Guest s11 owl Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I thought Orlando Trustful was going to be brilliant after his first few games, but Mr David Pleat obviously didn't think so................................................pillock He went back to Holland and had a great career in the Eredivise and some years later played for us in some of those televised 5 a side competitions and he still looked class. and his missus was mint!!!!!

Road Runner Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Flopped: Wim Jonk when we signed him I thought we was going to another level.... Guess we did but not the level I imagined! Success: Gerald Sibon came in a bit of a unknown flopped in the premiership but was OK in championship bit lazy at times but that was his game, left us and went onto play in the champions league?

Tamworthowl Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 No mention yet for Waddle. How many thought his best years were behind him when he signed for us? Other successes, Palmer (Snr), Prendergast, Hodge. Bitter disappointments that have do ok/well elsewhere, Reynolds and Michael Morrison, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodseats Owl Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Does any one remember big Jim Holton, signed by Big Jack in May 1981, he had a reputation as hard man during his earlier time with Man Utd. Persistent injury problems during his time with us forced him to retire the following summer with out making any appearances for the Owls. He played for Man Utd against us in the 4-4 draw at Hillsborough in December 1974 breaking his leg during this game. I'm not sure if he ever played in a friendly for us but the stats show he never played a competitive fixture for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAnotherShez Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Seem to remember Holton playing for us at Crewe in a pre-season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Brian Marwood. Joined from Hull I think then left for Arsenal and played for England. Wilkinson found some real gems. Lawrie Madden was one of his best signings, free from Charlton and was great for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he broke his leg again playing for us in a pre season friendly against Huddersfield at Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
