TRL Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Dean Horrix, the guy who had the car crash? Poor fella Aye, in no way am I saying this to be horrible, but because of his Death we got a fantastic player in Nicky Morgan. RIP Dean, we never really got to see what kind of player you were.

Toblerone Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 ken whimshurst,who scored a 20 yarder in the first game of the season,in a 4.3 win over sunderland in 74! slart will put me right! Hardly obscure, Ken played a few hundred games in the 60s and 70s. Very under-rated, great passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toblerone 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. Don't think John was too obscure either, got a handful of caps for Wales and scored the winner vs ManUre in 74-75, could tackle a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Goalkeeper Mike Hooper was here for a while back in the 80's, only ever played 1 game (maybe against R*vers???)

Eco Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can't have that, he even had his own song (sort of) Emanual.. immaculate and just repeat. 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 ! Economou was not obscure !

Red Exile Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Economou was not obscure ! Agreed. An ever present for a bit. Scored one sublime goal v Hartlepool (?) after a mazy run.

Chappers Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 A guy called Bryant, lanky centre back, two games, scored on debut, not good. And no, not Matty. Was it Simon?
