Ended up signing on a short term contract at Ipswich the same summer after we had him on trial but never played. Then had a very successful Career in the Bundesliga at Hamburg- and was a full Czech international

Matthew Christensen, 14 year old Australian midfielder we signed around 2000. Highly touted, ended up playing a bit at Southampton but nothing spectacular

We had him and another young Swedish player at the same time Andreas Dahl who was highly rated, never made an appearance for us but went on to have a decent career in the Swedish league and gaining a few international appearances.

Alex Nimley - scored on his debut and looked a real handful but don't think he scored again.

Apparently offered to come back and play for free when Mowbray was manager but he wouldn't take him back.

He was hopeless - sold Juke and got him in return.

Was just reading an article on FourFourTwo; “worst Prem footballers of all time”.

Ranked! The 50 worst players in Premier League history

Put your hands over your eyes - just as many fans did as they watched this hapless bunch. It's the Premier League's worst players of all time
www.fourfourtwo.com

The winner was the legend that is Ali Dia. He’s the guy who pretended to be George Weah’s cousin but was actually never a footballer. Signed for Southampton on the back of a fake phone call and played in the first team for a match.

Apparently, had a trial at Cov. Lucky that Russel Slade wasn’t our manager at the time I guess.

Ali Dia is one for the list here then.

If its the same guy I remember him making a fantastic run and cross which would have been a gimme to any self respecting centre forward, only for Kevin Kyle to be on his heels at the edge of the penalty area. I'm pretty sure it was Fadiga, and I can still picture his exasperated look of disbelief at Kyle.

This was against Preston. I was there on work experience with the CT for the day. We lost 4-0 and Fadiga going mental at Kyle got the biggest cheer of the day. We had to wait around for ages for the post match press conference because Dowie was going crazy at the team in the changing room afterwards.

Anyone remember Keith Rowland. We had him on loan at end of 92-93 season & he made a couple of sub appearances, I thought we were going to sign him but not sure we were doing our usual dithering about but West Ham ended up signing him.

This guy was a genius for me on an old version of Football Manager.

I remember a sustained campaign from people who believed Jack McBean was the answer to our striker problems a few years ago.

There were two of them! One ended up a bit random if he was any good or not, the other was invariably a star. Team him up with Moukoko and Cherno Semba, and you could rule for years.

Yeah, Goercelin was amazing too, forgot him!

His real life didn't go quite so well...

Police hunt ex-Cobblers youth team star to send him back to prison

Justin Georcelin wanted after failing to appear at court
