    Andy Jones was one of Lennie's rare poor signings. We lost a lot of money when we eventually unloaded him and he drifted down the leagues ending up at the O's I think.

    He came in very handy in the league cup game at Hereford, though, when they had 6 Jones's and we could only counter with the one!

    it seems that Sam L has got Notts Co well and ruly 'Charltonised' and left the virus at Leeds who conceded 7 against the Treemen tonight
    Uncanny, joins a winning team that had just trounced us, and immediately they crash to 2 defeats against the Sheffield Clubs!

    Well, not Paul Benson.

    Even though he's playing a division lower for Swindon, he's still racked up an impressive 8 goals from just 13 League matches.

    I must concede that my grandfather, Fred Lucas, flopped rather badly at Palarse. Ended up rowing with the club over him not being able to play due to a leg injury he sustained. However, is that a bad thing (to flop at *THEM*)?
    Thanks for making me feel old!

    I watched your grandfather play!

    Gordon Watson came through the ranks in the early nineties and looked a great prospect. Went to the Wendies (and Southampton?) and quickly disappeared.
    Bit harsh. Played in Europe for Wednesday, went to Soton for over £1m and had some good spells for both. Filthy tackle by some Huddersfield thug ended his career (Watson successfully sued him).Smart bloke actually, judging by his occasional slots as a radio pundit.
    Story from years ago, happened to be staying at the same hotel as the team. Lennie Lawrence was at breakfast with the coaching team at a table next to mine. Someone said to Lennie, "You'll never guess, boss, Gordon's only reading the Financial Times."
    Lennie's response was "Gordon who?"

    Am I right in remembering that killer Hales didn't make it at West Ham, and came back ?

    If it's considered that scoring 10 goals in 24 games for a team that was getting relegated is "not making it", then yes.

    Amazed by Yassin Moutaouakil's decline. He looked like he could have been a very good player for us in the beginning and even played for the French U21 team. He's still relatively young so I'm surprised that he hasn't been able to pick up a team at at least League One level.

    nicky bailey hardly set the world alight after leaving.
  • ScohamScoham
    Bailey is now a defensive midfielder at Boro, not flopped at all.

    Jon Fortune, went to Sheff Utd but couldn't break into their team.
  • dave85dave85
    bailey has been injury proned and playing poorly now fit.

    Bailey has been one of Middlesbroughs players of the season..
  • dave85dave85
    good for him
  • johnny73johnny73
    Ok not a flop but I've been disappointed in the career of lee bowyer. Thought he had the ability to be a top international player.
  • pickwickpickwick
    Hales' flop was at Derby where he went on good money in 1976 only lasting a year then went to West Ham before coming home at West Ham he scored 10 in 24 appearences so not a flop there really.
  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    Darren Bent. He's hardly set the world alight has he... thought he would be scoring for Real Madrid or another other big club by now.
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    Marcus Bent has doen nothing much of note since leaving us, and is apparently now playing in Indonesia...(he's only 33 )
  • March51March51
    I seem to remember Killer went to Derby when they were struggling: they sacked the manager who signed him (Colin Murphy?) and brought in Tommy Docherty who didn't reckon him and sold him to West Ham.

    Marcus bent was shite before he came and whilst he was with us, only ever played well against us.

    Sankofa has now gone to Eastleigh. Surprisingly he's still only 27, as it seems an eternity since he played for us
