Yep.
Barnsley, Southend & Barnsley again.

Yep.
Barnsley, Southend & Barnsley again.

Blimey, I would have been at two of those. Southend (whether home or away) and Barnsley at home. How the memory fades with age.

 

[big nuts]

What about the Nigerian centre half we got on loan? Ifijiagua or something like that. Clean sheet on debut plus a flicked goal from a Ross Johnson long throw away at a wet Underhill in late October during the 98/99 season.

Also remember Simon Morgan slotting in really nicely on the opening day of the season away at Cambridge in a 0-0 draw.

Razak takes this easy for me,

But it wasn't his debut.

Hi Trigaaaar,

Home debut so that's good enuff for me!

Was Darren Freeman's hattrick against mansfield on his debut?

Indeed It was. 6-0

I have!

All i can recall is the shaggy haired one running about like a mentalist.

What is he up to now?

Played in Russia for a little while a couple of years ago before signing for West Ham on a short term contract. Also managed to get a few appearances for Ivory Coast around this time. Was subsequently released by the Hammers and was signed as a free agent by Doncaster. Has now been released by them and is currently a free agent again.

happy memories. Why didnt we pick him again?

Well that dispells the myth that we were 2-0 down and that it was his debut. Good to watch it again though.

What is he up to now?

Turned out for Doncaster last season...

 

[shaolinpunk]

Ulloa scored against Arsenal on his debut.

 

[Gwylan]

You best take that up with the commentator from the clip above.

The commentator was wrong then; he came on as a sub for Crumplin in the home defeat by Middlesbrough

Christ, that's got to be a lesson for any youngster with poor application.

Bryan Wade. 4 goals from the bench in about 25 minutes to win 4-1 against Newcastle. Obviously we didnt pick him again !

Attendance: 7,400 - in a season we nearly went up.

(average 2nd division attendances were 11,389)

Best not forget just how mental the North Stand was that night, you can hardly hear the players over the noise the commentator is making.

Aiden Newhouse, whatever happened to him ?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

happy memories. Why didnt we pick him again?

We did. And he also started in the 2-2 at Anfield. A certain John Byrne replaced him from the bench. And he played the season after as well scoring in Barnsley A amongst others.
