Darren Jackson and Andy Goram.

 

[Pusb1]

We had Jaroslav Drobny on trial in the championship

Nuneaton Boro 3 Coventry City 2

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

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Richard Spong - came over from Sweden into our youth team and expected to be another Roland Nilsson.

 

[Joy Division]

Richard Spong - came over from Sweden into our youth team and expected to be another Roland Nilsson.

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.

Have you all been playing Championship manager 01/02 recently?

Was literally going to say the same!!

 

[wantageskyblue]

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.

Anyone remember Alexander Klak the polish goalkeeper?

 

[Grendel]

Spong was still playing last year

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Anyone remember Alexander Klak the polish goalkeeper?

Didn't he have arthritis or some sort of joint condition? He was clickety-Klak

 

[AlansEyes]

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.

Like Jurgen Klopp’s showjumping brother, Klippety.

 

[DionDublinsJockstrap]

If he has not already been mentioned - the two match wonder, and legendary Steve Walsh

 

[Adge]

Craig Hignett.

 

[Adge]

Martin Grainger on loan from Brum.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Eddie Johnson, on loan from United about the same time as Neil Wood and Graham Barrett ( Arsenal )roughly??

 

[ovduk78]

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.

Bigi nowhere in site on the pitch but right in there for the celebrations!

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.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

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

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.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We had the Bulgarian legend Trifan Ivanov on trial.

 

[Blind-Faith]

I always tried to get Shane Tolley from Peterborough and Justin Georcelin from Northampton aswell, just goals galore! Ahhhhh this takes me back

 

[Briles]

Ellery Cairo was supposed to be one of the fastest wingers in the world

Ashley Cain was fast - he just couldn't control a football!

 

[NorthernWisdom]

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

I’m sure I read Taigalko died recently

 

[shepardo01]

Yes. 01/02 has a massive twitter following and it was all over that.

Got to ask which team, then!
