ashton_fan Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hardly obscure, Ken played a few hundred games in the 60s and 70s. Very under-rated, great passer. Ken Wimshurst went on to be Alan Dick's assistant when he stopped playing. He actually managed the club for the game after Dicks was sacked, away to QPR - we lost 4-0 (I went unfortunately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayOutWest Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 totally disagree You must be thinking of someone else. The Gary Marshall I am thinking about was a winger. Never amounted to anything as a player, and I often felt I could have taken his place. In fact most people could have taken his place and produced more. He reminded me of a wet weekend in June.

New Dazzler Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 My memory could be playing tricks but do I recall John Palmer making a subs appearance at Torquay which lasted about 10 seconds?...did he ever play for us again? And as for the Kelly brothers, I recall dancing around our living room when it was reported that Nyrere had netted the third away at Hereford just after Christmas in '82. That was a bit of a turning point for us... Remember him coming on as sub at Swindon, think we signed him from Weston , not the best even in League 4!

REDOXO Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If you go back to the 60s there are quite a few – e.g. John Emanuel – a Welch midfielder and Derrick Lythgoe – an “inside forward” (remember them?) who came from Norwich. A more recent player would be Russell Bromage. Signed by Terry Cooper and not too obscure as he played 40+ matches. Another Cooper signing who never gets a mention is Martyn Hurst. He came from non-league but also played played 40+ matches. An absolutely awful player was George Parris who came on loan in the 90s. There were quite a few players in the early days of the Gary Johnson era who came and went without making much of an impact. Osei Sankofa (4 ish matches), signed on loan as was Barry Corr (forward approx 2-3 matches) and Nathan Abbey (goalkeeper – 1 match) This would be the John Emanuel our player of the year in 73....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Emanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
