Not sure how Nards can be on this list! Yeah he came from the higher leagues, but he had hardly played regular football for Blackpool in the prior 2 years. In my opinion 19 goals was a good return over 2 seasons, especially considering he got the bulk of them in our relegation season.

Hoskins for me, can't blame the lad for being injured, just gutted we didn't get to see what he had to offer!

Disbelief...
Tomlinson, another ex-Man Utd youth player

Reiner Moor, Irish U-21, clearly had talent and knew where the goal was but also the bottom of a pint glass too from all accounts

Good thread, I started a similar one a couple of years back but can't find it.

For me there's been too bloody many, but the following spring to mind, I think all mentioned already:

Chris Fry: joined us as Colchester's player of the year and with their fans wondering how we could possibly have persuaded him to sign. Was mediocre at best.

John O'Flynn: supposed goal machine that just didn't really score any goals. I expected Sean Devine, we got Dean Stamp.

Marcus Stewart: clear calibre, and much like Fry joined us as Yeovil (one division higher) POTY. Again, totally mediocre.

Neil Saunders: his housemate George Friend kept telling me he was brilliant, and apparently he was indeed superb in training. However, almost always injured and save for the goal v Barnet, delivered very little.
