Random footballers from years gone by that you remember for no reason...
- Thread starter Rozay
- Start date
He ended up at my local side Linfield. Looked a good player in a friendly and our manager thought it would be good to give the 34 year old a 2 year contract. Turned out he was useless and we where able to get out of the contract because he broke it playing for man City legends in one of those sky 5 aside tournaments without permission. Thankfully.
Neil Pointon
I pretty much can name the starting XI's of Derby County and Deportivo La Coruna of the early 2000's for no reason.

Brian Kilcline. Big hairy fecker.
Zbigniew Boniek. Never heard of him until he pitched up at Maine Road and tore us a new one.

Steve Morrow probably best known for falling off Tony Adams shoulder.
Big Savo Milosevic!
My memory of him, which may have been wrong, was it taking him forever as a centre forward to score 100 goals! I vaguely remember a commentator talking about his 100th when he was like 30! Went to Zaragoza afterwards I think.
Cosmin Contra from Fifa
Roque Santa Cruz for Blackburn
Nicola Zigic for Valencia

Classic on FM03 I think?
Savo gets loads of stick but he wasn't a bad forward at all. Scored loads at Zaragoza and was also joint top scorer in Euro 2000. Even for us he combined well with Dwight Yorke and scored in cup final (great long range strike v Leeds). Had 1 in 3 record which wasn't the worst.

Stéphane Guivarc'h mostly because of the weird apostrophe.
The duo of Vialli and Ravanelli, just sounds so good together.
Just makes you think how many millionaires the game has made. A random guy who played right back for a Southampton or whatever from 97-2001. Totally unmemorable player. Lived his dream and retired on a beach long ago. Much of the PL was Championship standard in the 90s from my recollection, although the money was less admittedly.
Played in my favorite team here in Serbia, Partizan. Was really good in the domestic league but never became more than a average striker abroad unfortunetaly, same with Kezman.
Marco Simone
Guy called Dave Busst I think played for Coventry and suffered one of the worst football injuries I’ve seen against us.
Also, some Bolton midfielder called Holden who was starting to show promise and was doing very well there until Jonny Evans did him at Old Trafford and pretty much ended his career.

One of my early heroes. Remember him being at Milan and wearing white boots, when nobody wore them.

Steve James !
He was just one of a string of CBs who we had in the late 60s and early 70s none of whom you could say were very good.
Off the top of my head, I remember Arnie Sidebottom and Paul Edwards around the same time as Steve James' era. There were others, as well, none of them United Legends, until Big Jim Holton arrived from Shrewsbury and became a genuine Legend in his couple of years at OT.
Stve James I remember as being a bit thin for his height and ( hope he isn't reading this ) goofy front teeth. Didn't realise he'd played a hundred games for us,
Arnie Sidebottom was ( is ?? ) the father of the English Fast Bowler and had fuzzy red hair, and Paul Edwards looked like a taller, fuller version of George Best.
But the late 60s and early 70s were not good times at OT - even worse than now....
Tommy O’Neil, another member of United's poor teams in early seventies.
