Bakayoko wins fans choice i see
As @P.T as posted on the other thread, Chris Nicholl as manager of the Saddlers NI contingent. I was struggling for an RoI manager as the choices were Sean O’Driscoll (shudder) or John Barnwell (bigger shudder) - but then I remembered that Steve Staunton didn’t manage us but he did leave to go and become their national team manager so surely that counts?
Still stuck for Welsh manager though - last one we had was nearly 100 years ago!!
Good call.
How many players have played for Walsall and managed Walsall?
Buckley
Merson
Broadhurst
Hutchings
Smith
Keates
Any more?

Doug Fraser.
Mark Kinsella took temporary charge for the last couple of games following the sacking of Kevin Broadhurst.
Not sure if Steve Staunton did a similar thing also?

John Smith
Made Andy Cook look svelte, from what I remember.
Until Billy Davies gave him a call to join him at the Tree Huggers?

Broadhurst
Edit: my bad just seen him named
How can you have left out the legend that was Andrew Barrowman, a diaster at WFC but a legend at Ross County.
Barrowman, Ngoo, Gaffney, Timm, those are the worst four Walsall strikers I can think of from this century. Have I forgotten anybody else terrible?
You do your best to - but people keep reminding you!

Ashley Grimes, Sam Parkin and Samassi Abou
Yeah, Sam Parkin was abysmal when he was with us, deserves a mention alongside my four.
