biggest under-acheiver at the club
who would you say has let us down the most over the years? I honestly can't think of that many players who have signed for us with big things expected and then they have failed to deliver - with the notable exception of Justin Jackson.
anyone?

Re: biggest under-acheiver at the club
Gary Dunford came with a massive reputation for scoring goals in the 80s, but I don't think he scored at all for us (DDevil will come along later with the stats....lol).
And what about Alan Rogers?

Re: biggest under-acheiver at the club
Sean Doherty, Ian Craney (2nd stint) and my favourite Graham Branch.

Re: biggest under-acheiver at the club
Graham Branch was not an under-achiever, he was useless, lazy and a complete waste of ink on the team sheet and the programme.

Re: biggest under-acheiver at the club
Didn't Alan Rogers achieve a spectacular sending off against Notts County thereby enhancing his position in the esteem of their fans?

Re: biggest under-acheiver at the club
May be departing from the theme Paul Crichton appears to have an exalted position in the hall of fame. Does anyone have reminiscences of his time with the club?

Re: biggest under-acheiver at the club
I have nightmares about his 'gift' against morecambe. Free kick, simple catch and he decides to be cocky and control it on his chest, gets it all wrong and provides a simple tap in to the morcambe forward. What a prize pratt!!! As a keeper myself it is an impressive reminder to keep within your own limitations as a footballer!!!

Re: biggest under-acheiver at the club
as ive only returned last few seasons, can only comment on those, but "Branch" brought a whole new meaning to "******"
