Stuart Myall - I thought we were going to see our first £1m player, but sadly I was a long way wrong on this one.

Joel Lynch - Ok made a decent career as a centre back, but looked a quality prospect, when he broke through at left back.

Joe Gatting - Gifted footballer and cricketer ended up disappointing in both.

The cohort of fans that used to attend all the reserve games at the Goldstone (£1 entry, including your single sheet 'programme') were very big fans of both Gipp and Muir.

Neither really got a chance to see if they were up to the job. In both cases physical stature counted against them I think.

Muir, went off to become Tranmere Rovers' all time record goal-scorer, so we certainly got that one wrong. Gipp dropped to non-league and then became a market trader, so harder to argue for him, I guess.

Stuart Myall, our first million pound player, seriously?

Definately agree with the other two though. Add to your list Paul Hinshelwood perhaps?

Joe Gatting

Might have been a promising player at junior level, but at first team level he was WAY off the level required, even at lowly Withdean level (nickname: SloJo). In fact didn't he pack in football after he left us earlydoors to pursue a career in cricket?
