Yeah seemed a very good signing!Originally Posted by Rjk
109 goals in 280 games for Preston Burnley and Brighton before us.
Then 1 in 18 for us!
He was finished when he came to us, his knee was shot, he came for a bigger wage packet. I grew up with him in Llanedeyrn and played junior football with him, his brother had a pro career as well. Really nice family.
Yep. Kurt, lee and matthew crocker the finest players llanedeyrn high ever produced.
Adrian harris and nathan cadette other ex llanedeyrn high boys who got first team appearances for the city.
I know Nathan ( Shaper) and Crocker was a year younger than me. Well wood lad. He's a technical director at Soccer USA now, in charge of every level. There's a load more from Llanedeyrn who I grew up with, Lee Stephens, a good mate of mine, he played a couple of first team games.
Yeah he's done really well. Did a lot with the FA and Southampton. Credited for them appointing nathan jones...... also got poch for USA as got him for Southampton. Gwyn williams still lives out there also.
I was going to say shaper. Lol. And yeah Lee was class and his brother Carl has done so much for the community with the apollo boxing gym which has sadly just closed I believe.
The patten brothers the last of the llanedeyrn high production line before the bulldozers came in!
Crocker did a two year apprenticeship but wasn't taken on, he was in the same year as Nathan Jones ( I was the year above) and they were very good mates.......😂 Crocker got involved with Gavin Tait, the Youth Development officer who had come to the club in 89 from Southampton, and Crocker assumed a coaching role when he was released at 18 or 19. Good on the lad . Another very good player from Llanedeyrn High was Andrew Gee, he was with City for two years.
Does anyone remember Solomon Taiwo?
Yes, he played for Dagenham against us in The league cup and we signed him soon after. Seem to remember he was way out of his depth in the championship in his few appearances.
He went on masterchef! https://masterchef.fandom.com/wiki/Solomon_Taiwo
Rolf Feltscher - big haired Swiss/Venezuelan defender with some pedigree. Harry Redknapp had him on trial at Birmingham till he was sacked he told Warnock about him, Warnock had him on trial then a 2 month contract before he went off having only been an unused sub.
He was garbage, so he did leave an impression!
There's only one Chris Konopka
One of the few bluebirds nobody ever saw play, Brad Smith. I think Osei-Tutu is the other
Some daft shouts on this thread.
Gareth Stoker was a fans favourite in his time here, so obviously made some impression, and Kevin Evans played plenty of games and scored a few goals in a promotion winning season.
Tuerto and many on this thread need to get out more. Now the seasons over and you can’t moan about matches and players you turn your attention to moaning about players from 30 years ago.
A week on this forum and even Timmy Mallet would become depressed.
Gareth Stoker was fans favourite for looking like the sort who could duff you up rather than any impression on the football pitch, he hardly played for us.Some daft shouts on this thread.

According to Wikipedia Brad Smith played 3 games and Osei-Tutu 8 games. I don't remember seeing them, but someone must have.
I remember Osei-Tutu (now with Bolton) but Brad Smith is a complete blank. I was naively optimistic about Osei-Tutu because of the Arsenal pedigree, but apart from a few moments - followed by an injury? - he faded away.
What about Gerrard renowned for celebrating with Liverpool players when they beat us in the league cup final. And Velinwhat's his name.
No fan actually saw either play in the flesh
He played 7 minutes against Leeds, 1 minute against Derby, and 5 minutes against Hull, and was in the squad 12 times in total. He was signed by Neil Harris on loan from Seattle.
You reckon Anthony Gerrard made no impression at Cardiff?
He made 39 Championship appearances for the Bluebirds side that finished 4th in 2009/10 and appeared twice for City at Wembley.
Some of the posts in this thread are bonkers.

It's a matter of opinion I suppose. But the only thing, apart from being useless, I remember him for was the Wembley appearance which showed to me he didn't really want to play for Cardiff. Didn't he get released/sold shortly afterwards? Certainly playing for the City must have been the highlight of his career. He never appeared for the first team at Everton.You reckon Anthony Gerrard made no impression at Cardiff?

Yes, but you remember him, he made an impression, thus thread is about players who made no impression
I saw Brad Smith play for the under-23s against Bristol City in a 3-2 win. He made some mistakes early on but soon settled, linked up well and never stopped bombing up and down the touchline. I expected him to play a lot more for us.
If you're missing TOBW's quiz questions then here's one. That game was Steve Morison's first here, in Feb 2020. Which two players started it and also finished his last, the first team's 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield in Sept 2022?
There were no fans in attendance for any of those games
