GrahamHughes 11 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 With today being the anniversary of the 5-4 Peterborough game,christened Gary Harkins day,how many players can we think of on loan or just briefly here who were fan favorites albeit briefly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he was an outright signing from Notts County rather than loanee Either way it never seemed he was a big favourite with fans Edit: Yes , he was a signing , cost £5000 . Five appearances including four as sub! Edited January 26 by LaticsPete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stainrod 196 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Simon Stainrod did about 18 months before moving to QPR. Made his name with us and one of most of my generation’s favourites along with Grovesy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
singe 2,214 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Even though he scored in the Posh game I have no recollection of David Worall playing for us at all. Others, who played similar numbers or less I recall more vividly like Matty Palmer or Kean Bryan or Simon Charlton. Edited January 26 by singe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C.O.JONES 17 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Martin Buchan for one season kept us in the old division 2 on his own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oafcmetty 1,669 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Paul Mardon - 3 in 12 from centre back. Legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lee Sinnott2 83 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Lewis Guy played a massive part in us staying up in 09/10... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Worcester Owl 655 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Ernie Cooksey. 37 appearances in 2003/4, and he moved up three leagues to play for us. He had one game the next season before Talbot let him go. He was scouted by Iain Dowie's brother Bob, who also found us Fitz Hall and Wayne Andrews. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Talbot was also one of our worst managers but that's another thread! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_Og 3,659 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Paul Beevers. Important on loan, hopeless when permanent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tringerlatic42 53 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 A player called Johnson came from Villa about 2014 or so played about 12 games and was dynamite- I saw his opening goal at Home to crawley it was a gem. He is now at PNE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_Og 3,659 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Given his status (including with me) it's remarkable how few games Jim Fryatt played for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LightDN123 561 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Always remember Matt Derbyshire up top for us. Scored all his goals being offside. Good player tho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bristolatic 2,840 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Jeff Wealands came to us on loan in the mid-80s and probably didn't manage a dozen games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also remember George Kinnell who played 12 games scoring 8 and then was sold to Sunderland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GrahamHughes 11 Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Some names before my time but interesting reading about them.First loan signing I remember was probably Neil Adams who we subsequently signed.One more recent who stood out was Ripley the keeper,whatever happened to him he looked superb for us.
