I’ve just seen that Barnet have appointed Darren Currie as their new manager today and that got me to wondering if it was him? Pretty sure that we made a tidy profit on him. Did he not sign twice and one of those was the incident that you mentioned when he was in and out in the blink of an eye.....

As pointed out to me rather terseley above :)lolol:) it was someone else. Currie was with us for half a season or so and we got £250K for him so I recall. Exquisitely gifted, but a bit lazy.

Does he have acrobatic celebrations?

Yep, they let off Fireworks when he scores. :goal:

Apparently he's going to help (In)Design Stoke's new kit because he's a very keen Illustrator.

We also did it with Mark Wright whilst at the Withdean, although he played a handful of games for us first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wright_(footballer,_born_1982)

Darren Currie wasn’t at us for very long either, was he?

The one we sold before he kicked a ball was, as pointed out above, Paul Holsgrove. Looks like we not only dodged a bullet but turned a tidy profit. Here is his illustrious career at a glance:

1987–1990 Aldershot 3 (0)
1990 Farnborough Town
1990–1991 Wokingham Town
1991 Luton Town 2 (0)
1991–1992 Heracles Almelo 21 (6)
1992–1994 Millwall 11 (0)
1994–1997 Reading 70 (6)
1997 → Grimsby Town (loan) 10 (0)
1997–1998 Crewe Alexandra 8 (1)
1998 Stoke City 12 (1)
1998 Brighton & Hove Albion 0 (0)
1998–1999 Hibernian 17 (1)
1999 → Airdrieonians (loan) 4 (0)
2000 Darlington 3 (0)
2000 Hayes 30 (0)
2000–01 Slough Town 32 (3)
2001 Windsor & Eton
Total 223 (18)

Yes, we sold Holsgrove to Hibs for a reported £100k a few weeks after getting him on a free. I remember seeing him play for us in a pre-season friendly against Lewes at the Dripping Pan.

Mark Wright is the example I thought of too.
