Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba has revealed he's played as a striker in the past as manager Sam Allardyce utilises him in the relegation battle run-in.

He said: "I don't think the manager means scare with my personality but I think I can do what he wants.

"I have played as a striker so I'll definitely try to contribute. If the manager wants me to be more offensive, I will.

"If I can contribute one goal here or there it would be very important, like last year when I scored the winner against Spurs.

"I hope I will score an even more important one this year. It may not be a pretty one but I hope the best is yet to come."
