    Andy Evans was the post man. Mike Turner was a PE student or summat.

    See Conan, it's stuff like this that folk start having a go at you for. Some of the points you make are fair - our squad is thin at the minute for a championship side, and I'm not sure the signings we make will eventually be good enough to be properly excited by, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here.

    If those 5 are the oddest signings you can think we've ever made, you've a seriously short term memory, or you're trying to make some ulterior point (Boulding Mk II excepted, that was bloody crackers!).

    Jackson and Tuton were fair enough, young uns we though might be able to kick on, looks like they won't. Ah well. Are they as bad/mind boggling as others people have already suggested - Mido/Kell/Pollitt? Not for me.

    I thought Jabo Ibhere (spell check) who couldn't get a sniff at Colchester, was a pretty mind boggling signing. Yet I thought he was brilliant for us when he did play.

    From a negative point of view (names not mentioned yet in the thread):-
    Brian Sherratt, Larry McGettigan, Graham Collier, Jimmy Hinch, Jon Nixon, Don Souter, Mick McGuire.
    The most mind boggling positive signings:-
    Allan Clarke as player/manager, Ronnie Glavin when a regular in the Celtic team for many years, David Geddis for something like £50,000 from Aston Villa less than 18 months after he was on the bench for their European Cup Final win over Bayern Munich.

    Possibly cost us automatic promotion looking back on it. Release probably the best defender in the division. Try to replace him with Steve Chettle, David Tuttle and Keith Brown. Score shedloads of goals but concede a lot as well, and miss out on automatic promotion to a very average Manchester City side. Lose play-off final after one of the three failed replacements has a complete nightmare in one of the biggest games in BFC's history. In hindsight, getting rid of De Zeeuw was absolutely catastrophic.

    Yep, we were paying off for 2-3 years after he left.
