Alan Mahon.

Played 11 games on loan in the 2003-04 season and looked decent. Got recalled by Burnley on Christmas Eve.

Can remember being told in the pub on Christmas Eve evening and was genuinely disappointed he was gone.


Still probably the best corners i've ever seen a player take

I’m assuming you were all waiting for me, that’s the only explanation for not mentioning when Colin Healy made Cesc Fabregas look like Colin Healy.


He was an absolute pleasure that night

Ulrich Le Pen typifies the luck we had that second season in the PL, after finishing 5th. He was a light, skillful player, with a reported wand of a left foot, bought specifically to deliver quality crosses into Stewart & Armstrong. But he got crunched after about 10 minutes of his debut (welcome to English football) and I don't think he played in the league for us again.
The signing made sense, but I think his family didn't settle & he was a bit resentful over the tackle, so by the time he recovered from the injury, he wanted to move back to France.
Finidi & Stewart both broke a cheek soon after, and suddenly all our good luck with lack of major injuries the season before, came back to balance up. Who knows what might have been had those 3 avoided injury early that season.

In terms of homegrown players - Josh Carson. Could never fathom why he didn't go on a forge a top level career.

Overseas signings - Gus Uhlenbeek. His runs down the right wing from full back were a joy to behold.

Over the past 10 years - Jonny Wiliams, if we could have signed him and kept him fit, he would have become a club legend.

I was a big Mahon fan, I hadn't been going to games long when he came in. We had Makin injured and the next choice was Matt Richards who wasn't really up to it.

Jonas Axeldal. The axe-man made as many as 26 Town appearances (mostly from the bench) as a striker, but failed to find the net once, largely because he couldn't hit a barn door. He did run around a lot, though.

Darren Currie, was like watching Maradonna, just in super slow mo.

Loved him though.

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.
