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

I could never figure that out. When my son and I were discussing who would need replacing when we made the step up to the Premier League he was one of the last players to be replaced. 
How soon is soon matey ? Lucas Neill came about 10 years after Curtis had gone. David May replaced Curtis.

We are talking about the same John Curtis here aren't we!? 😄😄😄

Bobby Svarc - came with Jim Smith from Colchester

Bobby stayed in Blackburn after his football career ended and I'm sure many of us ended up with a burglar alarm bearing his name.

Gary Flitcroft.  I think the clubs philosophy back then was if anyone played well against us we would sign them.

That 1999 team was full of duds

I thought Flitcroft was a decent player for us. I would love to see someone of his quality in our midfield right now. He would be the perfect foil for Morton and A Wharton.

Think there was a fella Gary Croft aswell.

Crazy comment! He was a fixture of our midfield for not far off a decade.

Remember Croft scoring a scorcher against Chelsea in our early season title challenge in 97/98

True dat about your opening comment😄 but to think Flitcroft was a "Forgotten player" isn't far off saying Dunn or MGP are forgotten players. 

Flitcroft did all the dirty work that allowed the likes of Tugay and Dunn to flourish.

Id say more of an unsung hero than forgotten 🤔

Now that names are just getting repeated on this topic maybe a new similar topic for Unsung Heroes Could be the next topic 

 

There's been players over the decades that might have only played a handful of games(or even just one!) and saved our bacon in some way (think jon stead for an obvious example) then theres others like Flitcroft above that captained the side for years but kept a relatively low profile and rarely made headlines

There's a player I've never heard of! When did Bradley Who play for us? 😉

He's had a few outings for the U21s.

God! Just remembered one "forgotten player" that I don't think has even got a mention on here yet even though he's pretty much the epitome of the topic imo!  Nicky Marker🙌 The most dependable , reliable no nonsense CB or DM you could have as back up on your bench. Always filled in brilliantly when the likes of Hendry, batty , etc.. were injured 

 

Marker also pretty much destroyed man u class of 92 graduate Ben Thorleys blossoming career with a nasty tackle that literally snapped Thornleys leg in half pretty much 😞 I think it was only a reserve gave as well

 

good little interview https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/february/champions-nicky-marker/
