Leon Jeanne. Had some of the rawest talent you could wish to see in a young lad but blew it (literally) on coke and other drugs.

I saw Steve mcleans only city goal!

QPR away!


He did a pathetic cartwheel as well if I remember, right in front of the QPR fans.

He also missed a penalty for us in one of the next few matches but I can't remember who against.

Hated Ridsdale but a cracking bit of business persuading Sheffield Wednesday to pay £500,000 for him!

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.


In fairness Leighton Maxwell did alright for us.


Only because we were paying him in pies lol
I thought he was bloody awful.

Jorn was like Bambi running about the place. Absolute shit. Only made one or two appearances as well.

How much did we pay for Mr Gavin Gordon? Half a million?

To be fair to Langley, he was never a winger. He dominated in the middle and was then moved out wide when he joined us. Still, he didn't exactly give 100% so for that I don't begrudge the stick he got.

Re: players who never quite made it here

Thu Nov 29, 2012 5:36 pm

He was a lazy b*stard! If he lost the ball he would never make any effort to win the ball back.

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?

Kamara now plays with a mate of mine at Kingstonian
