Gilbert Bos. With the right coach, he could have become a world beater.
Reuben Reid.
Would probably fail Warnies Good Human Being test, the moody, sulky, brooding Reid turned out to be a one season wonder and we had him for that one season.
After a number of impressive powerful displays and a decent goal tally to his name in League 2, it looked like he was going places. West Brom took him for around £600k but he failed to make an impact and gradually dropped back down to L2 via a number of clubs.
Last I heard he was still useful at that level but really could have been so much more.
Bugsy the mascot never seemed to reach the heights to which he aspired.
Paddy Brogan.
Yes I remember Shaun Goodwin well and his short term trial at Everton. Other managers were also looking at him. A shame any move didn’t materialise, he could well have done it at an higher level.
Raggy liked a bet or two, when old man Booth sent the wages up to Millmoor in cash as soon as Raggy got his he was straight in the bookies, high stakes as well.
I always thought Micky Gooding could have been a very good player,Vaulks reminded me bit of Gooding.
