Players that were contracted to us, but never actually played a game..

Ville Lehtinen

There must be several keepers - Lance Key and Sal Bibbo I think? Also forward Gary Mulligan from Wolves who we sent out on loan.

If you remember when Lou Macari was a coach here in the late 90's, his son Paul came from Stoke and I'm not sure we ever saw him either.

Thinking about it wasn't there a third Quinn brother too?

Keith Quinn. I saw him play for us (a team made up of youngsters) against Chengdu at Don Valley.

 

[FTPE]

Did Karl Colley or Gary Kelly (Alan's brother) ever make an appearance for us? Seem to recall we spent a 6-figure sum on the former.

I remember sitting behind Gary Kelly in goal singing "Ireland's number 2, Ireland Ireland's number 2" to which he turned to the crown and put one finger up(his index)

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Ashley Sestanovich? (sp)

Can't remember him turning out for us.

You could get sent to the Tower of London for that!

Was definitely Watford away in glorious sunshine. Remembered as we took over a boozer with a nice beer garden down from the away end and Wednesday were getting relegated to division 2 as it was then. All afternoon we just sang the 'Wednesday, what you gonna do' song to Lord of the Dance, was a brilliant song that!

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Goalkeeper Milo Alesik (spelling!), signed from Spurs (i think, although it might have been Luton) on loan in the Haslam era. Steve Patterson was signed from Man Utd in about 1980 for £50k but never played, and there was that little bloke with the thinning fair hair that appeared in the (about) 1975 squad photo, can't remember his name at the minute

Salvatore Bibbo is a great shout. Other random keepers we had but didn't play - Carl Muggleton and Jim Leighton both on loan?

I thought the 3rd Quinn was tipped at one point to become the best of the three.

.

Carl Muggleton came on as sub playing in an outfield position in the 3-0 win at Reading in April 1996

I'd totally forgotten about that. Is he the only keeper to play as an outfield player for us?

Not sure

 

[Bergen Blade]

Not sure

Paul Tomlinson played outfield and scored for United in a friendly against Dallas Americans in 1985 and John Burridge scored twice against Guernsey the year after, probably played outfield as well?

And my Missus calls me a United Geek.
I remember a few of those names only now because they've been mentioned.
Where you lot dig this up from is beyond me?
