Town’s most forgettable XI 19:03 - Apr 9 with 4934 views | selondonblue23 | Inspired by seeing mention of Ben Pringle on an earlier thread - whose Town career almost entirely passed me by - I thought I’d pick an XI of players who I can basically not remember playing for us. A lot of loanees obviously - my only rule was they have to have actually played. So no Paddy Kenny, Jason Brown of Sean St Ledger. A lot of these were decent Div 1/Championship players elsewhere (and some even did OK for us), but they’re the kind of players I actually have to check played for us. I’ve gone for a workmanlike, snap-your-hand-off-for-a-point 4-5-1. Other players very much welcome. Who’s been cruelly overlooked? Any centre forward options? Macken still feels a bit obvious to me. (Also serves as a nice reminder of how good we are at present, regardless of how the next few weeks go!) *** Gerrard Richardson Collins Kisnorbo Elder Green Pringle Stevenson Gleeson Carayol Barnett SUBS Barber Bates Georgiou Diagouraga Feeney Dawkins Macken | | | | |
Town’s most forgettable XI on 10:21 - Apr 10 with 740 views | woodbridge_blue | How can this thread have reached fifty points without a mention of Larsen Toure.....although maybe he is actually extremely memorable for his unique corner kick routine? | | | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 21:03 - Apr 9 by flykickingbybgunn | Steve Stacey. Signed.played 15 minutes,broke his leg and that was it. Poor Steve. |
Although is remembered as the first black player to play a first-team game for Town, and also the first African American to play in English football. Made three appearances in total. Had him on Life's a Pitch some years back. Audio link now won't work. | | | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 11:05 - Apr 10 with 693 views | JammyDodgerrr | Rory Fallon is a good one. Think it was a short term loan from Plymouth. And that guy we signed from MK Dons under cook and then let go to Charlton almost immediately? | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 11:18 - Apr 10 with 686 views | Superblue95 | Chris Goteni. Signed by Mick from some lower league French club. Not sure if he ever played though so might not count but he’s pretty forgettable. | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 11:43 - Apr 10 with 663 views | Hipsterectomy | Mark Fish is definitely memorable for an almost movie-like end of career. The guy who won’t retire, finally gets a game for a new club, doesn’t even last a half, is subbed and never seen again | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 23:39 - Apr 9 by ArnoldMoorhen | Surely anyone who gets in such an XI has to pass the "Who was that bloke who..?" test. As in: "Who was that bloke who came on loan at the same time as Ben Pringle and there was some hope he might be a decent wide midfielder with a cross and shot on him, and he was rubbish, and then one time we were playing a League One game and he was playing against us and it was almost Half Time before I said "Didn't he play for us on loan a couple of seasons ago?"" Him. What was his name? Him. He should be in the team. Also that lanky New Zealand forward. And that bloke who has a name that's similar to Ollie Watkins, but was so forgettable that when Ollie Watkins was called up to the England squad I said "Isn't he that one who was terrible for us on loan? What's he doing in the England squad?" |
Although you’re joking, I think Liam Feeney meets that criteria | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 13:10 - Apr 10 with 607 views | FBI | Glen Keeley. 4 apps for us in the early 70s then went onto Blackburn and Newcastle Humanrightswatch FC. I seem to remember him having an absurdly long neck! | |

Now the latter is forgettable. The former I couldn't remember until you mentioned but I still don't recall Kenny actually playing for us! | |

Just looked it up, Bywater had 17 appearances, Kenny didn't get a single one. I do recall Kenny on the pitch doing the end of season lap, I think that's as close as he got! | | | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 20:22 - Apr 9 by GlasgowBlue | John Stirk at right back. Played in our 3-0 win against Barcelona. I was there but can't remember a thing about him. |
John Linford anyone? He popped up yesterday on 'Bobby Robson Ipswich years and i had no idea who he was. apparently he was in our UEFA Cup squad of 1981. Came on as sub v AS Roma for his only Town appearance | |

Town’s most forgettable XI on 17:23 - Apr 10 with 385 views | Wakh | Marco Holster. I was so excited when we signed another Dutchman but after watching him against (I think Grimsby) I realised he was played like An old Moorhen. Not Arnold Muhren [Post edited 10 Apr 17:28]
