Just watching World cup re-runs and on Holland vs Argentina in 98. Funny to see the line ups and Barry Davies saying that Jonk is preferred to Seedorf. Mad to think that we signed him that summer We all thought the same seeing Abdi play for Watford and then sign for us. Similar outcome, if not worse.

We had some decent players down this route, and some absolute throw too Good Gray Gardner Watson Bad Purse Teale Morrison Sedgwick McPhail Olofinjana Was sad about Sedgwick, as he wasn't particularly old when we signed him, but his legs had clearly gone. He was a cracking player for Rotherham and Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I remember Gray was decent when he first arrived, it was the steel city double season alongside Watson. Following season he came close to scoring at St James Park for us but I think age caught up by mid season as he was a key man for us despite his age. I’m sure he came out afterwards and said Wednesday was attractive to players as they got good money and no real expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
