I give you Liam Feeney. On loan in 2016. Reading the Dozzell book and Jason mentions it’s Feeney who puts the cross in for Andre to score at Sheff Weds. |  |

Stephen Glass? Was never on loan here. Was mentioned as a potential target in the Burley days but no more than that. |
Hang on, I'll have a google.

Re Andre, he's being touted to play for Sri Lanka. Was chatting to Jason the other day and he confirmed that it is correct that he qualifies as Andre has a Sri Lankan grandfather.

Ian Juryeff back in 89. On loan from Orient.Went to a reserve match at PR and he scored, Town were looking for a striker at the time. Thought he looked good. Signed on loan but just the two appearances. |  | | |

Just came to me. Irish not Scottish. Seem to remember had a really good game playing in a horses-for-courses central midfield role against Forest. Was usually a full-back. | | | |

I think you may be thinking of Kevin Foley in this instance Phil. Who came as full back but as you say had a pretty impressive game in CM vs Forest.
Gleeson was also here and bizarrely started that game away a Norwich where Klose scored that goal. [Post edited 11 Dec 2024 11:14]

What was the name of the player I think under MM who didn't know how to take a corner?
He claimed to be a winger / footballer at the time, possibly from the French lower leagues. |  | | |

Larsen Toure? |
Looks like he went onto stuggle in the Andorran premier league after his stint with town then on to French non league which sums up where we are at then.
From watching a podcast with Mick featuring this morning, I now understand he had to make do with some very very basic options. | | | |

Earl Jean.
In truth, never forgotten. Just a member of the 1 game wonders, ranking just below Ulrich Le Pen and Mark Fish in terms of memorability. | | | |

Brian Murphy - GK who seemed like he might be the answer to our post Neil Alexander woes. But instead decided to warm the bench at Premier League QPR |
Although he was wonderful in George and Mildred tbf |  | | |

I haven't forgotten but I think that a lot of people forget that Chris Wood had an 8 game cameo with us in 2015. | | | |

In the Royle and Magilton eras (2003-2009) our team was comprised of a combination of:
(i) players left from the Burley/Premier League era who didn't really have a saleable value - e.g. Naylor, Wilnis, Magilton and McGreal
(ii) experienced Championship players who we signed on frees or relatively low fees - e.g. De Vos, Currie, Kuqi, Horlock, Forster, Lee
(iii) players that came through the youth ranks.
In this last group there were many new hopes, but in reality only Bent and to some extent Ambrose were sold and went on to have long term Prem/Champ careers. A lot of these homegrown players probably got more games than they would have done if not coming up through the ranks, and it's amazing to look back at just how many appearances some of them had:
- Matt Richards, 148 appearances
- Ian Westlake, 113 appearances
- Owen Garvan, 163 appearances
- Dean Bowditch, 78 appearances
- Danny Haynes, 115 appearances
- Lewis Price, 68 appearances
- Billy Clarke, 49 appearances (I would have guessed 10)
Of these, Westlake was probably the best prospect, but he went to Leeds and it all fizzled out from there. He was a tidy, industrious player with a huge tank and a decent left foot. But he was fairly one paced and wasn't a tricky player.
Not one of our greatest ever homegrown players, but probably the pick of the mid-2000s crop (if we assume Bent and Ambrose were more early-2000s. |
Looking at that list of yoofs, I'd never have guessed that Matt Richards would've been the top appearance maker.
The absolute dog's abuse he used to get! | | | |

Westlake was a really good swimmer, I seem to remember him having a swimming race against Karen Pickering for charity or something and beating her.
Billy Clarke was a proper talent, he joined the academy at a similar time as I left. He had moved over from Ireland on his own and was staying with a family in Stoke Park who used to house some of the young lads coming over. I knocked about with him for a while and used to go over and play Playstation with him, really nice lad who went on to have a decent career in L1 / L2 but were it not for injuries I think he's one that could've played higher. |
Did Clarke not end up playing in the Premier with Blackpool?
Am I massively wide of the mark there? | | | |
