Just listened to Mido on Talksport, obviously hadn’t forgotten his spell with us, but reading his wiki page just after, he was released on the same day as Lee Collins. I don’t remember him whatsoever - though he apparently played a few games on loan at the end of 11/12, signed in the summer but never played again, released in January 13. I must have had a bump to the head - no recollection whatsoever. Anyone seen names of players mentioned who you don’t recall? I must be getting old.
Literally dozens. only notice em on sites like this. Some played quite a few games n’all when looked on their Wikipedia page. Ps I am renowned for my **** memory.
Lee Collins wasn't a bad player. He just didn't get a proper chance. He was getting rave reviews when we signed him from Port Vale. He played a few matches then was forgotten about. Edwards from Wolves was supposed to be Shackell's replacement but hardly played. Toni Silva was supposed to be a top player who just needed breaking in gently. He made one sub appearance away at Hull if memory serves me correctly.
The game against leeds where Hourihane scored that free kick was on sky the other day, we had a Jones at left back and for the life of me I cannot remember him.
Gethin Jones, remember him being a decent player, but not done anything since leaving us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethin_Jones_(footballer,_born_1995)
Now you mention his name I do remember him, but only by name I don't remember his performances. When the teams sheets came up before the highlights I didn't have a clue.
... I did ask whether you’d seen names mentioned who you didn’t recall, not if you can remember anyone you’ve forgotten!!!
He was so good we didn't even contemplate a bid to Stoke because he was deemed too far out of our structure. I really liked him.
It this the bit where the thread turns into a list of forgotten loanees? OK. Phil Gray, Piri, Filipe Teixeira, Andranik Teymourian etc. etc.
