Lots of threads the last few weeks about the best & worst players who played for us but who are the ones who were here a short while but you fondly recall
Andy Gray - when we signed him I thought it was the signing of the century after seeing him at palace a few years before , loved the brace against Man utd
Ossie Ardillies - couldn't believe we got him , just seeing him with his socks rolled down and in a QPR shirt was very surreal I know he contributed naff all but it was a very exiting time for a 15 year old lad to have him at the club
David Pizanti- for that goal
Mark stein - goal machine, does anyone recall the volley to west ham at home ? oh and he had lovely thighs
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles
Brian Moore

I think that someone mentioned Paul Wright already. He didn't last long but scored a few. In those days you didn't really retain a whole group of reserve strikers - maybe just one apart from the kids, so they tended to come and go or just move on if they came through the youth side and weren't good enough.
Anyone remember Paul McGee? Then there was Billy Hamilton - both of them strikers who played a few games and didn't do too badly without setting the world alight.
Two from Billy Hamilton:

Taiwo - was here for what? A few months? Still enough to get a top 3 moments out of him
3) Sunderland free kick - we lost, but that was the real quiz 2) Drowining Joey Barton in sports drink whilst laughing like a Bond villain 1) Tackling Danny Graham in the balls WITH HIS FACE
Wonderful.
Also surprised (in case I missed it) that nobody has mentioned Idiakez. I remember being gutted when he left.

Excellent thread this, I can't add any names to the ones already given, but I'm really pleased that some names I thought would have been forgotten are still fondly remembered.
In particular I was delighted when we sign ed Mark Stein and always thought he was ab it unlucky with his managers here. At the end that was Trevor Francis who, while pretty disastrous as a manager (though he did get us Reid and Wilkins) was also probably the player who had the most impact on me in the shortest time. he changed the way I watched football. Up to then I thought anyone over 25 was verging on a trip to the knacker's yard; seeing the way Francis used his skill and reading of the game to bring other players into the game was a revelation.

Adam Bolder and Danny Cullip. Both bought John Gregory when we didn't have any money. Certainly not the most skillful of players, but added steel to the team and helped keep us out of League One, or whatever it was called at the time. Going down that year would have meant financial ruination, so I have a soft soft for them.

Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

Long term listener, first time caller (in many a year)....hello everybody!
Kennedy was the obvious one who stuck out for me but also:-
Leighton James, little bit of glamour back in the side, not convinced we got the best of that swap though. Was a name, tore West Ham a new one in that 6-1 Cup replay game. Mum being Welsh also added a frisson signing Wales' best player at the time for the 9 year old me.
Dave Needham - some say he only signed for us because County wouldn't sell directly to Forest. Had we kept him we'd never have gone down imo.
Kevin McLeod - still better than Lee Cook! - pace, direct, knew where the goal was - should've persisted with him. Good lad too
Massive Mauro Was with us for a close season under Gerry Francis, who said he would have loved to have signed him but in those days Italian players cost a fortune

Ok,
Mine is Dominic Iorfa, seemed ok in the reserved, scored goals but lost his nerve seemingly when in the first team.
Easily the fastest player I've ever seen at Rangers. 0-60 in 2.3 seconds, but seemed to think the corner flag was where the goal was.
DouDou was great, fast, low C.o.G. and scored the odd goal. Remember his debut at Northampton in the cup when we just turned up thinking we'd won already, but really remember Boxing Day one Christmas against, I think, Burnley, and they couldn't handle him, and decided to put him into row Z getting their version of Shittu sent off for it. Lol
I'm sure AKUTRS ran a spot the ball competition of Iorfa having a shot towards the Loft. The correct location was the back cover of someone else's copy of AKUTRS.

This is a fantastic thread for bringing back memories and the very first player I thought of was Mark Kennedy - unsurprisingly much mentioned here - I loved his swagger and although my memory is hazy I'm sure he scored a worldy against someone, starting with a run just inside their half that drew the whole crowd to their feet... but it's also a frustrating thread because most of the players I can think of I wanted us to sign or at least feature more but never did - like Chevanton who looked sharp as a tack to me and old wobbly knees gave him about two 5 minute cameos and he never featured again which did my head in. I don't know if Routledge counts but I've seen several names here who played far more games for us than him, was gutted we didn't sign him up. Ray Jones of course for tragic reasons.
I liked Jimmy Smith who we had on loan from Chelsea for a season and Tommy Smith who played 50 games for us, which I guess is stretching it for this thread, but again still less than some others mentioned!
