Always used to watch him at set pieces. We never had him pick up a man and let him attack the ball, and most of the time he won it by a mile.

The ultimate zone man.

Also one of my favourite memories at a game was sitting near the front of the South Stand, and Murphy trying to play a clever outside of the foot pass, only what happened was he toe poked it and punted it in a straight line at me. Never laughed so hard at a Blades player messing up.

Stuart McCall

I must have completely missed the idea of this thread if Stuart McCall is a candidate.
Absolutely class player who, though past his best, was never "shite".

Jamie Murphy was proper shite until Clough arrived and we then saw what he could really do.

First saw Jags play in a 2-0 win against Burnley in 2001. Thought he was slow and crap.

From memory, he played in midfield and (IMHO) always looked ordinary there. Transformed as a defender though.

For me, it's about players who, when signed people were generally rather 'underwhelmed' so to speak... Until said player actually played for us.

Ugo is a decent shout by the way. A very 'WTF' signing that turned out to be decent. Sun Ji Hai is mine though. Brought in almost exclusively because of our newly acquired Chinese football team to raise the profile of the club out there... Actually turned out to be a decent full back. Oh and then there was 'that' tackle. Brilliant.

They all underwhelm someone though. If we signed Messi he'd be too small and weak for this agricultural division, if we signed Suarez, he'd bring the club into disrepute and if we signed Ronaldo he'd be too shiny. As for Neymar, forgot it, we don't want some fucking kid dictating his terms to us, well done CW for telling him to fuck off.

Remember Chief made his debut at Cov away with Onoura starting and Chief replacing him as sub.

Was a bit of a grand day out for the likely lads that one with a stop off on the way home.

Saw at Stocksbridge - preseason and commented that it would turn out to be a signing of epic failure.

I also remember that spookily, it seemed to coincide with the last time I was *knowingly* wrong
