I can't remember Jimmy Gilligan being THAT tall. My overriding memory of him was that he couldn't hit a cows bottom with a banjo. double bass




Record signing at the time though and an eagerly awaited debut..........

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the thread. I read it as players who you were aware of at the time and then thought, why the intercourse are we signing him. I doubt anyone had heard of Simon Heslop or Tommy Forecast before we signed them. To that end, to add to my previous nominations of Beagrie and Curran I will add the name Justin Whittle. An aging centre half from the mudrats, Im so glad he rammed my initial thoughts down my throat.

Yep, well done for steering the thread back on track! Forecast came here with quite a reputation having being in the first team squads for Spurs and Southampton. Nobody could have predicted quite how bad he would be.

Oh and I can't think many people were over the moon when we signed Iffy fookin Onuora.

Mark Flatts. from the might Arsenal, and Enzo Gambaro from AC Milan (just never got fit). Those two for me raised a lot of initial excitement but then failed to live up to my expectations.

That's the other way round though. We're talking about players, that when we signed them you thought, "why are we signing him, he'll be bloody rubbish" or a player you used to dislike when he played for a different club.

Those two were signings that DID impress you at the time and turned out to be rubbish.
