Ex players we were very excited about in the recent past - Now looking rather silly.

[Jimmy Grimble]

Gary Borrowdale.


Wasn't particularly excited by him, but thought he did pretty well for us when on loan in the 'great escape' season under Slade and was disappointed that we never signed him permanently. Now playing for Carrick rangers. Waste.

edit - should read the thread title properly before posting

Who was the other french winger we had? Not Carole the other one at around the same time?

David Martot wasn't it?

We were very excited about Razak after one game!

 

[Icy Gull]

Seb Carole, looked the real deal when he first came here.

 

[Kazenga <3]

Darren Currie

 

[5mins-from-amex]

When we lost Danny Cullip i was gutted!

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Darren Currie

Really? He was one of the best set piece takers we've ever had.

Maheta Malango got people excited after the first 12 seconds of competitive football

 

[Box of Frogs]

Chris Birchill and Doug Livermore - thought it was going to be the dream midfield to move us up the table. Ended up being Doug Loft and Tommy Fraser saving us from relegation.

David Livermore. Wasn't Doug Livermore a coach at Spurs or something?

 

[Farehamseagull]

I remember being very excited about Diego Arizmendi when we signed him and then quite disapointed when I saw him play.

 

[Jim D]

'Silky' Dave Cameron - saw him in a pre-season match at Worthing and he looked great, but that's as far as it went.

 

[marshy68]

Jake Robinson. I remember someone on here referring to him as the new Michael Owen.

whatever you say about Jake - i will never forget the amazing hatrick he scored away at huddersfield happy days.

 

[kjgood]

Heard Peter Ward's not so good nowadays.

 

[Braders]

Baz and Batti - bloody promising Youtube videos..

 

[Bra]

Remember thinking that the club had made a mistake letting Bas Savage leave. I guess I am over that now!

 

[Arthur]

whatever you say about Jake - i will never forget the amazing hatrick he scored away at huddersfield happy days.

Isn't that the point of this thread? Scored a hattrick up there, was referrer to by some as the new Michael Owen and is now warming the bench for Northampton in the fourth division. Not really lived up to that billing.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Didn't Theiry Racon suffer a bad leg break after he left us and didn't really recover?

 

[Simon Morgan]

I remember being really excited about the arrival of Liam Dickinson

 

[jackcgull]

Mickey Thomas - potential world class - but never wanted to be with us. ditto cloughy

 

[Medwayseagull]

'Silky' Dave Cameron - saw him in a pre-season match at Worthing and he looked great, but that's as far as it went.

Just like his namesake pre and post General Election.
