Bareing in mind that trialists seem to be a way forward for all clubs in todays game. Which former town trialists were you most surprised not to get a pro deal. Will start the discussion off by suggesting nigerian striker chima okerie and winger nathan arnold

I thought Jerome was from the youth team rather than being a trialist.

Grant McCann (ex scunny, now peterboro) played left back in a freindly game if i remember correctly, he'd just been let go by West Ham.

He was. Shame we didn't stick with him! Personal issues or not we could have had ourselves a little transfer fee.

Anyone remember Karl Colley was it ? Big defender from Barrow, when they were a dwindling Unibond team , think he was even there captain at the time. I think Slade took him on trial in summer 2005, was absolutley mint and bossed the two games I remember seeing him in, think one was away at Lincoln when Parkinson scored in a 1-0 win. The reason he didn't get a contract was because he was around 18 stone, had a beer gut and was built like a VW Camper, but him and Rob Jones bossed every thing in the air and opposition forwards would bounce off Colley if they didn't get dragged into his orbit
