BP1960 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I go way way back to Bobby Johnstone, then among others there's Alan Groves, Simon Stainrod, Rick Holden, Andy Ritchie, who are your favourite signings? I include in this loanees like Ripley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Enrique Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I was most excited when we signed paul moulden and darren beckford. neither quite worked out as i'd hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Graeme Sharp. He was getting on a bit.... but still a 1st division centre forward..... and we wouldn't have signed him had we not just gone up. Felt like we were amongst the big time.

Bristolatic Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Signing Bobby Johnstone probably excited me at the time more than any since. I couldn't believe we'd actually got him. Since then, Gary Kelly, Paul Futcher, Martin Buchan would be up there for the same reason; I didn't expect us to be able to sign players of that quality. But the players who probably excited me most once they'd arrived (because I knew little about them beforehand) were Rick Holden and Alan Groves.

ajw65 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Wow...great question... My earliest memories of signings go back to Alan Young.. Followed pretty quickly by Vic Halom, John Hurst, Carl Valentine, Simon Stainrod, Kenny Clements, Ryszard Kowenicki, Paul Futcher, Rodger Wylde, Tony Henry, Roger Palmer etc....... I could go on and on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 In (fairly) recent times remember being well chuffed with Beckett, Gregan, Liddell and Wellens signings. And Kilkenny second time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record £750,000 signing of Ian Olney created quite a buzz, although some may have thought after he didn't quite live up to his fee.

Think one or two are interpreting the question differently. I went with, who was I excited about. Others appear to be answering, who they thought our best signing was.

dannyboy55555 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I remember being excited when we signed Paul Kane from Hibs. Not sure why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I remember being excited when we signed Sean McCarthy, because he'd been banging goals in for fun at Bradford. Actually Chris Armstrong as well, because we were paying a six figure fee for a very promising player and it looked like a sign of ambition for the club. I recall we were in for Jon Newby at the same time. It felt like we were aiming for players that would take us up the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
