A thread full of Albion players who's careers peaked while in our stripes.

I noticed at the bottom of the piece regarding Bridcutt joining the Champions of all the galaxies, it mentioned Buckley going back the other way having not featured in Leeds' last 4 games.

I can't believe sick notes time is up, so instead I'll start the ball rolling with the obvious:-

Leon Knight.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Adam Virgo.

 

[Hampster Gull]

El Abd

 

[GT49er]

Peter Ward
Steve Foster
Peter Harburn
.....and quite possibly Bridcutt

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Kerry Mayo

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Danny Cullip.

It's just occurred to me I've probably got this round the wrong way.

Perhaps the better (harder) question would be 'players who went on to bigger and better things, since their time in our stripes'.

It gets even tougher if the OP started with Mark Lawrenson & Zamora.


Oh well, someone else can do that, I'm off to bed.

Nighty night night,

Jimmy Langley, Gary Stevens, Ian Muir, Dean Saunders, John Robinson to name a few (and Gareth Barry I suppose)

I await a Palace troll,
Glenn Murray

 

[drew]

Malcolm Poskett
Junior McDougald
Chris McPhee
Jake Robinson

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Ryan Harley?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Barry Butlin (for the oldsters)

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Steve Cook and Tommy Elphick have to be up there. Although Bournemouth aren't a glamour club, both reached the PL before us. Seeing as Cook could barely get on our bench I'd say that's an improvement.

I await a Palace troll,
Glenn Murray

Didn't Murray get thirty goals one season with Palace? That's just a ridiculous amount, especially considering most of us on here consider a twenty goal a season striker as the holy grail.

 

[JACKRUSSELL]

Kurt Nogan 49 goals in 97 appearances

Mark Beaney typifies what I was attempting to get at with this thread.

Was fantastic for us and should have gone onto so much more than Leeds' bench.

So sorry Chris McPhee, Kerry Mayo et al, and possibly even El Abd, sadly you're victims of poor thread structure.


Beaney
Foster.
Knight.
Ward.
Buckley (pending)

 

[Change at Barnham]

Geoff Cooper and John Crumplin

 

[surrey jim]

Jake Robinson. Could almost put the height of his Albion days down to the week where he scored two hat tricks [vs Northwich and Huddersfield IIRC]

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Classic NSC thread. Players who peaked at the Albion OR went onto better things.........
