alfonso123 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Not the ones who blatantly just came here for a final pay day, but the ones with illustrious careers, who's best days were probably behind them, but who came and gave it everything, and did a proper job for us. I can hark back to Willie Henderson, Kenny Knighton, Mick Lyons, more recently Viv Anderson. Those blokes would have run through a brick wall for us, and achieved legendary status. Who else made you think, I wish we'd signed them sooner, and had them longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Not in the same league but Steve Howard was one of the most bizarre loan deals I’ve seen us make. Jumped up the leagues, came to us about 7 years after the clamber to sign him at his peak, did a fine job and scored a cracking goal to help keep us up.

alanharper Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Chris Marsden Wednesdayite, came to finish his career with us in L1 and was a cut above the rest. Sadly injury limited his appearances but he had the decency to retire instead of financially burdening the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Can think of many has-beens, but not so many that worked out well. From recent times, I'd say Loovens. His Cardiff & Celtic days were well behind him, and he was drifting in no-mans land as a free agent. Became our supreme captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'd also suggest Oguchi Onyewu. I thought he did well during his brief spell. Experienced, physical presence, commanding, I wanted him to stay longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
