Mendip City Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Gerard Lavin - short lived debut VS Millwall I believe... Debut and subsequent assault charge at Reading. He blasted the ball into the crowd and it hit someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Colin Loss Henry McKop Nathan Abbey Calvin Andrew Kevin Baddeley John Bain Alex Ball Dominic Barclay Mike Brolly Russell Bromage Ian Brown Rob Burch 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) Russell Bromage played quite a few games, and was an absolute gem, overlapping LB, used to play behind Walsh and the two of them were a marvellous double act. I'd not say he was obscure, I always rated him. Lots of injuries, mind. Anyone remember giant keeper Sieb Dykstra? I think we had him on loan from Motherwell, he also played for QPR. Mad hair, medallion and chest wig. Decent keeper though. Massive, massive kick. Anyone remember Ian Leigh? Keeper on loan from Bournemuff. Played one game. Jimmy Harvey.Steve "Rambo" Johnson. Not sure was really obscure, he started at United, Scott McGarvey. Johnson and McGarvey both useless in different ways. Rambo could head the ball (despite having a golf-ball sized bonce), but nothing - absolutely nothing - else. Went to Chester and scored against us . McGarvey had talent but was a total powder puff, recall he bottled a one-on-one with keeper against the Gas, IIRC. For which he was rightly slaughtered.

SecretSam Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Debut and subsequent assault charge at Reading. He blasted the ball into the crowd and it hit someone. ...think it broke the fella's wrist. Wasn't he one of Penis' signings? Surprised he wasn't made captain given Lousy Pint's love of "robust" players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Robert Fleck, ex Norwich & Rangers, David Howells & Darren Caskey both ex Spurs. Boaz Myhill from Villa at the time I think? Came on loan whilst at Chelsea, hadn't scored in something like 2 years due to injury and being left out - banged one in against Swindle in a crucial away game and nearly exploded with joy. I've never seen anyone do a "primal scream" like that after scoring a goal. Top player. Jason(?) Cundy, later survived cancer. BTW Jimmy Harvey was from Hereford. and Les Cartwright wins my award as the worst ever City player! IIRC, big centre half, on loan from ? Spurs. Decent player, banged in number 5 in a rout of someone at AG, can't recall who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Tony Malessa Also who was that young keeper we had who quit due to falling out of love with the game? Same bloke I think Alex Pretty sure Malessa jacked it in to be a copper in Weston?? Went on to play a bit of rugby too I believe Some great names on here, 'obscure' is a bit harsh to some of them though!

red panda Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sorry if already mentioned (but perhaps too obscure even for this thread). Have a vague memory of a player called Micky something, possibly a striker, not sure about the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ian Baird. Flicked us the V's in a freindly against Chelsea. Haha Then scored a consolation goal in our 2-1 defeat at Southend in the September, I remember being 13/14 and rushing to fence at the front of the stand only for him to flick the v's and tell us to **** off! I couldn't understand why but realised that behind me people were giving the same back! Odd days. On another note, someone in this thread has mentioned 'somebody Bryant'. Surely they don't mean Matt Bryant????? You'll never beat Matt Bryant....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
