I genuinely have no idea who he is. I don't remember him playing for us, although wiki says he did make ten appearances. Strange as I remember pretty much every other player from around this dismal time for the club, but not this guy.

10 apps and scored one goal against Utd apparently. Me too, ave no recollection of this guy.

[Mattyblue]

Aye, didn't he come in at the same time as Nathan Blake? Then Ashley Ward not long after. 

Premier League champions to that in 4 years

Was a Roy Hodgson signing I think. Think an Italian Jason Lowe. Games seemed to pass him by. Not up to the speed and intensity of the Premier League

Slightly less ineffectual than that Baggio guy.

Another forgotten man who was featured recently in our excellent "Who Were You?" series. Raises the possibility that he was actually underrated and underused in 98/99. Another from that era coming in this February's Issue 95!

Thanks....we've also had Dino Baggio, Richard Brown, Johann Vogel, Alan Fettis and Javier de Pedro featured in the past - always brings back stories which are barely remembered!!

Marcolin was class but he’s no:

Coincidentally enough the next one in February is someone from that same season who played in the same position as Sebastian Perez.... who of course gets a few mentions!!

What do they get, a sentence each ?

When we played Glencirbigli away I dashed home from work to watch the game on TV. I missed the first minute or so and I didn't know who was playing. After about 5 minutes I'd figured out 10 of the team but I couldn't figure out the 11th player. Then about 30 minutes into the game Baggio finally touched the ball and I realised he was playing !

That's the last replica shirt I thought that was worth buying and wearing. It's a darker blue in reality, like the traditional blue we wore for years.

He appeared briefly as a sub in an FA Cup game, according to wiki, so it could be from that. To be fair the lad was only 18/19 at the time. Strange that we bought him in then shipped him out so quickly, considering how young he was. 

[Oldgregg86]

I remember the name . Never saw him. Any back story on that . Was he awful or was it attitude
