Best Loan signings ever

[C C Csiders]

Blatantly plagiarising DtS' idea how about a line-up of thje best loan signings we've ever made. Anyone in the line-up is not allowed to have signed for us permanently:

GK - John Burridge (Aston Villa)

RB - Gary Parkinson (Middlesbrough)
CD - Adrian Burrows (Plymouth)
CD - Guy Butters (Tottenham)
LB - Stephen Kelly (Tottenham)

RM -
CM - Steve Harkness (Liverpool)
CM -
LM - Lee Hodges (West Ham)

For - John Linford (Ipswich)
For - Kevin Rapley (Brentford?)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

No Richard Jobson?

 

[DTS]

I liked Ars Lunger but expect to get shot down in flames for that one...

Rubbish lead singer in The Skids and Burrows and Butters far superior IMO. Burrows was absolutely brilliant.

I liked him too, but I don't think he was actually on loan was he? More a free agent.

 

[TrueBlue]

Gavin Strachen?

I always thought Lars was a loan.

 

[TrueBlue]

Andy Woodman in goal?

No way over Budgie. With Gerry Peyton a close second.

As I thought released by Fortuna Dusseldorf, so not a loan, and he was then released by us and went to play in Austria. Quite a fascinating little article.

Did Lawrie Dudfeild join on loan initially ??....as i still think he almost single handedly kept us in the football league.

Yes, but he is excluded under the caveat in my first post.

Gavin Strachen?

Probably in by default in CM as I can't think of any other decent midfield loanees.

:o I guess i should read it aye :fart:

 

[Maldon Blues]

Lee Chapman?!

 

[Firestorm]

Who was the Irish international Centreback we got on loan from reading so he could get his fitness back ? name completely escapes me but he was useful.

I agree with Chapman

Barry Hunter.

 

[Firestorm]

Thats the one.

Thank you

This would have been our best loan signing ever :-

He confirmed that Southend had shown an interest in Hammers youngster Michael Carrick, which would now seem dead, as he is currently starring in midfield for First Division strugglers Swindon

Thought we signed a certain Freddy Eastwood on loan initially, which lasted just a couple of games before he was offered a permanent deal.
