I was with an Everton fan on the day we signed Cuckoo Martini. When I told him, there were no words in his response, he just belted out a Boycie from Only Fools and Horses laugh, uninterrupted, for about 35 seconds.

Kofi Nyamah, Carl Dickinson, David Rowson- three players who I dreaded seeing on the teamsheet.

Was Dave Kevan that bad? Remember him playing quite a few games in that fantastic 92/93 season.
Scored a last minute winner against Bradford aswell

Poor old Dave McAughtrie. Lived in a terraced house in Newcastle whilst being a squad member for a top league Stoke side, then disappears into obscurity in the Scottish lower leagues shortly after.

Danny Collins wasn't THAT bad. Plenty worse than him.

That's pretty good.... Or should I say bad. I'll have Marco Gabbiadini, Danny Pugh, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Wilson Palacios on the bench

It’s not that bad there is no Paul Stewart?
And I agree with Jesusmcmuffin that Kofi Nyama should be the left back. Failing that, we have a guy current in our first team squad who could comfortably fit in there.

Bryan Small was bad (probs worse than Collins)
Also, Keith Scott has to be in there

Built like Talos from Jason and The Argonauts and unfortunately moved like him.

I’ll never forget the miss against Crewe. So bad he had to repeat it 10 minutes later to prove it was actually possible miss from 2”

That game was one of of the lowest points ever. His winner at Boro was a good day out. Maybe if I saw the Crewe miss again I may change by mind but my immediate reaction was what an abysmal cross. ...I'm not actually Paul Stewart in case you're wondering or any relation

McMahon wasn't THAT bad. There are a couple of keepers from the 60's who could challenge Marshall. You know who you are!

That's very harsh on Danny Collins, IMO. He wasn't a great player but a few bad performances don't make him awful. I also thought McMahon was decent enough at that level at the time, though he didn't quite live up to expectations - and wasn't he more of a midfielder? Pulis was a midfielder too. Also, Kevan seemed okay, though I was a kid then so who knows. Teixeira was an odd one. Hughes thought he had the potential to become the next Chris Samba. Didn't Teixeira get injured early on and then never really play? Martina, Shea and probably Xausa I agree with, though how many games did the latter play? I also can't believe Danny Pugh was mentioned greystokie - he filled in capably in a few positions, sort of like a poor man's James Milner (but still decent, as Milner is fantastic). Wimmer would be in my team, with Arismendi alongside Imbula, who would walk off after ten minutes after we've used all our subs. Oulare would start, despite his legendary status.

Some of my friends behind the goal couldn’t stop laughing, so they like to tell me over and over again. Probably why I remember it with such distain. I was beginning to wonder Talking of bad misses can we find a place for Gary Brooke’s?

I can’t believe someone mentioned Danny Pugh. He immediately strengthened our side when he joined on loan in the Championship promotion season and often did a decent job in the first Prem year. He was a good player for us. Never a headline grabber, but a useful squad member at an excellent time in our history.

Marshall Lewis Buxton Graham Harby Paul Dyson (captain) Tweed Oldfield Rowson Ian Scott Tony Scully Bamber Keith Scott Didn't Bamber have one ridiculous spell of scoring in home games? He reminded me of Jonah Lewie, in looks and footballing ability to be fair. I liked Scully but was about 6 and any player that twisted and turned was a genius in my eyes, would have helped if he took the ball with him though I guess.

He certainly missed more absolute sitters (courtesy of Beagrie and Hackett) than any striker ever,even more than Keith Scott. We started 89/90 playing good stuff but drew the first seven games and could never catch up. If we had even an average striker we would have won at least 4 or 5 of those 7 and gone on from there. Scully... might be a bit harsh he didn't play much, thought that least one of Kamara's bizarre gambles should be in there.

Whatever happened to Jorg Sobiech, snatched away from us by FC Twente and no idea what happened to him after that?

I would like to see Pericard in the team, I’m not sure we had a Premier a League player that I think would have struggled to get into our Division 2 side as much as he would.
Jason Kavanagh is one that sticks out in our lower league time as struggling.

It simply has to include Wimmer Imbula and Berahino for the irreparable damage they did to this club in terms of cost
There have been shitter no doubt, but not 48 million quid shitter with long, impossible to shift contracts

Played against Cambridge in the League Cup and half the Boothen End were ready to climb the wall to get to him.
