I can remember a few players in the past - Andy Cole for one. He hadnt scored for weeks until we played them and scored a bagful.
Ade akinbiyi couldn't buy a goal till he played against us and another more recent one is billy fecking sharp!!
Gifton Noel Williams, was on the bench at Burnley, came off the frigger and netted a hat-trick. Plays in the lower leagues of Spain now if my memory serves me right
Then there was Michael "£140k a week" Owen when we played Newcastle last season. Revitalised his career we did.
Deon Burton, after a dismal loan spell at the well, went back to Derby and scored a hat-trick i think it was in the premiership for Derby. Jim Smith joked he should send more players out on loan to barnsley.
Gifton Noel Williams It was reported on August 18, 2008, that Noel-Williams may join Neftchi Baku of Azerbaijan.
