The boy not so special...

Peckhart...

andy reid, the guy had a great left foot but was fatter than huddlestone

Absolutely, we should never have let Young go. A very competent right back.

From memory though Charlton paid a lot of money for him (£4-5m??) not like we let him go cheaply. And he was stuck behind Stephen Carr

Hossam Ghaly.

Lost four teeth, threw away the shirt but if he only could have stayed on form he cudda shudda...

Andy Turner? At the time youngest premier league scorer aged 17. Disappeared without trace.

No I agree, but the original point was Young shouldn't be in a list of players that didn't really make it.

 

[jimbo]

Kerslake, Nethercott? I guess they kind of made it, even if they shouldn't have. Paul Mahon? Steve Slade?

 

[whitelanefever]

Terry Dixon- wonderful talent who's career was destroyed by injury

 

[parklane1]

Neil Mcnab, he was 16 when he made is debut and he looked great, he moved on to several clubs and made a name for himself at City.

 

[gp13tot]

Ricketts and blondel

Good call, I thought he would be a bit special.

 

[Metalhead]

Bit of an obvious one:
Rebrov

Mention for Postiga too. Wanted him to do well, rather than thought he actually would.

Shame about Rebrov. Like a true double act, him and Shevchenko were greater than the sum of their parts.

 

[NEVILLEB]

I thought Ryan Mason would make it. He has a good football brain.

Taarabt has to be the biggest disappointment. His debut was amazing and I thought he'd become a great player. His big head ruined it.

Was his debut against Derby County?

Terry Dixon

He was called up to the Republic Of Ireland full squad at 16 years-old before he'd even played a game for us and everyone got a bit excited.

I remember he had a bad knee injury. Don't think he was ever the same after.

Mido had the ability to achieve a lot more than he did

But there are a lot of kebab shops near Seven Sisters, so that was that...

Wasn't he Billy Nicks last siginig ? Pretty sure he was.

Yes i think he was, i may have got this wrong but i believe we actually paid a fee for him as well.

Now there's a name from the past I'd forgotten all about.
