Emeka Ifejiagwa was under contract for a year in 1998/99 but never played a first team game. However, his first name and surname meet the above criteria - do I win £5?
Sorry, got called away unexpectedly so unable to respond....
Slight cock up on my part as I used an old list of players so Onyewu and Etheridge slipped through my net. Mikel Alonso never quite made it to the first team as far as I know. I counted El Hadji Ba as Ba (rightly or wrongly) so didn't include him.
So, still two to get if you keep to 1970 onwards - not too many left who remember Bobby Ayre.

just asked one of the guys from facilities and that was the first name he came out with! (well before my time)
You are quite right, of course. I am sure when Mikel is an old man, he will be telling his grandchildren about the day he played for Charlton in the JPT.
