Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF

In general, any player whose assigned position is the left or right instead of the center. But more specifically, refers to players whose job is to come into the attack by bringing the ball up the side line (i.e., the wings) and to send good crossing passes into the center.  7, record 1, English, - wing%20player

Pure "wingers" aren't used today as much as they used to be. "Wingers" used to be the wide forwards or midfielders (who were sometimes called "withdrawn wingers"). Wing midfielders are sometimes called "winghalfs" or "wingmids" & wing fullbacks are "wingbacks." Today, it is more common to use wingmids or wingbacks to come up to cross the ball than to have wing forwards. "Wingers" who bring the ball up the side are often very fast and excellent dribblers.  7, record 1, English, - wing%20player

The FC Metz defender was especially effective in the first half, creating all sorts of problems on the left flank by his aggressive runs and solid balls up the side. While his defensive shortcomings and speed were a factor in qualifiers last summer when the U.S. played a formation that really was without a left flank player, the addition of John O'Brien lifts Regis' play.  7, record 2, English, - left%20winger
