Ah yes, Terry Alderton, the fraud who continually claims he played against Swansea on Freddy's debut. Hello Ryan Clarke.

Myton and Matthews were only on loan , whos the other one from Spurs played one game down at Bournmouth

How quickly some forget his moment of Senior Cup glory!

I was at that game. I don't think I have seen anyone less happy scoring a goal.

Personally, I think we missed a trick with Zoltan, who looked like a more than half decent defender who was comfortable on the ball.

I seem to remember he kept Rooney very quiet in a international for Hungary.

George Duck
Francisco Cagigao

I almost mentioned Cagigao but he’s since made a decent living as a respected scout at Arsenal so thought that ruled him out as obscure..

Paul Moran?

I hate it when he does that and nobody questions it, even though it is an easy fact to check.

Leon Hunter, one league cup? appearance.

 

[LBBlue]

Gareth Risbridger and Glen Skivington anyone ?

 

[LCBB72]

Paul Moran?

Lockdown Insomnia is kicking in. A few blasts from the past who went on to rock the footballing world:
Lars Unger
Miguel de Souza
Garry Cross
Dave McSweeney
Matt Jones
Neville Roach
David Matthews
Chris Coyne
James Lawson
Leke Odunsi

 

[ESG]

Liam Ridgwell was on the pitch for 60 minutes if that.

 

[RobM]

Unger made his debut for Southend United in a Third Division match, in the 3–1 away defeat against Halifax Town at The Shay on 13 February 1999.

That's how to make an impact!

Jake Cassidy
Conor Clifford has been thankfully forgotten

I think both these two featured far too often to be obscure.

 

[Ricey]

Lloyd Sam

 

[Richard Hearn]

Wasn't the original premise of this post to identify players who may have indeed played a number (or a lot) of games for the club but yet few of us remember? The older I get the more of these there seem to be.

Although, as I have already said, I do still remember some odd ones like Mike Angus and, indeed, Glen Skivington, but why, I don't know.
