do something else which seems to make him very happy! |

Paul Downing was on trial here in the summer wasn't he? |
