Ross Tokely was a central midfielder a la Blackie when he signed for us from Huntly as a 17-year-old. He was originally played in that position, though he suffered a back injury in only his second game for us, a pre-season friendly away to Peterhead in the Buchan Cup, which ruled him out for the remaining pre-season. Can't remember exactly when he switched to RB, but must have been around the time Iain MacArthur (who was a fantastic RB and would easily get into our first team if he were playing now) had to give up through injury.
