His name cropped up on another thread. I give you dear old Frank Nouble. He’s 34 now and had a long professional career which is let’s face it, a real achievement.
However for us in the Championship he was truly hopeless. Big, fast, eager. Like a puppy off the lead in the park, off he’d go. Nobody knew where and you always hoped somebody would tell him which end to head for. On one occasion he was put through just over the half way line. And after half a dozen paces heading for goal………fell over. We laughed.
Frank was such an endearing character and you had no idea what he was going to do next. When he warmed up as sub, ‘here comes Frank’ would be shouted. ‘The answer to our prayers’’go get em Frank, they’re terrified’ and so on.
4 goals in 56 appearances. Let’s be honest, he wasn’t the best forward I’ve ever seen, but he was worth the entrance money.
The other one I liked was Gus Uhlenbeek. Never seen anything like it. Built like a middleweight, ran like a rhino with toothache. Sadly, straight ahead was his only option. On the charge he was virtually unstoppable. Thank god there was a stand at either end otherwise he’s still be going.
At the end of the charge would come the cannonball shot. Like a flippin missile. Would it decapitate somebody in the crowd? Where in the stand would it go? Would it go over the roof to Coes? One thing for sure, the net was rarely an option.
I really enjoyed watching Gus. He was pretty terrible really, but I see he made 94 appearances for us and scored as many as dear old Frank, so maybe I’m being harsh. |  | | |  |

Uhlenbeek was fast and tore down the wing delivering random crosses. That gets you quite a way nowadays where athleticism is king. |  |

World Cup semi-finalist Boncho Genchev was definitely not rubbish. |
Came on for (Ballon d'Or winner) Stoichkov I believe?
Now Hristo was quite the player, but never scored an overhead kick against Blackburn at Portman Road as far as I can remember... |  | | |

Veliče Šumulikoski, he tried so hard but just was not quite up to it, but I loved the effort he put in. |  | | |

Larsen Touré, say what you like about the guy but he tried really hard to be a positive character off the field and from what I heard he was one who did a lot to help create a positive dressing room. [Post edited 23 May 11:44]

Larsen Touré he had played a decent few games in France at L1 level and played Europa league football, then he came to Town...
Fell over corner flag and put the ball out for a goal kick, never to seen again.

Gus Uhlenbeek is the one for me though he wasn't too bad. He just used to forget the pitch ran out at some point......
Also I'm sure he throw it out for a corner once too? | | | |
