Sam Bangoura...great run of goals but apparently a "shit guy" Did they ever find him, LP? It was the case of the vanishing 40 goal a season striker. Even Bossie was puzzled at that one. OS. I heard that he took up as a jockey, and they teamed him up with Shergar

Not sure if "bit-part" is the right term, but Tony Dinning pulled the strings of our midfield for the final eight games of our promotion season under Gudjon.
Not sure his name has ever been mentioned since.

I wouldn't class most of the players mentioned as bit-part players. Hendrie for example did a job for a large portion of the season he was here. Odemwingie did great then got injured. Crossley came in on loan and did a great job. I even think Ireland was more than a bit-part player, at least until he got his injuries. I thought of Danny Pugh first. Here for a while, and not good enough to be a regular starter but did a decent job when needed and in a number of different positions. Similarly Karl Henry who was never close to being a nailed-on starter but was good I thought. Carl Beeston became a bit-part player after his injury, but should he be included given how important he was for a couple of seasons before? Hoekstra didn't play all that many games but lit many of those he played up, so I don't think I can call him a bit-part player. Similarly Clint Hill from a defensive standpoint. Even my second favourite player ever (Bojan) became a bit-part player. After all that, I will go for Jon Parkin and Marc Muniesa. Pugh and Henry are both good shouts and both solid players. I think Henry proved after leaving us that he should have had way more game time. Very poor man’s Nzonzi but tidy and “always a 7; never a 6 or an 8” to use Mourinho’s description of Paulo Ferreira. We gave up on him too early in his career I think. Back 20 years ago when I’d go along to watch training him and Commons used to hang around at the end and float balls on to the cross bar from 40-50 yards. Never had a chance once Pulis appeared. Neither Pugh or Henry had enough “moments” to be a favourite though. Does Wilko qualify? Never thought he was a nailed down starter any season he played. Either him or Iwelumo for me.

Not sure his name has ever been mentioned since. I'm not sure I remember him, but his name seems sort-of familiar. Played for 16 different clubs in an 18-year career according to Wikipedia! Frode Kippe did alright came on loan played centre half was only about 20. I Remember him V PNE night match at home think it was on sky . I was very excited to sign him on loan at the time. A promising young player from Liverpool. Then just over 10 years later we ended up with Bojan, Affelay, Crouch, Adam, Shaqiri, Nzonzi etc. playing for us, not forgetting Hoekstra and even Tony Dorigo well before that.

Wasn't Iwelumo our main striker for at least a season? Wilko is a good shout with 20ish league games a season if a few of those were sub appearances, although he felt much more than a bit-part player at times.

Assaidi deserves a mention for that goal against Chelsea That goal elevates him from 'bit-part' to 'legend' in my book. My bit-part player would be Jason Kearton. Really disappointed we didn't sign him permanently at the time.

More than bit part I guess but he always felt like that kind of player to me. Never “the man”, even when we had limited options up front.

Wasn't my favourite but think in the category of 'bit-part' player, suitable mention should go to Jody Craddock who joined us on loan from Wolves in 2007. He was deemed surplus to requirements at Molineux & was loaned to us in hope of keeping him match fit. Sadly for us he fitted straight in and after only 4x appearances was recalled back to Wolves due to good form for us. He went back to Wolves and straight into their first team again! He was definitely looking a useful player for us and would have done us a job had Wolves not seen what they were missing out on.
Talking of bit part defenders who showed promise but was always a strange situation was Pétur Marteinsson. Really thought he looked a great central defender for us but the main man who counted at the time TP didn't appear to think so & he was only used occasionally and eventually binned off..

Jarrett was thinking of played at Highbury in the FA Cup not Dinning. Well fair play for thinking of an even more obscure central midfielder that joined on loan from Wigan. It must be something about central midfielders as well, as the equally non-descript Richard Johnson played for us in central mid for a very brief time.
