Obscure signings XI on 07:04 - May 17 with 3122 views | stopmoaning | Dan Harding? He played loads for us. | | | |
Obscure signings XI on 07:11 - May 17 with 3108 views | Herbivore | 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.

Obscure signings XI on 08:17 - May 17 with 3026 views | urbanblue | 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. | | | |

Obscure signings XI on 08:26 - May 17 with 3008 views | franz_tyson | 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. | | | |
Obscure signings XI on 09:09 - May 17 with 2954 views | WeWereZombies | 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. [Post edited 17 May 2020 9:36]

Obscure signings XI on 09:44 - May 17 with 2895 views | Blueastheycome | 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) | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Wiki says that a Bozo is an insignificant man. I believe that was actually his nickname? | |

Obscure signings XI on 09:54 - May 17 with 2875 views | PrideOfTheEast | Harding did alright and could play. We got a decent deal for Westlake really. Bowyer did ok too I thought. | | | |
Obscure signings XI on 10:12 - May 17 with 2859 views | IpswichKnight | 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. | | | |

Nice one. I remember he went to Boston for abit, but didn’t realise he forged a reasonable career though | | | |

Bozinoski is so insignficant that his name is actually spelt wrong on Wikipedia. There's no V in Bozinoski. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlado_Bozinovski | | | |
Obscure signings XI on 11:28 - May 17 with 2795 views | PhilTWTD | 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. | | | |
Obscure signings XI on 12:42 - May 17 with 2709 views | judespiveyg | 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. | | | |
Obscure signings XI on 13:30 - May 17 with 2628 views | GeoffSentence | 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. | |

Wasn’t he the guy that let slip Jewell had been fired? | |
