Alan Wright was a good fullback before we signed greame le saux.  Remember the summer after we won the league.  Dalglish stepped down then Ray harford took over instead of signing from a position of s

Been doing a wiki trawl of Rovers post-Bowyer and there's a fair few players I have no recollection of:

Matthew Kilgallon

Chris Taylor

Nathan Delfouneso

Tom Lawrence

Stephen Hendrie

Sam Hart (I do remember him, but I couldn't remember his first name)

I'd be interested to know if there was a story behind Chris Taylor's time at Rovers, because he had a great reputation as an old-fashioned winger, from what I heard, and was a consistent performer for Oldham and Millwall. Then he came to us and seemed to struggle and then, looking at his record, his career fell away somewhat. 

I see that he's still only 35 years old and is with FC United.

I saw him play for FCUM a couple of weeks ago. He looked a little portly and got the hook at half time.

Chris Taylor, playing for Millwall at Ewood, absolutely destroyed us. He ran the show brilliantly for them.

I was delighted when he signed for us but he didn't seem to be the same player. Maybe his character let his footballing ability down.

Players I wish we could forget..... Bradley Orr, Danny Murphy, david goodwillie, Anthony Stokes, Shane Duffy... Just from recent memory! 

 

Oh and one real cracker of a "Forgotten player" from not really that long ago! that I don't think has been mentioned yet! 

Grzegorz Sandomierski

Don't forget the man with probably the most ironic name in football; Leon Best. God I wish I could forget him.

If I remember correctly, his only goal for us came when he scored an own goal while playing for another club...

He scored the equaliser away at Derby on the opening day of Bowyer's first full season. I seem to remember it was a pretty good finish. 

 

That one aberration aside though, one of our worst signings in the last 10 years, and that's saying something.

Best scored two goals in his time here, dreadful player and personality.

He was crap. Slow, didn't score and assist, not skilful, not creative, not a good passer. I think he tried his best but nothing beyond that.

The above goal was actually a Chris Taylor assist haha.

He reminded me of Reid another ex Millwall winger we recruited whose attributes - ie physical with a fair whack of energy - looked far better suited to centre of the park. Of course whilst that worked fantastically for Reid under Hughes, it wasn't really tried with Taylor.

Anthony stokes.

always thought he could be a very good player but had the Ben Marshall’s about him 

Just checked Marshall's career. Still only 31, playing for Stoneclough in the West Lancashire Football League division 1 (12th tier).

I do give Mowbray credit for getting shut of Stokes quickly. The whole Stokes episode a stain on our club.

Compared to Stokes and imo Ben Marshall is a choir boy who did put in good performances at Rovers.

Tony Watt was a wasted yet talented player, now at Dundee Utd, and still not scoring.
