Professional footballers that you wonder how they have got into the professional game.

[Philzo-93]

We've all experiened it, seeing a footballer on the pitch whether it is at the Albion; in the Premiership or wherever in the professional game.

We have all asked the same question: "How on earth has he managed to become a professional footballer"

Many of you have a list but some may only have a couple.

So let's get the ball rolling with these three:

Nicklas Bendtner
Titus Bramble
Doug Loft



This should be interesting...

agreed.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Phil Andrews
Mark Fox
Simon Fox

 

[El Sid]

Paynter & Painter

Coling Hawkins
Gavin Hoyte

Hoyte especially, how he ever got a contract at Arsenal I'll never know.

 

[Kumquat]

Joe O'Ceaurill (sic). In all my days watching Albion I have never seen someone so clearly out of his depth. On loan from Arsenal too. Non-league now I gather.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Carlton Palmer

 

[Kumquat]

Sebastian Coates at Liverpool is doing a good impression of a ringer too at the moment. I gather he's know as "I'll get my" up there.

 

[Ernest]

Most of the Albion team in the 97/98 and 98/99 seasons

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Danny Welbeck.

 

[Durlston]

Joe O'Ceaurill (sic). In all my days watching Albion I have never seen someone so clearly out of his depth. On loan from Arsenal too. Non-league now I gather.

I saw him when he played for Barnet quite a bit and he was absolutely shocking.

Dave Kitson has no skill and just plays dirty. Emmanuel Eboue for Arsenal - the crowd gave him so much stick.

 

[happypig]

John Salako
Jeff Thomas

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

I'll go with Samaras....utter tripe.

 

[BHAFC_AMEX]

Paynter & Painter

Harsh. Both are quality league 1 players.

 

[El Sid]

Harsh. Both are quality league 1 players.

Harsh? Painter possibly, but having watched him play for DS recently, didn't see him striving to impress and get back in the first team squad as a regular. Looked very poor, a lot of better players on the pitch. Maybe League 2?

 

[reigate]

Mark Fox

I remember is debut (against Burnley I think) Thought he was gonna be a star!

 

[Stevie Boy]

Graeme Smith and Mark Macammon

Doug Loft was a little bit lightweight, but had decent technique. He's now the captain of a side currently at the top end of league 2.
