JABO Ibehre is the man most likely to be found alongside Michael Ricketts in the Walsall forward line tomorrow.
The powerful front-runner made his Football League debut at the age of 17 at Leyton Orient and went on to play more than 250 times for the Londoners.

He joined Walsall on a free transfer in the summer on a one-year contract. He netted on his debut
at Yeovil, but has managed just three more goals since.

Stephen Hughes is a midfielder with a sweet left-foot who played 80 times for Arsenal after graduating through the club's fabled youth set-up.

He could never hold down a regular first-team spot at Highbury though, but that didn't stop Everton paying £3 million for him in 1999.

Centre-back Anthony Gerrard is a cousin of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. He was harshly sent off against Posh during a 5-0 Walsall win two seasons ago – referee Jarnail Singh also sent off Guy Branston and Paul Carden in the same match.

Goalkeeper Clayton Ince is a Trinidad and Tobago international who made his name in this country at Crewe. Walsall snapped the 35 year-old up from Coventry City.

Left-back Paul Boertian has played in the Premier League with Derby. Midfielder Dwayne Mattis once scored a spectacular winning goal for Huddersfield at London Road.

FORMER Posh manager John Barnwell was in charge at Walsall when the club were relegated into Division Four at the end of the 1989-90 season.

WALSALL'S record signing has stood for 29 years. The club have never paid more than the £175,000 they spent on striker Alan Buckley in 1979.
