One of our worst ever signings that. Bring back Lightbourne Kightly, the wish list version of Etherington |

Time to close the door on possibly the worst Brazilian footballer to have graced these shores. Absolutely shocking player When I was in hospital last August I asked a Villa fan who was across from me what he thought of Wesley and if we were getting a decent player. His response was that he'd back any of us on the ward to move quicker than him. I knew at that point we'd signed a sack of shit. |

Lightbourne had a 1 in 5 strike rate. About the same as Campbell. Scored over 20 goals for us so not sure how he's the worst ever.

I remember Davide Xausa playing against Bury when Lightbourne should of made his debut, looked really good just our players were way too slow to give him the ball and was caught off side quite a few times. Went up Scotland and had an half decent time there. |

Campbell's fitness was a main reason he couldn't last 90 minutes, not injury related . He couldn't manage 90 minutes before his injury |

He enquired about Scott and we said yes but would need to find a replacement first. MON suggested Sheron who wanted out of Norwich and was still commuting to Cheshire think it was and agreed to join us if the deal was right. The pay off from Norwich swung it apparently . Scott had scored lots of goals for Wycombe under Martin O'N. Was Macari who signed him from Swindon let's not forget . He really was bad One thing I always noticed was that after games, Scott would pretty much ignore everyone in the bar and sit on his own. Seem to remember him with his baby in a carry cot once and in the corner with a pint...Scott not the baby |

He was pretty clinical on that front. Was touted for England at one stage. Was quite a coup for Norwich but apparently he couldn't settle there and would drive home after games . He lived somewhere on the Manchester/Cheshire border seem to remember He was on a big contract at Norwich apparently so got a very tidy release £ as he'd only scored once for them. |

Can't remember the exact details but thought was an ok signing at the time due to Walsall like you said but sure he had some issues when he signed. Didn't he have some health problems like Oulare? |

Lots of nightmare names from the past there
But I cant believe nobody is mentioning the dream team of two former legends, now in their twighlight and 6 stone overweight each
Paul Stewart (of Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool fame) and Marco Gabbiadini (prolific striker for Sunderland and Derby).
Stewart got 3 in 22 in the awful 97-98 season, after which he went to Workington. About his level at that point.
Gabbiadini only played 9 times and scored once in a cup game (after a year in Greece, where it seemed he got a great tan and had a good time). Ended up at York then non league.
We did at least see Peter Thorne that year with 16 goals, but the shitshow around him (and relegation) was a wow moment, and that was after seeing Bamber, Ellis (who both went back to scoring elsewhere) etc.

I’m sure I remember him playing for them against us. He was crap for them an’all. |
