Chair with sides

A wingback is a type of armchair with side panels extending from the back, designed originally to shield the sitter from drafts: She settled into the leather wingback by the fire.

In football, a wingback is an offensive player positioned outside the tight end, combining receiver and blocking duties in certain formations.
