Paddy McCarthy?

Part of Nigel Clough's attempt to solve the problem he'd created for himself by allowing Maguire to be sold, dropping Collins and falling out with Andy Butler.

It didn't work. Of course the ultimate result of this problem was the 4 full back defence in the 5-5 draw at Swindon.

Someone like Jon O’Connor?

I'd completely forgotten about him!..........

There are tonnes I wish I could forget but by definition if I write them on here I've remembered them.

Yep.

I can't remember any that I've forgotten.

Erik Tonne's?

Racist!

Your 'accusation' persuaded me to look more closely at Benjamin and Wiggan, and almost 40 years on, I think I can claim there are mitigating circumstances for my confusing them. They were both young, black players, highly-rated as youngsters, and both made their debuts in the final game of the season (Benjamin, 1979, and Wiggan, 1980). They both played a handful of matches, each scored 3 goals, neither fulfilled their early promise, and pretty well disappeared off the radar quickly, though Benjamin went for a big fee to West Brom. How confusing is that?
If that doesn't get me off the charge, I shall try the Ernest Saunders defence of Alzheimer's; older readers will remember that he was given a lengthy jail sentence, and released almost immediately because he was suffering from Alzheimer's. He then became the first person in history to make a complete recovery from the disease. Wonder if he got in the Guiness Book of Records...

Yep.

There's the old quote, 'there are things we know we don't know and there are things we don't know we don't know!'

Have we had Jonas Wirmola? If not, then Jonas W........

Oh shit! I forgot again!

I thought he looked a decent CB if I remember rightly. He dealt with fashanu well in a September night game at bdtbl, and then fucked off to malmo.

He came highly regarded from Everton, the next big thing. Didn’t we have a John joe o’connor as well at some point?

*edit: John joe o’toole.

Didn't we have to pay some more money if he played a few more games?

If must have been one hell of a staggered payment deal, I think he only played about 5 or 6 times for us.

Willie ‘fucking’ falconer

I've always thought it was something to do with a fee. We bought him for £50k? A bigger fee after 10 games??

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Carl Veart

Never forgotten ‘the freckle’ due to his goal v. Arsenal in the FA cup.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Andy Goram

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Oliver Tebily

I liked the look of him as well, although I think Celtic & Brum fans thought he was dire.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Argentinian defender with an Italian sounding name, parramino? On loan from river plate?

 

[Carlton Blade]

I liked the look of him as well, although I think Celtic & Brum fans thought he was dire.

Really thought he'd go on to bigger and better. Proper athlete who seemed to read the game well
