...a day of missed opportunities and shoulda, woulda, coulda...I got thinking.
Ipswich have had plenty of players that have been set to be legends in Blue but for one reason or another never quite worked out. The nearly men.
It made me think...Gio Dos Santos is always held up as one of the best players we saw play for town in recent years but he only pulled on an Ipswich shirt 8 times. Just 8 appearances.
Went on to get 106 caps for Mexico though and 19 goals.
So what about a town 11 of players who could have made it big time here, but never quite stayed long enough. Max amount of appearances 10.
Mark FIsh with his solitary appearance, but over 60 caps for South Africa.
There must be a pretty decent team of nearly men out there...come on...I've put down 2! Anymore for anymore? 11 can't be too hard to find! |  |

It took Matt Bloomfield 17 years or so, but in his last season he was playing in the league above Town . |  | | |

Surely the ultimate 'could have been a legend at Town' is Kevin Phillips?
Looking at how he linked with Niall Quinn, he would have been amazing with Scowy. |  |

No mention for Ingimarsson yet? Had one of the worst performances ever in one Town game but was a decent player generally. |  |

Both great shouts. And add Asmir Begovic in goal....
6 appearances for us. 401 appearances and 1 goal (surprisingly) elsewhere.
and 63 caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bajner was a striker so can play up top with Rhodes and Malarczyk is a CB so he's at the heart of the defense with Fish.
Begovic
Fish
Malarczyk
Dos Santos
Abou
Le Pen
Karic
Rhodes
Bajner. |
Don't you want this fantasy nearly men team to be vaguely alright ffs? :) | |

One decent game for Town, at Bristol, then got injured (in training, IIRC) and was never the same again. |  |

There was a game at PR the ball kept bouncing over his head. He looked completely lost. As I say though, a decent player, just not at Town innit. | |
