Mark Nicholls didn't someone punch him off the ball Alex Rae maybe? Disappeared pretty quickly back to London after that!

How can anyone forget JOE WATERS . A legend in his time . Short memories or more likely a lot if you weren't born then !


Think many have selected loan players that didn’t end up signing for town. Mendonca & Woods were both on loan before signing and I’m sure there are many more!!!

The 'Reputation' section of Muscat's Wikipedia page is quite a read   (and the Nicholls punch doesn't even make it!)

With 5 from the final 15 games.  The type of statistic that leaves you little choice but to recruit Michael Jeffrey in the summer.

Surprisingly we scored the exact same amount in the following season.


Whenever I think of Jeffrey I just remember the friendly game I saw when he was on trial. Thought "he's rubbish, worth a look but we'll never sign him" and probably the next day he signed for us  . Started that season really badly with signings, considering what they let Lawrence do with money it seems like somebody wanted to set Buckley up to fail. Strangely my only other memory of that friendly beyond being unimpressed with Jeffrey is my friend was sure he spotted Michael Barrymore in the executive seats so we spent half the game trying to decide if that was really him.

Unless I’m mistaken, our two (TWO) summer signings that year were Michael Jeffrey and Paul Raven. Twenty years on it’s a different era of course, but even then that was a pretty catastrophic pre-season for a side competing a level below the Premiership / Premier League.

This is not in anyway intended as a defence of JF by the way, whom I attribute the bulk of our current plight to, but this was pre-ITV Digital - two decades of ill thought out penny pinching have killed this club.

Can't believe you've left Vance Warner out.


Or Mikel Antoine Curier (think he was on loan?)

Vance Warner.

The only player I've seen who headed the ball 2" from the ground.

Indeed both Joe and Ivanho were on loan originally.

In fact the supporters started fund raising for both of them, to get Grimsby Town to sign them.
I think I may have a Bonetti shirt somewhere.
