If he's 21 , never played league football and isn't better than Joe nuttall then why bother 

Who's to say he isn't better than Nuttall?

Ah I've just remembered Steve Archibald, another absolutely top notch player for us in the season we had him.

I think we ended up with Ossie Ardiles too, around the same time.

Ian Wright had a decent career as well.

[Oldgregg86]

I hope it works out . 

Let's see how it pans out.

Call me negative I'm fairly confident this lad will never make it into our first team or any championship team on a regular basis and will be let go and back down the leagues within three seasons and I have never seen him play.  Feel free to drag this back up and destroy me when he makes his England debut ?

And Stuart Pearce, worked all day on site as labourer, then kicked lumps out of wingers at night

Have an old VHS of it somewhere and i'm sure Lennie Lawrence was doing some co commentary and came across as the only one giving any credit to Rovers from start to finish.

By the way Speedie 'won' the pen he conned the defender into helping him over... What a player for us he was not sure we've had anyone since made such an impact in such a short time with the club.  Proper Rovers cult hero.

I’d throw Yakubu into that bracket. Only one season, but a fantastic season. One ray of hope in the darkness of the Kean Era.

Geoff Horsfield, the Guiseley Town bricklayer, made a decent lower-Prem, upper Champ career at West Brom.

[BillC]

In terms of impact per minute nobody beats  Keith Fear. 2 first half goals at the Turd on Boxing Day 1977 to send us in 3-0 up. Arrived late the worse for a few pints in Padiham and had no clue who he was.

Hakan sukur did ok in his short time heee

Berkovic was the consummate lock picker.

You're thinking of Jon Walters

[Oldgregg86]

Not to the level of previous mentions but I always thought john Curtis was a steady defender the short time he was here

Good call and at any other time under any other manager he'd have been firing us to safety or Europe.

Just found his feet then Souness dropped him and it went tits up from there, shame he was class.

Come to think of it i'd have Hakan Unsall at left back now he didn't mess about he'd have suited the championship.

Loving the history we're talking about but it's a bit off topic.

Would think there must be a reason he’s being linked with other Champ/League One clubs...

You never know, and you have to buy a ticket if you want to pick a winner.

I do understand your cynicism, but that’s quite the balls out position to take based on no evidence whatsoever! ?

Godspeed!
