Ernie Hannigan, I thought he was great.

My Dad thought he was the worst player to ever wear a City Shirt!

We received his game worn from 98-99 to put up for auction earlier. Signed by the whole squad. Should start in the next week or so.

Cannot agree with Palmer, he was fantastic untill the Ginger tosser pissed him off, and as for Rosario once he left we fell apart, he wasn't brilliant but suited us at the time.

Eric McManus (goalkeeper) - who remembers the classic blunder of backpass going straight through his legs and into the goal :facepalm:

And then there was Wilf Smith - what a cart horse

IMHO of course

Yea Eric was a dreadful goalie, he played in the Bayern Munich away game after Bill Glazier got injured, and he let in 6, killing the tie. Bill Glazier was back for the home second leg and we beat them 2-1

Disappeared and never seen again until Wigan turned up in the Premier League around a decade later.

Cedric Rousell every time for me :guitar2:

Always liked Rousell and Delorge too, both did reasonably well when playing in mainland Europe, it seems to have just been English football that didnt suit them.

Did all of McAllister's running for him in The Entertainers side; Macca had been shite throughout his time with us until we brought Carlton in, and from that moment onwards was top class. I can see why he's mentioned in this thread, but your comment betrays a lack of understanding of the game!

Agree with this. He wasn't a great player but my goodness did he do his job well for us.

Roussel was pretty good for about half a season (the Entertainers season) in fairness to him.

He was possibly more than a bit fucked off by the club trying to use him as a makeweight in the failed attempt to sign John Hartson.

roussel and keane were pretty good at HR but away they were crap,the last 16 games of the 1999-2000 we lost 11 of them,turning point was the charlton fa cup tie when we were 2-0 up and lost 3-2.we never recovered from that.

Peter billing.... Not that shit as he loved a tackle. What he lacked in skill, he made up for it with passion

Ysrael Zuniga!!! Anyone remember that 10-15 minutes he played against Bradford in the 1999-2000 season (won 4-0 I think) and he was amazing, then decided to never really play like that again (or really get a chance to be fair).

Another one of those frankly baffling signings that plagued us around the turn of the century (Ivan Guerrero and Jairo Martinez also spring to mind.)

Trevor Benjamin was laughably shit, something like 1 goal in his 20 games for us and that was a handball.

Actually most of Micky Adams signings were awful.

I'll probably get slaughtered for this, but Lloyd McGrath wasn't really that good, was he? Still a terrace favourite though.

Had forgotten all about him, was that in that same raft of signings when he bought in the likes of Andy Impey and Paul Watson?

Well Lloyd wasn't the most skilful play ever, but I can't think of many players that could have done a better marking job on Hoddle in the '87 final.

Didn't Zuniga come with a bit of a reputation too? I'm sure he was South American golden boot or something to that effect.

That is correct.

I think that the theory was to get him over here and then sell him on at a massive profit.

But he was never shite, maybe not always playing at the level we know he could but he was quite often pretty good. Think were going round in circles here.

We bought Moldovan as more the "finished article".

As I recall, he cost about £3.5m.

Always seemed a bit odd that he was signed when Dublin and Huckerby were going so well.
