Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A wingback is a member of a football, i.e. soccer team. They play on the left or right wing (that's one or other side of the pitch only), and combine 2 roles. They act as defenders, but also seek to move forward to attack where possible. However, moving forward can create a gap in defence ... when the team the wingback is pressing against launches a speedy counter-attack on the break, and gets behind the wingback. 5, record 2, English, - wingback
