| Town’s most forgettable XI 19:03 - Apr 9 with 4574 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!)

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? | | | |

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.

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? |  |

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. |  |

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 |  |

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 |  |

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! |  |

Everyone seems to have forgotten Colin Quaner |
I forgot him so badly that I put a double ell in his name when I mentioned him 15 posts further up! |  |

Stephen Bywater and Paddy Kenny in goal. |
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! | | | |

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 |  |

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]
