[Albion] Shortest Albion careers. One game wonders!

[Blue3]

James Virgo: and he scored!
Current Bristol City manager: Lee Johnson. Who also scored (though, I think, only in a penalty shootout)
Geoff Pitcher: one game, one penalty, goodbye.

Don't score on your debut.

Geoff Pitcher played 10 games for the Albion

 

[Kosh]

John Piercy.

Actually looked quite good...

Maybe he made more than one appearance?!? I recall he got a bad injury.

Darragh Ryan?!? Bad injury on an impressive debut, I seem to recall.

 

[Kosh]

Christian Baz.

1 competitive appearance?

 

[Fungus]

No. Admittedly by the mere fact they represented the Albion all (or very nearly all) of the people mentioned on this thread are better than 99% of can ever dream to be, but I really wouldn't wanted to be remembered as a figure of fun. If I'd had that level of ability I'd rather have been a top non-league player at somewhere like Worthing and be remembered fondly as opposed to being thought of as a 'failed pro'.

Understood, but my day-dreams are more positive than that, and usually involve scoring! I'm rubbish, but that's the point of dreams!

John Piercy played quite a few games. He had to retire due to colitis.

Crikey! Andy Ansah played 25 times for us! I thought he was a one game wonder... he even scored 3 goals!

Nah; I'm pants at this!

He was pretty good in the one game I saw. Pity.

Thanks - it is funny how you remember a guy like Piercy but forget stalwarts like Ansah!

Piercy played quite a bit including the play off final. Decent player on his day

seven according to wikipedia. I imagine most were as sub

 

[Kosh]

How many times did Phil Stant play?

 

[big nuts]

Crikey! Andy Ansah played 25 times for us! I thought he was a one game wonder... he even scored 3 goals!

Nah; I'm pants at this!

I remember that season Ansah signed during the season as our signing from non-league Stafford Browne looked way out of his depth on debut away at Carlisle. I don't think he played much if at all after.

I remember his penalty against Swindon in the second leg at Withdean. He scored, & then took his pulse to show how cool, calm & collected he was.

 

[Kosh]

Ooohhh wiki cheating going on!

Baz was better than Battiepiedi (sp), yet Gus loved him - were they related or something?!? heh heh

 

[reigate]

Stuart kerr? Keeper on loan from celtic,when I assume rust and omerod were injured /banned

His first-team career with the Albion was 4 minutes, replacing Glenn Murray at Bristol Rovers in April 2008; a game which - to those who were there - was one of those where we went absolutely ballistic as it gave us a good shout at surviving relegation.

We finished 7th in 2008. You probably mean 2009.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

haven't read the whole thread

but will mention John Phillips (goalkeeper)

better known for playing at Chelsea

he did play one game for us on loan

against palace at the goldstone of all matches

sadly he passed away only a few weeks ago

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Don't think big Joe Corrigan played that many, but probably more than just one ....

Yeah only about 35 in the 83/84 season

 

[Silk]

I'm not looking through this lot, but Ray McHale?

Simon Steele played in goal for one game only, away to Leeds at Elland Road in about 84/85ish ..... another one, I think, Grant Horscroft played one League game at the Goldstone in the 80's.

Final one from me, newly signed Paul Holsgrove, who I saw play for us in a pre season friendly at Lewes, then we promptly sold him to Hibernian for a tidy profit before the League season started ! Think this was the first season we played our home games at Gillingham.

Didnt Matt Hicks appear on the bench for an Albion team that played at Stanstead as a thank you for Gary Hart's 10 years at the Albion ?
