    I imagine a lot have. He only managed 51 minutes of game time.

    Stuart Rimmer. He looked positively non-league.

    Jennings, as we knew what he was capable of.
    Hristov was a young lad in a foreign country who we clearly never saw the best of.
    Chris Lumsdon and Brian McCord were both brilliant on loan but I think both times they send us back their identical twin brothers who happened to be nowhere near as good at football.

    Yes, I really wanted little Miguel to do well. It was quite a move for him and he certainly had the goal scoring history. Sadly the English game proved too much of a step in quality and style.

    Keith Adamson. Long forgotten, sign from Tow Law Town in the North East as a striker in the mid 60s when we were desperate for a goal scorer. From memory he played 7 games without scoring and went back to the obscurity from where he came.

    Chris Dagnall - despite the effort didn't have the ability to cut it at championship level

    Certainly not a failure but I was gutted that Lloyd Isgrove’s time at the club was cut short owing to injuries which prevented him from reaching his true potential.

    Good to see him back playing and amongst the goals at Bolton.

    And we’ll always have Wembley to remember him by.

    Keith Treacy and Leroy Lita. I'd creamed over them both when we signed them.
