sandwichsaint Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 Not sure how we've got this far without ...... Kevin Phillips, terminally average. Wiki tells me he scored 22 in 64 in generally pretty poor sides but you always felt like you expected more from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washsaint Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 Kevin Gibbens, Phil Warner and Shayne Bradley......as someone else mentioned Neal Bartlett until he got into drugs (and he was a Branfoot picking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandwichsaint Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 I thought Fitz Hall looked really good the couple of times I saw him, shades of a young Rio, where did it all go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Jim Posted 13 November, 2012 Share Posted 13 November, 2012 Can't believe he's not been mentioned yet (apologies if it has, I couldn't see a mention of him) but our record signing for 11 years - Rory Delap. for 4m in 2001 I expected something special from him. I'd seen him score soem great goals for Derby yet he dons the red & white and turns to sh1t3. Record waste of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 13 November, 2012 Share Posted 13 November, 2012 I thought Fitz Hall looked really good the couple of times I saw him, shades of a young Rio, where did it all go wrong? He seems to be a good Championship CB that struggles with the step up to the prem, sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 13 November, 2012 Share Posted 13 November, 2012 Chicken George back in the day - George Lawrence. Once described by a Saints Coach as "The greatest footballer since Pele" ....... "From the shoulders down" Whatever happened to Imants Bleidelis (sic) & Kleber Chala (The Translators) as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 13 November, 2012 Share Posted 13 November, 2012 Reuben Agboola never reached the heights that he seemed destined for. He made his debut alongside Danny Wallace aged 17 at Old Trafford, was composed in defence and used the ball well. Playing alongside Mark Wright it seemed nly a matter of time before he got an internatinal call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted 13 November, 2012 Share Posted 13 November, 2012 Abdul Kamara, the young midfielder who went to Leeds with Rod and Ray Wallace. The coaches including Bob Higgins were tipping him for greatness. I saw him once and agreed. Anyone know what happened to him. Who was the midfielder who captained the shearer era youth team and played for England at that level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 13 November, 2012 Author Share Posted 13 November, 2012 All these young hotshots who didn't quite make just demonstrates one thing...to be a top class footballer you have to be f*cking good. and the right attitude!! I knew two that never made it as they showed a sign of a bad attitude on the training ground. You could add Nile Ranger & Jake Thompson to that list as ones that left because the management never liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Uwe Posted 13 November, 2012 Share Posted 13 November, 2012 Andrei Kanchelskis! We gave him the number 7 shirt (the first player to wear it post-Matty), and although he was knocking on 33 when he arrived I felt sure he could do a decent job - remember the likes of Djorkaeff, Fernando Hierro etc were doing the business for Bolton, so why not Andrei? I remember we brought him on against Everton during the 02/03 season. Received the ball out wide and spooned his cross into the Chapel. That was that!
