Done played more than a handful of games for us I think,and managed a goal away somewhere,I canny remember when or where though.Wrexham rings a bell.

My dad keeps calling Matty Done, Ben Doane. So he definitely hasn't forgotten :D
 



Julian Broddle.

Without consulting tinterweb, I think he played one game at home to Halifax Town on 28th December 1981 in Division 4 game that ended 2-2. Never played for us again if memory serves.

All correct except it was 2nd January 1982 :-)
 
Sal Bibbo

Ah big Sal. Known as Aunt to his mates.

Went out on loan to the Spireites then Northern Irish club Ards before migrating south to the Biscuitmen (munch, munch) where he played his last game on 17th February 1998 away at the Stadium of Shite.

Incidentally played against the Blades four days prior in our 1-0 win over them in the FA Cup.
 



Absolutely loved him when he played for us. Wasn't he once highly rated at Barcelona?
No. He was at Espanol, who are a Barcalona club but didn't play for their first team. Are you thinking of Suffo?

If we're allowed to count loans I'd throw Goran Slavkovski's name into the mix. Billed as the second coming of Ibrahimovic when he was at Malmo**, made his Serie A debut at 17, never played for their first team again and came on loan to us a couple of years later. Don't remember him ever sniffing the first team and is now plying his trade in the 6th division of swedish football.**

**The ever reliable Wikipedia. :D

I too thought he looked good we got him from Plymouth I think but there was interest from Barca when he was younger.

Think we were all lined up to sign him but something went off, collapse of ITV Digital?

Quite right! I was there aged 11 and remember the snow being piled up along the touchlines, the pitch was like a skating rink and as happened at home to Hereford on the opening day, we threw away a two goal lead to draw 2-2.
