Oli Hawkins on 18:45 - Jun 17 with 2779 views | BlueandTruesince82 | I liked the old schoolness of his player profile. Not comparable in terms of ability but the Bam Bam esque striker/defender role appeals. Well overdue a comeback in modern football imo |  |

Ian Marshall is the other that immediately springs to mind. There is a good degree of logic to it as well, perhaps less so with false 9's and inverted frog footed support spears and the like that we have now, but for an old school get it into the mixer in the last 10 to grab a point it makes a lot of sense. |  |

Let's not forget the master of the craft, Paul Warhurst. |  | |  |

That was eight months before Gamechanger bought the club. The same season that saw the Josh Harrop loan. This is how far we've come in five years! |  | |  |

To think we finished 11th in League One the season before and the five permanent signings to try to revive our fortunes were these three, Ross Crane and Albert White, the latter two who never made an appearance. All free transfers. We had no chance of promotion, looking back. |  | |  |

In fairness, we'd already spent most of the budget on Lambert's five year contract earlier that year... |  | |  |

No, we didn't. We signed him purely as a striker to give us more of a physical presence in League 1. He wsan't very good but that's because the budget was about 5p. |  |

On paper, Ward appeared to be a good signing. Unfortunately, football is played on grass, or plastic in some cases. |  | |  |

that's not even 5 years ago. jeez we've come a long way. |  |

I think Matt's comment was more tongue-in-cheek. |  | |  |

'We signed him purely as a striker to give us more of a physical presence in League 1' Only for him to come up and say he preferred playing centre back as there was less pressure playing that position. Unbelievable. |  |

Did he really say that ? That is superb and gave me a good laugh. That picture of the 3 of them at Playford road is haunting [Post edited 18 Jun 11:38]

Stephen Ward was really good for about 5 games until his legs stopped working because he was about 110 years old. He was also the most Mick McCarthy signing ever that wasn't signed by Mick McCarthy. |  |

Only took 6 games to win more league games with them than we did in the whole of last season though… |  |
