Peter Ward, end of thread. Oh and Martin Chivers.
Chesterfield home game was a crushing disappointment
Of course it's Bobby Smith. Nothing comes close. It would be like Wayne Rooney signing for Exeter.

Always remember his rattail
Saw him down George Street, Hove a few days after one of the few games he played for us and we had a bit of a singsong with him
I didn't particularly, but obviously hoped that he'd shine. I hadn't see him play particularly. I was gutted about my favourite player Muzza being allowed to leave.

Eight years ago, a turning point in the club's history.
Not sure which way though.

Scored the best ever goal for the Albion, into the North, surpassed only many years later, by Bobby Z away at Bury. Sublime!

Vicente by a country bloody mile
Massively excited by the Beamish signing, from exotic Tranmere.

Massively excited by the £25000 transfer fee, our record at the time, for a player I'd seen and wished he was one of ours. Tranmere or not..............

I agree that he was Albion's most exciting player eventually, but when he was signed from Burton for £4000 (?) no one knew about him. He played in the reserves for some time and scoring on a regular basis. It was when Wardy took Fred Binney's place away to Hereford that most of us sat up and took notice. Getting his debut goal in the first minute helped, and I woz there!

How soon is now?
I think for me it was CMS. As I recall, it was mooted that GP was going to play at the REMF golf day and at the last minute he pulled out, apparently as he had to go and meet ' a player' with regards to signing. If true, that player was CMS. Allegedly He had the chance to go to a couple of premier league teams, but chose us. That really showed our intent I thought. The rest I guess is history.
WAYNE Bridge, yes he was in the twilight of his career, but he was a class above what we'd ever seen before at left back.
And finally Bobby Z the second time. Yes his body was ****ed, but he chipped in with a few great goals and his own reaction to scoring in front of the Amex Northstand showed his love for this club

Bobby Smith for me. Unbelievable signing at the time. The England centre forward of 18 months earlier playing for Brighton in div 4. With all due respect to Ward and Vicente, I had not heard of either of them when they signed.

That. Played for England and a household name. In another era he'd have got a shed load of caps bearing in mind he was behind Shilton and Clemence.
In recent years Wayne Bridge. 90k a week at Citeh and he rocks up at the Albion. Marcos Painter was a great servent and all that but what an upgrade.
