Players we kept talking about coming but never came

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Over the lifteime of NSC which players have been most often linked to the club or have been most prayed for by NSCers but never actually made it to the Albion.

Suppose the record-holder must be Kanchelskis but Currie is right up there (yes , I know he WAS at the Albion but we're talking about his second coming).

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

Currie played 90 mins for Luton reserves at Southend yesterday - they lost 4-0.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Kanchelskis

 

[The Face]

Nikki Bull from Aldershot. EVERY transfer window.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Kenny Deuchar

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Rainer Bonhoff in 1979

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Shipperley and thank god he didn't. Useless waste of space and managed to help Brentford slip into the bottom league.

 

[bigkev2007]

Kenny Deuchar

You are joking about Rainer bOnhof aren't you? I don't remember that.

When Mullery looked at the two Peruvians, the representative was also the rep for a couple of German and Dutch footballers, one of which was Rainer Bonhoff.

From what John Vinnicombe said later, this was something that was very much on that cards!

I know for a FACT and it was all very hush hush that Franz Beckenbauer was close to SIGNING for us when we were in Division 1.
He was STAYING at the Grand butnegotiations BROKE down. I would have WET myself with JOY at seeing the KAISER in the blue and white STRIPES .

Do you remember the story about the two Peruvians, who their agent reconed were in their 20's where in fact they were in their late 30's early 40's

[hornet]

I hadn't realised that NSC was that old!

 

[Harty]

Kevin Brock of Oxford United, got as far meeting Mullery for talks in early 1981 who was pissed off by his general attitude, almost a la Kevin the teenager, and called the whole deal off.

On the Kanchelskis front..... was there ever a possibility that this might have happened?

(Gets ready for the dunce hat)
