Dan Harding? He played loads for us.

Harding was a regular here. Put Karic at left back in his natural position and stick Sean St Ledger in at CB. Bowyer played a lot here too, maybe Ryan Stevenson as a swap for him. I'm sure we've had more obscure than O'Callaghan and Imgimarsson as well. Good call on Drobny, I'd forgotten he existed.

My favourite obscure player is Vlado Bozinovski who played a few games in midfield for us in 92/93. If memory serves me right he came along with Boncho as a translator although he was actually Australian.

I also seem to remember I thought he looked pretty good.

I would think Vemund Brekke Skaard should not only be in the team, but captain it. Bizarre signing.
What was he ? A school teacher who played amateur football and we signed him based on a pre-season friendly.
Piotr Malarcyzk - the Polish CB we bought for 9000 quid. That was a strange one, too.
Tommy Oar didn’t hang around. Had a bit of pedigree, but not a Mick player.

As Herbivore posted, no place in that team for Dan Harding who not only started seventy three games for us but had a good Championship career both before and after his time at Portman Road. Suggest bringing in Jack Ainsley at left back and having a shuffle round.

I seem to recall in the mid 00’s, there was a Bury Town FC defender who was signed And played a couple of games for us. Remember him being an Ipswich fan too. Ian something ? (I think)

Harding did alright and could play. We got a decent deal for Westlake really. Bowyer did ok too I thought.

Adrian Paz signed at same time as Treacle if I remember, scored against Liverpool and then pretty much vanished.

Bowyers best moment was scoring a last minute winner at West Ham against Worzel Green who had been giving it large to Town fans behind the goal for the 2nd half, he didn’t half rush off at the final whistle.

Bozinoski is so insignficant that his name is actually spelt wrong on Wikipedia. There's no V in Bozinoski.

I heard a good story about the window when we signed Stephen Bywater and Nick Colgan on loan after Neil Alexander had moved on and, if I remember rightly, Shane Supple had gone somewhere on loan. Apparently Malcolm Webster went through his contacts book starting at the beginning ringing round available Championship keepers, hence we signed two whose surnames were early in the alphabet.

I'm glad someone said it... I thought my memory was false. I seem to recall this Bozo fella as being a decent player. At a time when we were pretty poor, but not the absolute cack we have become.

I asked Mick McGiven about him some years later and he said he lacked mobility, hence he was dispensed with after a few games.

Paddy Kenny was third choice keeper behind Bialkowski and Gerken in 2014, pretty sure he failed to make an appearence, might have been on the bench in the cup.

I thought Gudmundsson was a really good player. I seem to remember he had a goal disallowed in a play-off game. (is that right?)

I recall he changed the spelling of his surname, without any explanation.

Town wanted to sign Gudmundsson on a permanent basis but I think in the end Blackburn did a deal with a Swedish club as they wanted one of their players.

Is there anymore obscure signing that Cheick Kourouma?

You remember, that french lad who went racing round sorting out the paperwork to get himself signed on after there were potential problems with some clubs claiming compensation from us, some of whom he had never played for.

He never actually played a game for us after all that, and I think he is still clubless.
