Out of all those mentioned Simon Webster easily the best, good player that lad. Didn't he break his leg.1980s loans:
1979-80 Viv Busby, Terry Poole,
1980-1 Don Givens
1982-3 Trevor Ross, Tony Towner
1983-4 Trevor Ross (again)
1984-5 Dennis Mortimer
1986-7 Andy Kennedy, Dean Glover, Mark Dempsey (later signed permanently)
1987-8 Roger Hansbury, Hans Segers, Graham Benstead (later signed permanently), Simon Webster (later signed permanently)
1988-9 John Moore, Vaughan Ryan, John Gannon (later signed permanently)
Glover, Mortimer, Kennedy were the pick of the bunch who didn’t sign permanently.
Henderson did well behind a formidable defence. Losing JOC was much more a factor in our relegation in my opinion.The man city boys would need to come back and up us to 9th in the league to get close to Henderson and what he did. Losing him and bringing in a shaky to start with Ramsdale got us relegated
Ramsdale was shaky for half the season and let in shots that Henderson wouldn't imo. That confidence he gave would have been even bigger in lockdown era footballHenderson did well behind a formidable defence. Losing JOC was much more a factor in our relegation in my opinion.
Not disputing Ramsdales early form for us. But with JOC in the team he wouldn’t have been as exposed. Hendo was very good I just think JOC missing was the key factor in our relegation.Ramsdale was shaky for half the season and let in shots that Henderson wouldn't imo.

Surprisingly hard choice, this - MGW was such a standout player last season, head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch, but we got f**k all for it so can't really pick him.Just now, during the Enda Stevens thread, it got me thinking about Jon Harley, and it reminded me of how good he was when we first had him on loan.
So just for fun, let's have a look a back at other great loan signings and see if we can come up with who was the best loan signing that we've ever had?
Feel free to debate, add others or just bring back good memories. Some players came on loan on more than one occassion so I've highlighted the season when we saw them at their best for us.
Didn't we loan Bruce Rioch?Loan players used to be a rare thing, in the early 80s Trevor Ross was the only loan player I can recall.
Yes, we didDidn't we loan Bruce Rioch?
What about Glyn Hodges in his loan spell, before we all ended up flogging Grand National sweepstake tickets to help fund his purchase?
Worst loan signing is an Easy Question.
Givens. the cunt who missed that penalty that sent us down to the old fourth division.
Maybe. I think both can be true - Henderson did have a great defence in front of him and JOC was clearly a massive loss, but also Henderson was a huge part of the unit working so well.Henderson did well behind a formidable defence. Losing JOC was much more a factor in our relegation in my opinion.
He was never on loan. He was a permanent signing straight away.
John Mathew's was nominated I think but he had never taken a penalty in his life so you can blame him for refusing. Yes it's easy to slag Don Givens off, I've done it myself for many a year but you can't blame him for the relegation we were fucking awfulWhatever you think of Givens as a player, you can't blame someone for missing a pen. He stood up and was winning to take it while others backed away.
