22 of 25, like the post above, there's 2 which never heard of, think there in error.

Who's Nicky Rizzo? Are you joking? Australian International who played once on loan for us around 2007 under Buckley III.

I can't remember either.

Akobeto was the one I got wrong. I guessed Pileggi was Italian so guessed the Swiss club as it's the closest to Italy.

Had the same thought. He was on loan to Bradford prior to joining us, but Sheffield United were still his parent club.

Nicky Rizzo, I think, was on the bench for Liverpool when they beat us in 97/98 (the Owen hat-trick match).

After all the hype and build up, I seem to remember Rizzo got injured in his first game and was never seen again.

Martin Pringle was on loan so never really signed for us from Charlton

48%

Never heard of half of them.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery
