Ya know th one i always could have kicked us on at an important time but didn't (due ta injury) was Alan Gow, genuinely think he would have been a cracker. Ah was that was when we gave Exeter Richards in return for Gow and Richards effectively kept Exeter up and Gow barely featured for us as we went down?

Just for comedic effect (well you can be the judge of that) since I think he did OK - Alan Ball. Channon and Ball, geddit? I'll get my coat.

Not sure if it was exciting at the time but remember a bit of publicity about it. Martin Dobson I think signed a midfielder from Manchester United, David Wilson, barely played, whatever happened to him?

I thought Scott Mcgleish was going to get a hatful under Buckle but his legs had gone. Zebroski and Anyinsah were two others from that period who didn’t reach anything like what was expected.

Well given his previous achievements the biggest misfire for me was Bob Lee.
Three imports that disappointed Carlos Sanchez López, Rune Johansen....and despite making thirty odd appearances for us I hoped for better from Stephane Leoni.
Jimmy Hamilton and Paul Bannon were let downs because they weren’t able to fill the boots they replaced.

Jamie white - I remember saying to my friend who didn't watch the gas much but come along to a couple of pre season friendlies to keep an eye out for him I'm expecting big things. Much to my disappointment he hardly ever started!! His appearances from the bench were far from inspiring either.
Blizzard - As others mentioned he was sold to us as a championship player but never delivered and spent most of his career on the injury bench.
David Clarkson - Genuinly believed we had signed some real quality with him, how wrong I was. Another player who couldn't keep himself fit whilst sat on a hefty pay packet. A lot of my c**y fan mates were gutted to see him go not sure why.
Chris Dickson - what a debut! Didn't live up to it after though.
Some younger talent that didn't live up to the potential of their youth team success.
Shaquille hunter. Charlie Reece. Alfie Santos.
Few sub appearances they looked good but just didn't push on.
More recently been really disappointed with Josh barrett. Sold himself really well in interviews but just hasn't delivered yet. Fingers crossed he sorts his fitness out and comes good.
Got a name in the back of my head from the trollop era, I think his name was Andrews?
We couldn't buy a goal and we loaned him in from Coventry, made his debut at a rainy dull huish park vs yeovile He looked really lively and what I thought was the answer to our goal draught. He ended up injuring himself after about 20 minutes! I was gutted
Bit harsh to call him a flop but I was definatly disappointed.

Didn’t he score 120 odd goals in the SPFL. Someone posted the UTube Clips. He looked fckn awesome, I was Absolutely fizzing. He was more disappointing than half a w*nk.

After one who crossed the river with a lot of promise was Akinde. Was in the C*ty squad in a higher league and doing alright and had a very promising first couple of games. Soon tailed off...

Shame as he was having a lot of success at wycombe prior to joining us and looked decent in his sub appearances for the sh** heads. Barnet got the best out of him, shame we couldn't. The biggest kick in the teeth was he was our replacement for sir Ricky!! And it took us 6 months to do so..

Tom Nichols has to be the biggest flop this club has ever seen. Massive fee and what do we get? "Our most naturally gifted player".
