Think he was on loan, as opposed to being a registered player.
Injuries blighted his career, he was a quality player.

Big Fat Ron got Chris White from Leeds on a 1 month loan who had been sent off the day before signing. He played 1 game for us but was banned for the remainder before going back to Leeds. Big Fat Ron wasn't even aware he's been sent off.

Don’t think he signed but I definitely went up to Ryton and met Alexis Lalas, think he signed for an Italian club despite us parading him with us that day.
Weird how that could happen like that versus the launch of players now

I thought he played against Sheffield United, played alright and then had a stinker at Bury and got dropped
Click to expand...

It might have been the Bury game I was at then. I was sure it was his debut though. Either way, even with all the dross we've had over the past couple of decades there's probably only a handful of players that have genuinely looked that lost on a football pitch and he's one of them.

Brown was worse (Reece).

As terrible as he was, there's no chance he was worse. At least Brown somewhat lingered in and around L1 for a few seasons afterwards.

Who was the left back we had while Robins was here, he would rather play a right back at left back than play him.

found him Josh Reid

He did play for us as I remember him being in goal as he was absolutely tiny and couldn't catch.

Pretty sure he converted into a defender.

Allegedly featured in seven games, I didn’t think it was that many!

No it wasn't.

Played four games for us in the end, but did eventually convert into a defender.

For those older fans, I recall a loan player Tommy Langley playing for us in the early 80's, I think Bobby Gould was manager in his first stint.
I think he played either one or two games, and that was too many.
