Players you love despite not being regulars? 13:36 - May 9 with 6566 viewsSwailsey

I still have that childlike love for players who didn’t always play the most games. Whether it’s the underdog factor, loving people who put effort in, seem great guys or are just so reliable, it’s been a real thread throughout my football life.

A few over the years for me - anyone else?

Jonathan Parr.

The managerial genius did let him go for his own, stupid reasons. Probably because Parr had been crossing a half-way line too often.

He was our near neighbour when I was a child and was instrumental in me being taken to Portman Road to watch my first professional football match - the moment Sir Bobby described so well ensued and, well, that was that.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single mention of Walton yet. Watching him on the bench, hovering over his seat every time we got around the box and going nuts every time we scored just shows how tight this squad is.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

I remember watching Proudlock play against us and thinking how much he looked like he had natural talent, thought he was going to be another Lee Trundle.

Was in the very small minority of people who were quite pleased when he signed for us, and yes, even now have a bit of a soft spot for him and his silly haircuts. (and waistline that looked similar to mine)

In terms of player, Paz. Always thought he looked OK as a player, but came in with such enormous hype that he was always going to struggle. didn't we pretend he was our million pound South American silver bullet when he arrived?

He had lovely hair too, to begin.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Everyone in this squad who barely played.

If we ever come up against Lewis Travis again, he gets a standing ovation from me. Idc he only played 3 games.


Would say the same. I would love us to sign him.

Oh, thought of another one. Simon Walton who we had during Jim’s first year. Went a bit off the boil after he left us I think.

My daughter's Primary School Headmaster in Hull was his cousin. I tried to engage in conversation about it but rather got the impression said Headmaster wasn't terribly fond of cousin Nigel!

Only played matches against Aston Villa it seems. Hadn't heard of him, but he's presumably in the top photo which does the rounds every now and then. Match action in the second photo.
