In answer to your question, I can't help but feel the whole nomenclature thing is completely out of hand.

These are the only football positions

Goalkeeper
Left Back
Centre Half
Centre Half
Right Back

Winger
Midfielder

Everything else is foreign nonsense.
Clarence Clemons could have done a job in Milan's defence, I'm sure. Big chap like that? No worries.

I agree with you but with the reminder that what are often referred toi today as 'wingers' rarely are. They are generally simply wide midfield players. A true winger ends the game with his outside boot coated in chalk and plays 20 yards higher than a wide midfielder. He should also have a name like Ruel and be clinically incapable of crossing a football.
