0114 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Tom Lees. Having a terrible season absolutely no doubt about it. But never seems to get any credit from us, has played over 200 games and been at the heart of twice matching the club clean sheets record and 2 play off campaigns. For a player who cost us next to nothing he’s been a fantastic signing just never been a player that won the fans over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like a lot of the ‘play off team’ they’ve declined and needed a change of scenery a good couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbelly Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Guy Whittingham. Not many footballers can pull off a name like “Guy” & his surname makes him sound a bit like D ick Whittington. Could also play a bit. Edited April 7, 2020 by Yellowbelly Wee pipe Whittington ?!??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&WOwl Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Darren Purse, don’t remember him being a particularly good player, but he used to live near us. Decent bloke all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he never has had that “let off the hook” attitude by fans the same way Bannan and Forestieri seem too. See his name in the team and instantly people lose their mind. He definitely needs moving on, but he’s nowhere near as bad as some people seem to make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good player - was really decent out wide in later years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Tracey i also thought was a decent player for us but used to get some stick. Both never went on to a higher level so maybe they where right and i was full of s**t. Keith Tracey. Thought he was great for us. But had forgotten about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly his form has tailed off and he seems a shadow of that player which has been the reason why some have criticized him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten minutes from the end in front of 40,000+ dee-dahs - cool as you like! He had some great games, too. At Chesterfield when we won 3-1, he had the home side's defence in knots and scored a couple. I think he even got booked when it was someone else's fault! Didnt he poke his butt at the spireites kop after he scored?! I should remember, I was on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true, but the guy had talent, and at the time, I can remember hoping he would come good True, to a lesser extent with Stainrod, and a lot more talented players, who really never made the most of their natural ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat-Owl Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Wayne Collins, the team went on a good run with him in the team, was hard working & bagged a few goals, missed a few sitters too though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Tibbs Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Dave Grant No nonsense left back from our div 3 promotion season. Got stuck in and loved to go forward. What he lacked in skill he made up for with attitude and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we were the start of his very quick fall from grace. A wasted talent. Sadly Simon Stainrod was talented but tainted by his past. It was never going to work here.
