Glen Keeley arrived from Blackburn for £15k.

 

Not sure what you were expecting from a player who cost less than a Ford Mondeo.

I reckon you could have fixed yourself up with something nicer than a Mondeo for £15k back then.

Craig Davies? Behave son, the guy was binned off by incompetent management after scoring a decent number up front on his own.

 

Madness.

 

Toddy is harsh too. Though crap, when he scored once the scoreboard (remember that?) flashed up a "hot Toddy" graphic which was class.

I'll throw one out there - Chris Killen

 

How dare you tar Chris with the same brush as Michael Ricketts and Michael Clegg. I think in general, nearly every on loan striker during Sheridans reign. Ormerod, Kabba, Windass any more?

Bit harsh on Nicky Banger? I seem to remember him scoring a fair few.

 

10 League goals in nearly 70 wasnt good enough.

 

When he signed on loan initially in Oct 94 he looked a world beater especially against Arsenal in the

League Cup.

 

Once signed up, he rarely rose above mediocre (Stuart 'Deirdre' Barlow was much more effective) but did at least net the winner against City in Dec 96.
