A CCFC best & worst Loan player X1 ?

[the other bob wilson]

Eddie Newton was an inspired loan. From a top division team like Chelsea to a 4th division team.
I'm surprised his career never really took off.
I wish he stayed as we may have kicked on.
Newton and Blake would be fab to have seen together..
But we didn't have 2 brass farthings to rub together so I doubt we could have afforded him.

Eddie Newton had rotten luck with injuries, but he didn't have too bad a career;-

Gerry Francis should be in the best team but doubt whether many will remember him. There was also a Japanese bloke signed on loan from from WBA who was decent.

I remember Gerry Francis playing for us, must have been late 80's? Wasn't that the year we had that strange five player swap with Newport?

Gerry Francis wasn't a loan player either, he was on a short term contract , 2 months I think.

Schmeichel was the best loan goalkeeper, Heaton wasn't;t great when he was on loan to us but was really good when he signed permanently.

Other stand out loan signings for me are Koumas, Bellamy, Chopra (before he re signed), Loovens, O'Neill, Gray.
