    Very good, though obviously some didn't even make the bench for one reason or another. David Tuttle for example.

    Didn't realise Stephen Hughes never made an appearance. Thought he would have at least one sub appearance

    Just remembered I'd made this thread. May as well add Roussillon now.
    Is he confirmed to have left?

    In my post Xmas malaise in trying to remember what day of the week it is, for a couple of seconds I had Bryan Hughes in my mind and obviously he played 74 games between 2004/07 and Stephen Hughes who started at Arsenal and had an impressive 49 games for the Gunners.
    I was surprised that in a whole season in 2003/04 he didn't play a single game or a sub appearance considering 3 subs could be used !
    Perhaps he had an injury in training or other reasons.
    Rotation wasn't a thing back then so our midfield was hardly ever changed from memory.

    No, just think it's safe to say we won't be seeing him.

    He didn't. Played most, if not all, of pre season I think.

    Work permit blocked it I believe, rather than a conscious decision to put him in the freezer with polish Pete and Karim bagheri

    Who was the young midfielder Dowie signed for around a £1m as some great prospect? Think he was bought from Leeds.

    Dowie signed a player for 1million.

    Can't remember his name...but don't think he had any involvement?
    Simon Walton. Great shout. 
    Played a cup game and got sent off didn't he?
    And here is the quote from the buffoon Dowie at the time:   "Simon is a talented boy and he might surprise a few people".

    In trying to remember Simon Walton I stubbled across a player called Mark Staunton. Wikipedia says we paid Celtic £110k for him and he played 43 games in 2006-07 season. Have no recollection of him ever playing for the first team, but do seem to remember a Staunton in our reserves a while back.

    Was Josh Staunton in the reserves who went on to have a solid National League career. Now head of Yeovil's U19s after retiring at 30

    Remember signing him but don't think he played at all so not sure where that number has come from.
