WayOutWest Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 How about Dani Rodrigues Terrible injury. Will long live in the memory. Everyone seemed to love him though, and I wouldn't say he was obscure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Gary Stanley, was he really a professional footballer! He might have been washed up by the time he got to us but he played a lot of top flight games for Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hardly obscure , a stalwart in the 4th Division , must have played 100 games or more. How about John Palmer ? 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a song but a song. Played about 100 games too. Jon Economou, Steve Johnson, Steve Jones. I seemed to remember a few strikers on loan that never scored until they left us !
