Andreas Johnson I loved his passion !

Mattias Jonsson? He was horrendous 😂

Clint Easton - great name, average player!

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.

Ako me namjeravate klevetati, napišite moje ime kako treba...😉

[Drazen Muzinic 1,472]

I had a soft spot for Oli Johnson...played a blinder against Southend at home. Got the crowd going that night.

Just checked Zemas career, 12 league goals in all, 7 for us in 59 games. Time for a name change?

Irony

Remember in the play off final when we were 1-0 up and he just knocked it up the line to no one twice in a row,  surrendered possession… the rest they say !!

[CardiffCanary 156]

I loved efan and Rosario 

could they be classed as obscure because they had great careers away from Carrow rd?

[Canario 247]

David Nielsen for me.

Seemingly the best thing Denmark had produced since Lurpak whilst on loan.

Then couldn't hit a dairy cow's rear with a stringed instrument

[Barham Blitz 746]

David Střihavka for me.  Terrible player but I was dating a particularly attractive Czech girl in Oxford at the time and it broke the ice in the stilted conversations with her Dad when he came to visit.  Fortunately before we realised quite how bad a player he was.  But for getting me through that long, awkward weekend I'll always be grateful to Big Dave ...

No you are thinking of Tony Powell who allegedly liked to dress as a woman.

[hogesar 10,253]

Anyone mentioned Matthieu Louis-Jean yet? 2 appearances in nearly 2 years I think?

[hertfordyellow 462]

Neil Emblen? looked like a good signing on paper, plenty of experience. Chronic injuries meant he wasn't remembered as part of that Worthy promotion chasing side

Not many did but I was at the one game that he played-in fact I was talking about it last night with my brother.

If I recall correctly, it was a Friday night at  Wimbledon just before Christmas. I might be wrong? He got Fashanued 😔

I used to go to virtually every game in those days, but that was one game I skipped 

 

[glory.win or die. 272]

I remember getting excited about Henrik Mortenson being our new striker. Think he only scored once in the Zenith Data systems cup in 1991 v Brighton. (A 5-0 win?)

Also remember Colin Woodthorpe sxore in a 3-0 win v Liverpool, who didn't play may but was from an Everton supporting family 

Simon Charlton was just completely obscure and somehow ended up as our central defender in the prem

The footballer/skat singer Papa Booba Doop, or something like that. 

Didn't he play one gave v QPR looking very quick and exciting ( if chaotic) style and then soat at the QPR fans.

Not a player but can anyone remember the streaker in black underwear from around 1989 or 90 v QPR that's pretty obscure.

As said on a previous page was Pape Seydou Diop not Papa Bouba Diop who was at Fulham 

but you are right about the QPR incident think he played about 10

I had to look up his stats. He played around 100 games in a ten year career. Unless he was a complete sick note that is a bit odd.

He was a complete sick head and mentalist haha

Harry Kane.

Useless.

I thought he looked OK whilst he was with us. Too short a time to really tell of course but the runs and overall movement was there, if anything, his teammates weren't quite plugged in to how he operated as a player, having been more used to Holty and Morison. Like the transition from Pukki to Sergent, albeit in reverse. He snatched at chances, think West Ham was the one everyone remembers but had that gone in AND he didn't get injured (I know, if and if!) we may now have very different memories of Kane.

Chelsea fans were glad to see the back of Salah and Du Bruyne at the time as well! Sometimes things just don't click. Think Mike Sheron briefly turned into a goal scoring regular after he left us too.

To balance this, he provided the assist for all 3 of our goals in the semi against Wolves.

Whenever it was, it was raining, I had my umbrella confiscated at the turnstiles, got wet and had to wait for half an hour after the match to get it back.

I remember Fuglestad as being an ok player. Neither terrible nor top class.

 

[mrdi 410]

Adrian Pennock. 

Seemed to be at the club for ages, can only remember him playing once in a thrashing at Southampton. He had massive hair, think it got in his eyes and distracted him every time he went up for a header. 

[Oval Canary 13]

Brought back memories as a kid this thread…

John Hartson- I remember his shorts looking circus tents!

Carl Bradshaw - Didn’t he end up biting the finger of a taxi driver and served time?

Darel Russel - When he came back. From memory there might have been some animosity from fans when he rejected a contract offer the first time. So we sold him, bought him back at higher price a few years later, then he turned down another contract and we sold him again.

Shaun Carey - signed a professional contract after coming up from youth team. Was on our books for years it seemed, but didn’t make many appearances? Was it due to injury? I really can’t remember much about him or what he did?

Jason Jarrett - Enough said the better.

Peter Thorne - As above

Jurgen Colin - Big things were expected of him.

Yanic Wildschut - fairly recent, but nearly fell off my chair when I read we payed up to £7 million for him!
