mighty__mag Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) I could never understand how Steven Taylor hung around for so long, even captained the side, the lad was a total liability. Edited August 5 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some good spells with us, even got an England call up and was the England U-21 captain at some point, his luck with injuries was bad though.

Played full season for Keegan and only sold as we had spent big on Warren Barton. 60+ caps for Switzerland, some during his time with us, and five international goals; definitely could play. Was a better full back than Barton tbh. Barton was a massive weak link in 95/96, and we ludicrously overpaid for him. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a top gadgie, but Christ we wasted that £4.5m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Amdy Faye Geremi Alan Smith All of them just awful in every game they played. And they played 198 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Just remembered Paul Robinson. 0 goals in 11 games. Third tier standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhere Man Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Malcolm Brown was pretty gash, can’t remember who we were playing but remember about 12 offside free kicks he took were all grasscutters .. surprised he got a good run out in the team that season.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Mark Stimson is still the worst first team regular I’ve ever seen in B&W Fumaca is still the worst I’ve seen generally - poor sod was our Ali Dia. Like a rabbit in headlights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Wilson - got hooked at HT in KK's first game as boss - 3-0 win at home to Bristol City. Bloody hell, forgot about Wilson. We had a couple of loan flops in that terrible season - I can remember getting Andy Walker from Celtic as well and in desperation it being exciting that we were signing a Scottish international (one who probably only played a handful of times and was shite in those games) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was also Gavin Maguire, Tommy Gaynor and Dave Mitchell around that time - all appeared on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were truly bleak times - I feel jealous of those who’ve never seen us at the foot of the second tier (though even then my dad used to tell me that the late ‘70s - early ‘80s were worse). Even the two sides relegated in the PL era were smattered with some excellent players and both sides bounced back as second division winners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally everyone else in this thread at least scored a goal or did something, despite being unequivocally shite. Nobody else to my knowledge has come on the field pissed, missed an open goal and never played again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our goals were really well worked, and the ones we conceded were fucking ridiculous - worse than Sunday league stuff. Summed that season up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could play, had decent footballers but no clue how to do even the basics of defending or pressing or anything to make life difficult for the opposition. Even fucking Pardew scored in this game. I walked out after this game convinced the club would not only be relegated to the old third, but that we may even cease to exist. Last season was a walk in the park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
