Sheaf Saint Posted 6 December, 2008 Share Posted 6 December, 2008 Cosimo Sarli? He scored 40-odd goals for the reserves in a single season about 10 years ago but never actually played for the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did he go on to achieve anything elsewhere to suggest the decision to release him was wrong ? Sorry if I misunderstood the rules of the thread.

Sorry if I misunderstood the rules of the thread. No rules, just a bit of fun. Trying to think of the players we've signed but never played. LB Marcus Hall? Good shout. I remember watching the 02/03 season review DVD and thinking 'WTF?' when it was announced we'd signed him at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 (edited) Andrei Kanchelskis (One sub appearance technically, but still, a complete footnote.)

St Landrew Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 My school football teammate and captain, David Stamp. He was on Saints books about the same time as Nick Holmes.

ottery st mary Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 Paul Gascoigne was earmarked to sign but I think someone hesitated over his ability. Either that or Paul stayed in the pub and had another pint and missed the train... We now have a picture of that missed train on the boardroom wall...What a coincidence.

I totally forgot about him coming back under Redknapp!!!!!!!!! I have only got memories of him as an apprentice on the top deck of the 2a bus from Lordshill in all his FILA gear offering everyone out LOL.

stknowle Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 Paul Hughes? Was at Chelsea, looked promising (and scored what I remember as being a quality goal for them) then got badly injured.

Could be just my imagination but I'm sure I remember reading we had signed him after his 'recovery' but certainly don't remember him playing. Was that in the Branfoot era ? Other notable future prospects signed by Branfoot were Gary Ferguson a young Irish midfielder from Reading for £25,000.Actually Reading were keen to offload him for disciplinary reasons but we paid them for the privilege,and he was even trumpeted by IB as "one for the future" at aRadio Solent broadcast. Branfoot also brought two in from Scotland,Paul Sheerin for £7,500 (!),and Colin Cramb,neither of whom made the grade or appeared for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 Did Eamon Collins ever play for us ? He was a future star brought from Blackpool under Alan Ball's recommendation,for which we received a fine for enticing a youngster from their academy. I can claim to have seen him play when he reached his natural level playing for Colchester Utd at Cheltenham in the then Vauxhall Conference.

um pahars Posted 7 December, 2008 Share Posted 7 December, 2008 Yeah I'm pretty certain he was on our books. Late 90s/early 2000s. He was definitely down here for a few months around then as I went on a double date with him!!!!!! Have to say he really did get the short straw that evening. Then again I can't really boast, because the one I was with didn't want to know after one date!!!! He never played a competitive game for us though and left to go to Luton if I remember correctly, where he did play a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robsk II Posted 8 December, 2008 Share Posted 8 December, 2008 Federico Arias a.k.a Torpedo I was going to say him. He's one of my favourite no-shows. Much fanfare upon his arrival, relatively, to no product. At all. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzmeister Posted 8 December, 2008 Share Posted 8 December, 2008 The russian latvian feller - Andrai Peryplethokin - now at Derby, couldnt get a work permit but looked top draw in the reserves (and was also amazing on fball manager).

Arizona Posted 8 December, 2008 Author Share Posted 8 December, 2008 Imants Bleidilis Brian Howard Justin St Juste Marcelo Sarmiento (one cup appearance against Yeovil??) Clearly you weren't as traumatised by THAT Tranmere game as the rest of us. Think it Imant's debut and he made about 6 appearances over 3 years. Sarmiento played when we got knocked out of the Cup that season, can't remember who against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rememeber Lowe getting particulary annoyed about that one!! Or, Shev as he was known. He was Ukrainian when he was here, but has since played for the Latvian NT. In this age of Total football with a young team, I can't help but wonder how good we'd be if we'd kept players like Shev, Griffit, Sparv, Baseya, M. Mills and Cranie.

Dicko Posted 8 December, 2008 Share Posted 8 December, 2008 Cosimo Sarli? He scored 40-odd goals for the reserves in a single season about 10 years ago but never actually played for the first team. I'm absolutely certain he played 2 games He joined Nice after us and eventually had a solid career in the Italian lower divisions. I don't think he was a prolific scorer though, and I've no idea if he's still playing He came here with 2 other Italians who definitely didn't play One of them was a highly rated midfielder called Simone Pelanti. I think he failed to settle & joined Fiorentina, but an injury ruined his career. The other guy was called Fransesco Atzeni who I never heard of again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
