I think you’ll find they were in direct competition, as due to his over inflated price tag, it seemed that Maybank quite often had to be found a place in the team quite often at the expense of Ryan.
As for Malcolm Poskett, perhaps one of the most underrated players ever to wear the stripes. No...
I know the North Stand allegiance was split back in the 70’s, however on reflection who had the biggest impact?
I mostly remember Maybank’s free kick equaliser at Luton in front of the massed ranks of Albion fans. However, I’d go with Ryan for ending Cloughie’s 59 unbeaten run at home.
