Quoted from Les Brechin
Peter "flipping" Beagrie.

And going back in the annals of time Terry Curran.


Spot on Les. I may have been underwhelmed by alot of signings down the years but these are the only two i can think of that i have vehemently opposed.

I remember Steve Mildenhall coming to us with nothing but poor reviews from other fans, didn't County fans call him "Mildenflap"?


He impressed me! Best keeper since Coyne

Scott McGarvey. The only play I can remember with just about every touch of the ball fell to the ground when he lost it and every shot he took went over the pontoon/osmond roof. He nearly gave my dad a bloody heart attack to.

Chris Grocock, just a first class member

Rhys Wilmot, could not catch a cold let alone a ball

I could wright a book of dreadful signings

Jude stirling long throw thats about it, everytime when defending he was so clueless the player could walk and still get past him

Anthony Williams when i saw him in the lincs senior cup against scunny when he dived the wrong way for every peno cos it went into penos always dived to the right and every peno went the opposite way, well he couldn't dive at all could he

Aruand mendy meant to be a box to box player, didn't see him in any box

Josh mageniss and to think hes currently doing better than us is a joke

Malvin kamara, awful simplicity awful

Tomi ameobi was signed with malvin kamara by watkiss and was worse than kamara

There are many more


i am a season ticket holder and i always will be one  


"aaron is the next michael barrymore, hes a comedinan"

it is official, i am a comedian

Scott McGarvey was a bit of a disappointment.

Started at Man Utd I think and hit the bar on his debut for us at Leeds if I remember correctly with a long range free kick but he never really settled and we got relegated that year when we right up there when he came!

Did he sign at the same time as the really awful Mick Halsall?

Its about your reaction when we signed them, not the way they played. So what players did you eek at at first glance. Like i said a few did with Mildenhall but he turned out ok.

Haha, wasn't aiming at that. Just signings that didn't impress at first you when we signed them, regardless of how they played.
