Players you thought would be great but turned out to be...

Yep, Sinclair was injury prone if my memory serves me well. I agree - Jimmy Floyd at least put himself about and was serious about it. You got the impression he was giving 100%. I liked him - wish we had taken a punt on him for a coaching role.

And of course Hasslebank smashed in that great goal (Canton End) when we beat Wolves in the 5th Round of the F.A. Cup. By far my favourite goal of his that he scored for us!

Didn't we have one poster who claimed that Madine's flick on for Pilkington to score at Sheff Utd was worth the transfer fee alone as it helped win promotion?

Yes! Unbelievable……

Alan 'Fatty' Foggon.

Josh Murphy

[Mr Soul '68]

There have been dozens over the years for me, right from Nigel Rees who crossed the ball for THAT goal from Clarkie, through Tony Villars and onwards (or downwards or sideways if you were the player concerned) through to Joss Murphy. I've not really expected much from our squad apart from Colwill.

If we are thinking of the same guy I remember that - I think it was Jorn Schwinkendorf or something like that. He was rubbish but I had the same excitement!

For me my choice is Koumas on his second visit, and Robbie Fowler. Although too decrepid for top league, I thought he might bag a few more here. I think service to him was poor, but his body was just knackered and he didn’t look after himself.

That's the chappy

Tony Philliskirk(sp?) had a good debut, did everything but score.
After that, he did f all.

Whenever we have a new player I always assume and expect them to be good enough/decent players.

Some surpass my expectations (Ross McCormack, Cameron Jerome, Chops, Bothroyd, Super Kev etc etc), most meet expectations in that they are solid if not spectacular (for example Sawyers, Rino, Allsop more recently, none of whom were terrible but did a job for us) whereas far too many fall well below expectations (Ronnie Moore, Langley, Madine, Turnbull and prove to be huge disappointments)

The one's that spring to mind for me. Micky Burns, Kevin Campbell and Kurt Nogan.
