Players you had forgotten about...

mark farrington.

hard to describe how bad he was, a barry lloyd special 'discovered' playing dutch football. i don't think barry was smoking his usual brand on that weekend scouting trip to holland. farrington was signed to replace mike small who was superb - i still have the t-shirt somewhere.

Charlie Nicholas ... a striker who had considerable trouble finding the goal if I remember correctly ... now who does that remind me of??

Charlie Baker ... first choice goalie for one and a half seasons ... lived in Turners Hill.

Was that not Tony Nicholas a big blonde inside forward signed from Chelsea?

How about Stan Crowther and John Goodchild at around the same time.

 

[murciagull]

He Scored in my first trip to Palace when we won 1-0 and we missed the goal as we were late in

Was that the match in the seventies, we scored after about 5 minutes and were under the cosh for the next 85, our keeper played a blinder, for some reason Peter Springetts name comes to mind, or am I imagening it?

 

[FamilyGuy]

Eric Young
Willie Young
Alan Young

Seem to remember they all played in the same season, anyone know if they ever played together?

Eric Young - one of my favourite all time BHA players

 

[FLOG GNAW]

Shane McFaul
Will Packham

The same Mark Farrington who's career was blighted by injury ? The same Barry Lloyd who found Dean Saunders, Kurt Nogan and Mr Murray ?

Suprised nobody has mentioned Denis Mortimer or Frank Worthington.

Mark Farrington was that bad that when we played Bristol Rovers on Bath City ground, Twerterton Park (sp) he committed a foul and the BHA supporters started shouting at the ref Off Off.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

No, surely no-one has forgotten Mark Farrington - or indeed Tony Millard's match announcement when the above-mentioned Willie, Alan and Eric all appeared together for the first time: "Well, Chris Cattlin promised us a Young side ..."

that's the fella. i was at that game, in fact i think i've seen us get beat twice at twerton park. they used to have some mulleted **** who wandered round the pitch before the game with a microphone in his hand. that's about all i can remember.

 

[fosters headband]

Has Dave Sexton had a mention, real class player.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Graham Winstanley.

was going to sya him and then thought... no he was a legend and unlikely to be forgotten

calm down buddy! wasn't having a pop at lloyd, but you have to admit farrington was comically turd. i reckon he's the slowest player i've ever seen play for us. and that takes some beating!

Chris Hutchings, a full back in the Chris Catlin era. Rated by many but I thought he was shit.

jeff minton...enough said !

minton was a great player. he was our best player for about 3 years - doesn't belong on this list.

Well, the thread's about players you had forgotten about, not shit players...

I agree Minton was quality in the mid-late 90s and I hadn't forgotten about him, but maybe Bellsize had until he had a think...

I am really enjoying this thread though - remembering Raphael Meade last night made me look up the guy I was at the Pompey game with. 1992 it was apparently!

 

[fosters headband]

Anyone remember Tommy Dixon?

 

[y2dave]

Paul McDonald, skilful but lightweight winger signed by Jimmy Case. Him and Storer both looked quality on the wings during the final run of Goldstone games.
