Gotta love the idea of some of these shouts being quite recent. Half of the names mentioned were playing when Jesus was still around.

One that’s been mentioned a lot in these type of threads is Chris Marsden. It was assumed we didn’t buy him as we couldn’t afford him.

What we couldn’t afford was Chris allegedly getting confused about crossing a white line. He then went to Wolves on loan and they cite an interesting appearance at Billy Wrights funeral and another curious interest in fire arms.

Michael Carrick came on trial as a youth player.
I always think Robbie Keane as well even though we signed him. It was such a short period of time. Was gutted when we sold him. To lose him and McAllister in the same window killed us.

Im still pissed off about that 18 months later. How we just binned him off for Stamenic who then made us look like amateurs was poor

I thought it was more a case he didn't fancy us and wanted to move to Sunderland

Did not realise this was the case

Yeah, nobody read the stipulated ‘recently’ at all, and just started naming players from decades ago. lol

Rabbi Matondo. After scoring on his Hannover debut he hasn't scored since and doesn't appear to be playing ATM. Rangers look to be terminating his contract early.

I remember at the time that Rangers fans, those that weren't simply celebrating his possible departure, saying that he'd do alright if he wasn't up against a low block.

So yeah, he'd have been a great signing.

I remember a rumour at the time, that apparently his best friend was Charlie - seemingly that was true.

Watching the Kevin Ball (Portsmouth/Sunderland etc) episode of undr the cosh and was at Cov in his early years but acted the twat and was released by Dave Sexton. That’s one that flew under the radar-didn’t hear about that.
