This genuinely deserves a thread all of its own. Big shout by legs77 with Tony Hackworth. When you don’t spend money on players too regularly, it becomes harder.

My Lord we’ve signed some ****e but given the wider context, I’m leaving Morais off the list for discussion. Hope he goes well, comes back in Jan and makes us stronger.

Just what I was thinking, the options are endless!

If we're talking strikers, I'll offer Ricky Green.

Just checked this guys Wiki page. £40,000 for 9 appearances and no goal. In 1978 too. That’s mad.

The fun we’d all have if we did this on ability alone. Wow…

The worst of it was, I think I watched all those 9 games. Jimmy Sirrel picked him but he admitted his mistake and we moved on. That's what you do when you make a mistake, isn't it? Or maybe not.

It get's worse - he was signed as Les Bradd's replacement and signed from Chesterfield!!!

I have one really bizarre random memory of Ricky Green. Back in those days there were no cones, coaches and routines, the pre-match warm up consisted of a couple of minutes where 3 or 4 balls were on the pitch and the players just took a few shots at the keeper. It was my first sighting of the newly signed Ricky Green, and I was keen to see what he offered. I swear he didn't touch the ball once in the warm up, and that was as good as it got!

I'm losing enthusiasm for this season very quickly.

Why the question mark, if you've read it.

Because the source was X.

OK?

Same, when he actually managed to start matches last season he looked pretty decent. From what I remember he ran the show against Newport last October.

Tony Hackworth has to be up there pure cr*p and cost quite abit of money / plus big salary questionable attitude as well none of that you could throw at Morias.

Well, I don't like to single players out (honestly), but Tony Hackworth was surely the stuff of nightmares. I think we paid a lot of money for him & he arrived with huge expectations. After a game or two everybody was saying "uh... is this a joke?". What I saw of him playing, it was just like the proverbial fish mouth open disbelief.

Recall (allegedly) Bill Shankly: "He could not trap a bag of cement!"
