Seem to remember Pulis signing a young winger on loan from Portsmouth that barely played for us but I can’t for the life of me think of his name. Kevin Harper? Peter Sweeney?

Russell Hoult, may have a distinction in being sent off in his one and only league appearance? I think Allan Smart has the same record. If I remember rightly the story goes: Signs on loan from Watford A day later makes his debut off the bench v Oldham 10 minutes after coming on is sent off for chinning an Oldham player Immediately sent back to Watford 10 days later signs for Oldham

Keith Andrews and Lee Martin always stick out as generally obscure players with us, but who I happen to remember vividly. Was it Lee Martin ex Man U that scored the winner in the FA cup (last one ever to be played in an evening if I recall?) Is so i sat next to him at Bangor on Dee Races, spoke to him, told him i was a Stoke fan but didnt know he played for us!!! He probably thought I was a right ignorant twat A different Lee Martin. The one you're talking about was late 80s / early 90s - think it was the replayed Cup Final v Palace he scored in. The one we had was probably mid-to-late 2000s, a powder-puff winger who did nothing.

Marco Gabbiadini Bruce Dyer Gabbiadini is the one I had in mind At the time he fancied himself as a top level striker but didn’t seem to fancy it at our place Another big signing for us around the same time was Bruce Grobbelaar on loan , I think he relished it here

Amdy Faye, made 18 starts in the league during that first season in the Prem. For context, Diao also made 18 and Olofinjana made 14 yet I can't remember anything about Faye as a player whatsoever. had one really good game at home to The Shit I just remember him getting sent off away to Boro I think it was.

Jeff Whitley. Junior. Chris Riggott. Stephen Kelly. Did junior sign at the same time as Martin Kolar? Were they both Boskamp signings or am I getting mixed up.

Yeah certainly would and plenty of goals. We were really good away under Boskamp and he was a crazy bastard. Always gave me the impression he'd killed and buried people all across Europe. Serial killer vibes.

Played most games of his career at Huddersfield after leaving Stoke. Most of those games in Championship. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cowan
