Andy Sinton was an excellent winger with QPR. Total cobblers for Spurs and England, however.

And Lee Sharpe, of course.

Paul Warhurst deserves a mention. Defender turned striker because of an injury crisis. Scored a whole lot of goals for Sheffield Wednesday. When defenders cottoned on to him, he moved into midfield and rarely heard of again.

:clap: cracking story!

Interesting that no one has mentioned any of the Blackburn side of the mid-1990s. Apart from Flowers, Hendry, Shearer and Sutton, they were all very average players... Edit: Ripley now has a mention!

Everton had Robert Warzycha and Preki in the 1990s. Cult heroes at the time, and really good players, but I doubt many have heard of either of them since.

That's another good call. And David Hillier! OK, not exactly good, but it amazes me that Jimmy Carter got to play for both Liverpool and Arsenal in the 1990s.

Thank you!

By the way, who was Southampton boss when they were signing these flairniacs and thrashing Man Utd 6-3? It can't have been Branfoot or Alan Ball could it?

Anyone remember Glenn Helder of Arsenal? Or Franz Carr of Nottingham Forest?

That was a great bunch of players. And little Pahars too!

Didn't Wayne Rooney describe him as his childhood hero when Limpar played for Everton?

Are you kidding? A very memorable flair player!

But he was a flairniac, which surely made him memorable? Oh, and giving away a penalty in the 1982 Cup Final.

Does anyone remember Bozo Jankovic? And no cheating by Googling his name! If not, we have a candidate.

In the tennis world, the answer would be Guy Forget.
