  • Simon Francis did't do to bad after leaving us.

    Left back who left us to join Wednesday - can't remember his name for life of me but used to get lots of stick, but I thought he was ok


    Morgan Fox 
    not a bad player IMO

    Unfairly picked on by a number of fans, a treatment that was to repeated to Nick Pope and Karlan Grant, although in Pope and Grant's case I think that Roland's policy of playing players before they were ready for the  first team, so he could realise a profit quickly, played a part. 
  • Ralph Milne, overweight and unfit when he joined us but in the games leading up to the 'Battle of the Bridge' he showed that he actually had quality. 

  • Matthias Svensson

    Didn’t pull up any trees but liked him. Can’t remember the game but remember him coming on as second half sub and scored the winner with a header, I think shortly after entering the field of play.
    Home to Middlesborough?

    Got his signed shirt, signed by the team
    I met him out in Sweden last year, he sent over a shirt after my heart attack four years ago.
    A fantastic guy, and hero worshipped by Elfsborg fans, he lives in the city and sponsors the shirts.
  • Dennis Rommedhal and Jack Payne

    Rikki Otto, he had a pineapple on his head - apparently.
    The late Paul Linger who when he first appeared seemed to have so much potential.
    No…..that was Jason Lee with the pineapple hair do.
  • Alan Kernaghan 1991 on loan from Middlesbrough.
    Only played 13 games and I really thought he was excellent.
    Very surprised we didn’t sign him but he returned to Boro and continued his career there.
    Like me, he’s also type 1 diabetic. Other than Gary Mabbutt and Danny McGrain, I don’t know of any others 
    Mabbutt brought a good book out in the 90s and talks alot about his diabetes in it. Seems like a really nice bloke
  • I know it doesn’t really answer the question but who else remembers Bally Smart? Strangest signing ever in my opinion. There was zero hype about him when he signed and I remember thinking at the time that he wouldn’t be with us long. I don’t remember him ever playing but this photo says otherwise.

    Yes, I thought it was.

    You're thinking of another 90s loan - Jason Lee.
    yup

    Fox?
    No the Fox (in the Box) was Jeffers!😜

    Not sure if he’s been mentioned but Neil Heaney springs to mind for me…1998 play off winning season…rapid winger. Remember watching a game at the Valley and some fan behind me shouting “Roast him Heany” the whole game!

    Churchinho


    This was who I thought of. Sure, I wish he'd have put his foot through the ball sometimes, or even just once, but I always felt that he tried hard.

    Saw him play away at Shrewsbury in the League Cup. He was shite.

  • Maybe a controversial pick in light of what happened later in his career, but I really liked Sam Sodje during his first spell with us. The man would head a ball that was two inches off the ground.

    Souleymane Diawara - described by Richard Murray, with more than a hint of a sneer, as “apparently the best centre half in the world you’ve never heard of” after he’d paid £3.7m for him.

    Never thought he was given much of a chance to settle and only played 26 games (although that included 8 clean sheets). Went back to France, we made a loss, and went on to be transferred to Marseille for €7m two years later. Won the French cup 4 times, a record at the time. 




    What was the name of the guy that played up front for Wycombe ?
  • Ricardo Fuller, a genuinely talismanic striker in his prime. He came back to us right at the end of his career when his knees (I think) were shot but he was still a beast of a centre forward when fit enough to play. The serious injury he suffered when he trialed for us as a youngster was a sliding doors moment for the club.
    Him and Yann were brilliant at the end of that season

    If only for that mental game in the cup against Spurs where him and Bartlett ripped Campbell and King a new one , before we threw away a 2-0 lead .  Halcyon days .

    There’s loads of us about mate. You can join diabetes uk or more local groups where you can meet people and discuss how you tackle 😂😂

    Jack Muldoon, lower league player.

    Good timing for this thread, Airman tweeted about this list on where former players are now. Goes down to the 10th tier of English football and includes countries around the world.

    yup
    He was also a youth product who had been released before rebuilding his career. We've had a few of those, but that can be subject of another thread.

    Purely because of his name.

    He signed
    He came
    We can't pronounce his name
    Yassin Mouta...........
