Geoff Lomax. Wow, he was pap.

Phil Hammond, anyone? Or the guy who broke his leg when he stepped on the ball (no joke)...what was he called? Scott Hiley maybe?

I know he was not a full back and it's going way off-topic, but the absolute prince of total shite was...Bobby Shinton.

Definitely not a hate figure. When I was a lad he was a promising youngster, but Gary Flitcroft alongside him was the one we had really high hopes for. Lomas was coming into his own in CM when he left. I distinctly remember him scoring the only goal of our first game following relegation to what was then Division One (against Ipswich I think). I remember leaving the ground that day thinking promotion would be a formality. 21 months and 5 managers (including Neill and Hartford) later we were relegated to the third tier. Funny old game, innit?

The one that sticks out for me is the goal he scored at Villa Park that I thought was going to keep us up. Those little moments defined whether I liked players or not back then, I don't think my capacity for remembering whole games was fully formed at that age.

Did you mean Geoff Hammond, blonde hair guy from the mid 70's?
Played a handful of games at fullback from what I recall.

If he gets anywhere near your first team this term, I will bellow with (bitter) laughter.

Its indescribably dumb that you pay him £100k a week.

Scratch that. Its actually vulgar.

He is shite.

Still walked into your team though eh pal?!?

To be fair, you made a snide remark and got shat on. It was pretty funny, but your childish "go and rim the guy" reaction is even funnier.

I thought every young, homegrown player would turn out to be mint back then. Even David Brightwell. Even Adie Mike. Even Jim Whitley, though I was a bit older and wiser by then.
