Port Said Red Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Paul Holland for me. He, Sean Dyche and Billy (the fish) Mercer all came from a Chesterfield side that had an amazing cup run the year before, and Dyche and Holland gave the impression that they had fulfilled their lives ambitions in doing so. Billy was another with an unlucky injury that finished his career, he could have been a legend. In fact that would be a better book, "the might have beens but for bad luck and or circumstances" and in the case of Dean Horrix incredibly sad circumstances. I remember crying over Dean Horrix and I had only seen him play twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember crying over Dean Horrix and I had only seen him play twice. Did Mercer wear squad number 2 or have I made that up? The amount of useless loanees/short termers people are bringing up is ridiculous! Would be interesting to see the total amount of players we've had on our books in the last decade or so...

Major Isewater Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Another couple of contenders: Martin fat and unfunny Kuhl Ian Baird Seebok Robert Fleck Since when does four make a "couple" ? Seebok was an excellent centre back and could land a super ball from defence right in the path of a forward .So for me it's a "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seebok was an excellent centre back and could land a super ball from defence right in the path of a forward .So for me it's a "no". Sebok as you say, definitely not, I would put him and Vegard Hansen up as two of our better signings. I have just remembered Gary Stanley as well, if the book is about those with a reputation that seemed undeserved then he would be page 1. More concerned about messing up his hair than anything else.

supercidered Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sebok only made 23 appearances for City and he cost quite a bit to sign him. It also took an age to get him over here once he did sign. What was the reason for his lack of games for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Any player tinman signed in his last summer with us. Bar alex russel. Couple of donkeys from swindon, that welsh centre half we got from motherwell. Bridges and stewart. What a woeful transfer window that was. Although at the time we thought we would go on to dominate the league. Oh and caskey i believe. Got to go down as the worst transfer window in our history surely.

Oops Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The bewildered looking Sean Davis. He arrived with his left knee in 2011, his right knee having retired to a picturesque village in the Cotswolds in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loderingo Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Has no-one mentioned Stern John yet? Also could add Andy Keogh, Liam Robinson, Rodney McAree, Henry McKop, Kelly Youga. Dave Partridge was the guy from Motherwell and was one of the one's involved in the brawl if I remember rightlyFor me Dyche is still the worst I have seen overall.

Red-Robbo Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sebok only made 23 appearances for City and he cost quite a bit to sign him. It also took an age to get him over here once he did sign. What was the reason for his lack of games for us? Tony Pulis and his irrational fear of foreigners. (something he managed to overcome when Stoke's Icelandic owners were paying his wages) Sebok went from us to the German 1st division, scoring against Bayern Munich and playing in the Olympic Games.

Rich_s Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Another couple of contenders: Martin fat and unfunny Kuhl Ian Baird Seebok Robert Fleck No way on Vilmos Sebok. A very decent defender in the classic sweeper style. Signed by Benny Lennartsson I believe, midway through the season and departed when the Pulis took over due to the fact Pulis struggled with anybody who wasn't British.

exiledinwatford Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 For me Dyche is still the worst I have seen overall. I can understand this although I do feel a bit sorry for him. Ward played him without being fit and he never recovered. Still finished his playing career in the division above us as captain at Millwall. Not surprised he seems to be making a fist of management. Funny story - I was waiting at the players entrance and got someone's autograph (can't remember who) and I ask if Sean was coming out, so the player found Dyche and I said it was Sean Goaters' autograph I wanted. Dyche looked totally fed up and went back to get the Goat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Jim Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Grant Smith for swindle, scored a screamer against the gas in a pre season friendly He was total crap. Him and Matt Heywood - awful. Dave Partridge is one of the worst I can remember, always remember him giving a goal away by ducking out of the way of a long ball to let it run through to the keeper, when the striker nipped in and scored. James Quinn, Northern Irish INTERNATIONAL striker who we had on loan under Johnson was also totally hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
