Aaron Wildig could of made it, looked promising in our Playoff Final season but rather neglected after that

I liked Margetson, Alexander was always better though but sure he was our number 1 for a season?

nick mckoy - simply not good enough.

malvin kamara - showed moments of decent ability for where we were at the time but the moments were far to rare.

jeff whitley - felt he was a good signin to be honest, he was what we needed at the time and did his bit. Limited as a player but gave his all before going on to drink and then drugs I think I read

andrea ferretti - nice touches, nice flicks not build for the British game and jus lt to lazy.

martyn margretson - I never rated him personally but a decent back up when we had him. Went on to be coach but no keeper ever seemed to improve under him, at WHU now?

Bloody hell we had loads...

Joe Jordan's son, andy, cracking couple of own goals and a red card if I remember rightly.

Scott McCulloch. Just couldn't lose the weight.

Andy Thompson Left back from wolves? Injuries...

David Hughes, injuries, now youth coach somewhere these days.

Rhys Weston. Always thought should have been centre back not right back.

Fan Zhyhi (sp?) "The David Beckham of China" :lol: :lol:

Always thought Margetson did well and he played a few games for us!

Jeff Whitley played quite a few games in the first season that Koumas was with us.

What about Michael Boulding?

Phil Mulryne from not so long ago - he's a priest in Northern Ireland now I think!

And of course Mr Warren Feeney.

What about Des Hamilton (signed from Newcastle I think) and Leighton Maxwell (ex Liverpool trainee)
Des looked as though he would go on to be a big player for us, but seemed to blow up after one season.
Maxwell always a bit part player who never really broke through.
