Barry Bosnian Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Luke Beckett, kept us up in 2005 & did well the following season. He was a real fans favourite at the time. Just had a look on Wikipedia, awesome goal tally: 2005 → Oldham Athletic (loan) 9 (6) 2005–2006 → Oldham Athletic (loan) 34 (18) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drw1909 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 A couple some of us oldies might remember. Tony Bailey from Derby County in the season we won the old Third Division. Ray Treacy from WBA (I think) set off like a train on fire but if memory serves got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyt84 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Tore Pedersen, looked decent then got injured. Cristian Colluso is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Banks, Zone 3 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Martin Hodge - had a great start to 1982-83 in goal on loan from Everton and would probably have become Peter McDonnell's permanent replacement had he not got injured. His injury though opened the door for Andy Goram and the rest, as they say, is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title refers to ‘one season’ wonders and as such refers to players who played for us for a single season or part of that season. Therefore your suggestion is in fact incorrect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how many of those named so far were wonders? 37 appearances in 2003/04 suggests he wasn't bad. Compared with some recent full backs we've had he was Maldini-esque. In any case the OP asked for fan favourites. Are you saying he wasn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dew Dilly Dance Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's a shame this thread has descended into pedantry. Alan Shackleton 1961/62 10 games 7 goals, then went onto playing non league. Might not have been a fan's favourite, but I liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
