FloatingbridgeSaint Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Hang my head in shame for forgetting Neil "Razor" Ruddock.. also, Jimmy Case Joe Jordan Mick Mills Mark Wright
mitch01 Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Andrew Davies was immense in the nPC for a while, before moving on to Stoke I think. That was just at the stage when things were starting to go very very wrong financially. Still at Bradford struggling with injuries.
m735 Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Peter Madsen I was only talking about this Guy today as I was discussing my trip to Crewe in the Championship when I believe he scored.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Have a printed signed squad sheet/photo thing from 1999/2000... Who are S Bradley, C Collins, B Leal?!
Lazlo78 Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Have a printed signed squad sheet/photo thing from 1999/2000... Who are S Bradley, C Collins, B Leal?! http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/1999/aug/26/newsstory.sport4 Bruno Leal, brother of Boa Morte (apparently) Now that article brought up another player, I'd forgotten about: Dani Rodrigues. Maybe he's been mentioned earlier in this thread, but only now I remember the story about us snapping him up in front of AFCB - and then he went on and got a bad injury...
bender Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Someone reminded me that Vincent Pericard played for us the other day. No he didn't. It was years ago.
LeBenali Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/1999/aug/26/newsstory.sport4 Bruno Leal, brother of Boa Morte (apparently) Now that article brought up another player, I'd forgotten about: Dani Rodrigues. Maybe he's been mentioned earlier in this thread, but only now I remember the story about us snapping him up in front of AFCB - and then he went on and got a bad injury... Didn't he suffer two broken legs in the space of 2 or 3 years, which effectively ruined him?
Lazlo78 Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Didn't he suffer two broken legs in the space of 2 or 3 years, which effectively ruined him? Ah yes, that's how it went... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dani_Rodrigues In an act of "un-neighbourly piracy",[1] Southampton nipped in and signed Rodrigues from Feirense for £200,000. He made two substitute appearances at the end of the 1999–00 season, against Leicester City[2] and Wimbledon.[3] Rodrigues showed promise and, when he went on loan to Bristol City at the end of 2000, he was an instant hit, but he broke an ankle in a match against Reading. He returned to the Saints and was fighting his way back to full fitness when he broke the same ankle in training.[1] In an effort to rebuild his career, Rodrigues spent another spell on loan to Bristol City. Southampton released him from his contract in July 2002 and he was signed by Walsall on a free transfer.[1]
Kingsland Red Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Still no good, still haven't remembered anyone I forgot. Ah well, old age is creeping up on me. Hot milk please matron.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/1999/aug/26/newsstory.sport4 Bruno Leal, brother of Boa Morte (apparently) My next door neighbour took me to a reserve game at the Dell around that time (at least I think it was a reserve game? There was a bit of a crowd there?!), I must have been about 8, we expected Boa Morte to make an appearance. There was someone warming up on the wing, I thought it was Boa Morte, then a few people were chanting "Bruno! Bruno! Bruno!" at him... To this day I always wondered who "Bruno" was... Now I know, thanks!
SNSUN Posted 13 February, 2013 Posted 13 February, 2013 Been playing some FM 2007. Josh Dutton-Black on there. I wonder what happened to him. Marcelo Sarmiento is always the first one to be released from his loan too.

TheMidfieldGeneral Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Still no good, still haven't remembered anyone I forgot. Ah well, old age is creeping up on me. Hot milk please matron. Lee Luscombe?
Kingsland Red Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 OK,my old neighbour Patrick Colleter,left back, I think he even scored at The Dell !
Wes Tender Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Christer Warren, Darren Potter, 2 Chinese players?
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 We signed a Dale Stephens from Oldham at the end of our league 1 promotion campaign, why some even told me he was the real deal, better than Morgan and should be signed up instantly. That's the one. No wonder I couldn't remember his surname if the "current player" I was thinking of was Jack Stephens.
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 99% sure we only signed O'Halloran to promote the Under 21 match at St Marys between England and Ireland. Which seems strange and a little unlikely, as Surman was named in the England squad along with Theo Walcott, who would have been a much bigger draw. http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/96470/teams I've also just noticed that in January we had Gregory Vignal or Wayne Thomas playing at left back, and neither exactly pulled up any trees with Vignal in particular taking an age to get half-competent, so it probably made sense to try getting someone different in. Has anyone mentioned Kevin Miller yet ?
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 I'd also like to throw Lee Powell into the mix, seeing as I played against him in school and his dad played for Newport County. He's on the squad pic for 1991/2 but I'm not sure he ever got a league game for Saints in Div 1 and disappeared to Hibs reserves not long after. Absolutely rapid midget winger with blonde hair, in our schools game he just ran up and down the wing beating people waiting for their striker to get free in the box.
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Have a printed signed squad sheet/photo thing from 1999/2000... Who are S Bradley, C Collins, B Leal?! Shayne Bradley as I previously mentioned got a start up at Everton, he was like a broader, slower James Beattie before he got good.

Has anyone mentioned Kevin Miller yet ? On the marketing for it, they had Surman in a England shirt and O'Halloran in an Ireland shirt. I think anyway.
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Excellent call! He came on as sub at home to Arsenal for his debut, and got utterly done by Thierry Henry, who scored his first goal for Arsenal that day after weeks of not looking like he was any good. I vividly recall Arsenal's bench warming up at half time being rather good (Luzhny aside) and Ray Parlour nearly taking Pat From Poole's head off with a shot that deflected off the bar into the Archers bike shed.

saint1977 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 I'd also like to throw Lee Powell into the mix, seeing as I played against him in school and his dad played for Newport County. He's on the squad pic for 1991/2 but I'm not sure he ever got a league game for Saints in Div 1 and disappeared to Hibs reserves not long after. Absolutely rapid midget winger with blonde hair, in our schools game he just ran up and down the wing beating people waiting for their striker to get free in the box. He most definately did get a few games the9, I remember him playing v Forest at home and he caused them a lot of problems. He was exactly as you remember him, he beat four Forest players in the corner with a bit of skill that had the Saints fans roaring with approval. A bit like with Neal Bartlett, I'm not quite sure why he didn't last longer. Talking of rapid wingers that probably needed to improve their end product, do people remember Andy Williams and Neal Heaney? Williams was a taller version of Powell but almost as quick with just as many tricks. I remember him being our best player V Bolton on a dire opening day in 97/98 - Dave Jones's first game - and giving Chelsea the runaround as a sub. Heaney was the quickest of the three, I mean really quick but his delivery was terrible and frequently threatened the fans behind each goal. He was linked with Blackburn at one stage for big money but ended up following Bally to City when they were relegated and then to Darlington. Williams went to Swindon and was winning MOTM awards and then vanished again, I'll ask my Swindon supporting mate what happened. If you want to see ex-Saints, go to Exeter, Tisdale has a few like Aaron Davies and Matt Oakley. Saw Ollie Lancashire for Aldershot v Torquay at Plainmoor on a Tuesday night earlier this season. No wonder Aldershot are struggling with him at CB! Aldershot were 3-0 up and lost 4-3 in the last minute which pleased the locals no end. He certainly hasn't improved. What's happened to Lloyd James?
mini_me Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Found a program from a match we sponsored in an office clearout last week and the MOM from the previous match was Mario Licka. All I can say is the other 10 must have played sh1te !
Village Saint Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Keller, Forecast, then I struggle. Thorstvedt? Didn't he sign for us? I know Beasant played for both, but Spurs came later. I haven't got that far so hope no-one else has done this but Hollowbread and I think Reynolds both played for Spurs before us.
SNSUN Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Alledine Yahia is a name I've just thought of, although just checked and he didn't play any games for us. Seems he's a stalwart in France now.
david in sweden Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Has anyone said Idiakez yet? you have ! good post.
david in sweden Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 I haven't got that far so hope no-one else has done this but Hollowbread and I think Reynolds both played for Spurs before us. they did ! .....I wrote a short history...... somewhere....... on the current Boruc thread on here.
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Alan Bennett Aka "Alan fecking Bennett and Chris Makin"...
Colinjb Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Alan Bennett I remember him having a truly great game at Coventry.
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 I remember him having a truly great game at Coventry. He was utter shart for us for about 2 months (I started a Facebook cartoon on some app detailing a variety of hilarious ways he could be miles apart from Chris Makin) then bizarrely got quite good (relatively) just before his loan ended and had people actually keen to keep him. Was at Cheltenham last I heard.
The9 Posted 14 February, 2013 Posted 14 February, 2013 Just checked ...Alan Bennett signed for bottom of the league AFC Wimbledon on deadline day.
Twinkle Toes Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Has anyone else mentioned Mark Hughes? Maybe it's just me who had managed to erase that awful memory. One of the most disinterested, 'only here for the pay cheque' players I can remember. Maybe I was expecting too much but he was such a disappointment.
gordonToo Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Anyone remember the LB Dave Jones brought with him from Stockport? Only played a few games and that was too many.
Lazlo78 Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lee Todd? He has already been mentioned a few pages back
gordonToo Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lee Todd? He has already been mentioned a few pages back That's the one!
sandwichsaint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Chris Perry did a decent job for us. Legs had gone but he compensated with his experience and always gave his all. Remember the total capitulation at Hillsborough that pretty much sent us down from the Champ to Lge 1, him and KD played them on their own that day.

He wore the shirt; he took the money but he definitely never played.
Baldbarbarian Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Olivier Bernard - saw him on Soccer Am the other week, it brought back horrific memories
FairWeather Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lee Powell - he was going to be the next big thing in the early nineties, played about 7 games, then disappeared... http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=6438
david in sweden Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Been done a few times before, but heard Mark Walters on the radio earlier, forgot he played for us. ...it's been interesting to read some of the names from the past that have appeared on this thread, but some of them surely come into the category of " players we wished we'd forgotten "
The9 Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lee Powell - he was going to be the next big thing in the early nineties, played about 7 games, then disappeared... http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=6438 Beat you to it, good link though. They have his nationality wrong though. Unless he's fussy about it, like me.
