I wish I could forget Nordshite played for us.

I still remember well him jogging back and then stopping in the penalty area to admire Coutinho waltzing through our box and scoring as Liverpool thrashed us 4-0.

I have no recollection of him joining us whatsoever
Set up Rice's first goal for us, so I've seen him in clips of it when it's been posted in various places quite frequently. Every time I have an 'oh yeah, him!' reaction. Think he was actually pretty decent but only played about 3 times.

Haven't trawled through the previous posts but I remember seeing Mido on loan from Middlesbrough make his debut at Burnley - he was pretty poor then and it didn't get any better. I have lifted this from wiki:-

He made his debut for West Ham on 6 February in 2–1 away defeat against Burnley.In nine appearances for West Ham he failed to score and had a tame penalty saved in a 2–2 away draw against Everton. In June 2010, West Ham decided not to offer him a new contract.

I seem to remember being mildly excited about his signing but no idea why.

Probably because he was called 'Terrier' :oops:

Scored something like 3 goals for Liverpool across the year 2000. Although we got him at a cut price, with add-ons (which would have meant Liverpool broke even), it was still too much. Played intermittently, and then fell out with Glenn Roeder (played once in 2001/2002).

I think one could write a book on the Rio money.

Because you thought he was going to give everyone the runaround but his bark turned out to be worse than his bite ?

Hales never played for us. He just did a sponsored walk on the pitch a few times.

Just skimming through the 9 pages of this thread and you start to get an understanding of why we hadn't won anything for over 40 years.

Some of the players named actually made me feel quite sick.
