We had Jaroslav Drobny on trial in the championship
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
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 just reading an article on FourFourTwo; “worst Prem footballers of all time”.

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.

Didn't he have arthritis or some sort of joint condition? He was clickety-Klak
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.
Eddie Johnson, on loan from United about the same time as Neil Wood and Graham Barrett ( Arsenal )roughly??
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.
I always tried to get Shane Tolley from Peterborough and Justin Georcelin from Northampton aswell, just goals galore! Ahhhhh this takes me back
