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. |  |

Did Clarke not end up playing in the Premier with Blackpool?
Am I massively wide of the mark there? |
He got promoted with them but suffered a really bad injury in the close season. Unsure if he ever played for them. Had a good spell at Sheffield Utd though I think.
*edit* Good spells at Bradford, not SU. [Post edited 11 Dec 2024 14:38]

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. |
When he kicked out the corner flag and fell over, the ball rolling feebly away for a goal kick. Utterly brilliant. |  |

Rory Fallon, possibly one of the strangest signings we've made
Also, who was one of the loan signings under lambert who had a mental health issue, did he manage to get help and crack on with his career? [Post edited 11 Dec 2024 14:50]

That's the one, it was tragic, funny though. Don't think he played again after that did he and he went to Andorra ha
Sort of thing I can see Al Hamadi doing... (Sorry Ali). |  | | |

Luke Thomas. We'll face him when we play Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup. |  | | |

They've also got the centre back who left us for Plymouth. Name escapes me but he was decent. |  | | |

Looks like you're right, he was with them in their year in the PL but doesn't look to have played.
Seems he's assistant manager of Hull U18's now, if Wiki is to be believed. | | | |

James Wilson.
Grant Ward there as well - all the old favourites. |  |

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. |
Garvan had a good spell for Palace |  | | |

Wonder how Garvan would have got on under KM | |

I'm trying to remember a chap. Don't think he ended up signing for us, but was with us as a trialist one summer in the mid 2010s. I seem to recall him being mentioned around the Utrecht friendly, but can't see any mention of him in the write-ups.
Can anyone shed any light?
Edit: I think I might be thinking of Roland Lamah? [Post edited 11 Dec 2024 16:56]

Chris Barnard, Amir Karic and Anthony Georgiou.
Oh sorry, I thought you meant players you wished you could forget that they played for us. |  |

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 |
I'll never forget him; every time he had the ball in his hands, he kicked it straight to the opposition's keeper. |  | | |

Who was that little lad on loan from Wolves, I think around the same time as Luke Thomas, who had really long curly hair to the point that you had to wonder how he saw anything? I think he played left back. Luke Matthewson or something? | | | |

Georgiou now at 27 plays non league, so he had a rapid drop down the leagues. [Post edited 11 Dec 2024 18:30]

Ricardo Fuller. Why oh why didn't we sign him. | | | |

That's the one, he playeda couple of games under Cook or was it Paul L. | | | |

Ben Pringle
Also, who was the winger we got on a short term loan under Lambert, who was laughably poor and out of shape? I think only played about 45 minutes. Appreciate that could be several players.
Got it, Simon Dawkins. |  |
