Some of these suggestions are players that are well known from the last 10-15 years. Depends on your age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Sibierski the first that came to mind for me. Was a signing that was derided and laughed at by people both in and out of our fanbase and he scored some important goals that year, particularly in Europe. More recent but Daryl Murphy probably another. That pivotal week where we played Brighton and Huddersfield away, he came off the bench to change the game in the first and then scored a really clever goal in the second, as well as chipping in with some goals in other games in the latter half of that season. Paddy van Aanholt also did a very good two month stint at left back for us the year we came up under Hughton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Does N'Zogbia count? Dunno if he was forgotten and I know he was a bit of a twat but he had his moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends ask what happened to Mikel Merino at Newcastle. Was he bad? Bad management? Honest answer is Diame and Shelvey turned into Petit and Vieira-lite for a few months and Merino went crying off back to Sociedad. Prior Merino looked class.

Glass is a good call, if he wasn't made out of glass. Can't count Diame as he's rrmembered. 1 minute ago, huss9 said: Aye Daryl Murphy, cult hero Le Sibs a good call.

Anyone who was at Oakwell to watch him and Ranson attempt a 1-2, only for the ball to just roll out of play to the utter scorn of the away fans hasn't lived. I was at that match and it's the only thing I can remember from the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) I wanted to pick someone that hasn't been mentioned yet, but Kevin Brock is the one. Jeff Clarke and Clarence Acuna are good shouts too. For some reason Sir Bob didn't seem to rate Acuna that highly. PS - Just thought of a new one for the mix. Darren Jackson.

Jonas Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Don't know if slim pickings or if he was actually decent and forgotten but whenever we did our best XIs and subs, Alain Goma always got a look in to mine until recent times.

That was probably the nadir of Fereday's time at the toon and that's saying something. He was Obertan before Obertan was even a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I know he was at the end of his career/in his thirties, but I really liked Roy Aitken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Oba Martins, Rondon, Viduka and N'Zogbia come to mind. First 3 were key players for us in that era and never really get talked about, the latter was just never allowed to shine but was clearly excellent. Also rated Marveaux tbh, definitely thought there was a top player in there although never really got chance to show it.

My memories are that he was absolutely shite, constantly, screamer away at Southampton apart. Highlights include him ducking out of the crucial Alkmaar away game at the last second through another dubious "injury" and allowing Huntington to get an absolute scuttling at left-back, and pissing his pants laughing as he arrived as a sub in an 0-3 howking at the hands of Liverpool under Allardyce.

Yorkie Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Daryl Murphy is the sweet spot in answer to this, like, doubt I can beat it. Fair play to Pilks there. Acuna is so well forgotten that literally everyone remembers him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
