Barry Bosnian 107 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) 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) Edited January 26 by Barry Bosnian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drw1909 3 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andyt84 16 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Tore Pedersen, looked decent then got injured. Cristian Colluso is another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Banks, Zone 3 16 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, or you're just a complete bore. But 9 games at the back of the season followed by 34 games the next counts to me as basically a season.

Londonboy 242 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Lots of good shouts on here. Personally loved Jermain Johnson when he was with us. Ran Sheff Weds ragged I remember at Hillsborough one BH! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dew Dilly Dance 6 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No Idea, he was only 27 when we signed him and had a good scoring record in higher divisions 1954–1958 Burnley 31 (18) 1958–1959 Leeds United 30 (16) 1959–1960 Everton 26 (10) 1960–1961 Nelson ?
