PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) This is going back a bit. Viv Busby scored 11 goals in 22 games in the old Division One, which is a pretty good rate. Something seemed to happened behind closed doors because he played five times the next season, without scoring, and was sold to Stoke City. Great silly season thread, by the way.🤩 Edited July 12, 2023 by PurpleCanary 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zema abbey football genius 36 Posted July 12, 2023 Darren Beckford. 21 March 1992 vs Everton. This was my first game at Carrow Road and ended in a 4-3 City win! Beckford smashed in a hatrick & the guy was my hero…until he did very little after that. I have looked him up and he played at lot more games for City than I thought, so I guess not that obscure. He did only manage another 5 league goals in his stay here..and rapidly declined to obscurity after leaving. I guess my second entry would be my namesake, big Zeema Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRock 171 Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) A few names immediately come to mind: Kei Kamara Marc Libra Henri Lansbury Leroy Lita Elvis Hammond The winner for me by a mile is Dani Pacheco 😂, a short-lived stint at Norwich, only six apperances yet most can probably remember his contributions in the conclusion of the 2010/11 promotion season.

Went from on England B stand by to playing in local amateur football in the blink of an eye. Terrible waste.

Channon’s Windmill 326 Posted July 12, 2023 Drazan Muzinic, record signing at the time. I think there were questions as to whether he was really a professional footballer, though it was tactfully said that he struggled to communicate with teammates and the management team.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Oli Johnson. Goodness knows why we bought him but he did entertain against a couple of clubs. Bakero was probably one of the best players historically who ever played for us. Edited July 12, 2023 by keelansgrandad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
