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. [Post edited 17 Oct 2024 13:09]

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. |  |

Who was the ipswich player that scored a hattrick on debut, then did nothing after? |
Dean Bowditch was in this vein as well | |

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. |  |
