David Cross
Ray Hankin

But one players name, when big Jack, was our manager, was linked, I think, for 2 consecutive summers, think somethinng like £30k was quoted back then

Motherwell & Scotlands CF, Willie Pettigrew

[markmywords]

Rene Houseman. Argentina international

Rene Houseman. Argentina international

Yes, that was on then off, then to sign after a friendly fixture, then nothing after that game, what was all that about

[borope]

I remember going to watch the reserves cos we had 2 trialists playing was it Nicolai Toderov and Dwight Blackson ? There was a big crowd as well thats how bad things where in those days getting excited over a couple of trialists we had never heard of.

Glad i got the names right. Nicky Peverall on the bench didnt he become a local DJ or something ?

[Mike Peeler]

I remember when Ray Hankin signed he had some thighs on him, and looked a right unit, not much came of him in the end

[Westlane_rightwinger]

Derek Hales.

Remember his first game. Not very mobile but was excellent with his head. Not always directed at the ball though.😄

[erimus74]

Ray Hankin got sent iff on his Biro debut along with Mick Kennedy, w ended up losing 4-1 at home to Grimsby

Good player Mick Kennedy just a pity he played for us when our team was so poor.

Thats narrowing down a bit Blotty 🤔😉

Christian Vieri. Rumour was, we were in for him and he was keen to come, but we got relegated. Would have been some signing that, he was one of the best strikers in the world at the time.

Remember it well but I didn't know vieri was one. Remember it being batistuta and roberto Carlos if we'd stayed up. I was only 6 or 7 mind

Not heard Batistuta one, was Vieri and Carlos as I remember. Batistuta was some player as well mind. We aren't having those days again unless we get a mega rich owner. Great what Gibbo did back then, but it was always going to catch up with him the spending during that time. Don't think we ever recovered from it to be honest.

It hit us in 2006. We had to win the uefa really. We cut our cloth then the housing crash happened and gibbo converted our debt to equity if I remember right

Yup we were skint 

Whether we like it or not, we won't see them days again until there is a serious backer. I'm happy for us to be in the prem, being a team whose priority is to stay up. The championship sucks arse, there is only one place to be.

The finance is different now. We are lucky to have seen the Juninho days like. Bloke was a superstar

[Blott]

It's driving me nuts now, I have been through every player and can't remember his name.


A bit like Archie Stevens.
