#8 Tino Asprilla
Asprilla left Parma for Newcastle United for 6.7 million pounds in 1995 where he played for three seasons and was hot one minute and cold the next. There were problems off the field too. He famously scored a hat-trick for Newcastle against Barcelona in an unforgettable 1997 Champions League game at St James' Park, which ended in a 3-2 win for Newcastle. This would be the high point in his time playing for the Magpies, marking the tail end of The Entertainers era of the club but making him a cult hero on Tyneside.
Asprilla had to be officially working as a construction worker to gain a visa into Italy, where he rejoined Parma in 1998, scoring the goal that brought Milans "Invincible" run to an end. His career then wound down from that point, playing for various clubs in Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Colombia. He was known by his supporters in his home country as The Octopus for his uniquely flexible and fluid style. To everyone else he was 'Tino', or '2 goal Tino', as his goals usually came in twos.
thats not true, he is just know has "el tino"Caftards, I give you Jan -Aage Fjortoft, sharing what can only be described as "a moment" with Tim Flowers.
# 32741 Paul Stewart
Another inspired Liverpool signing from the Souness era. Plagued by injury, Stewart only played 32 times (scoring 1 goal) for Poo during his four year spell at the club. According to wikipedia...
"PAUL STEWART WAS THE SHITTEST PLAYER TO EVER WEAR THE RED SHIRT OF LIVERPOOL"

#-340 Stuart Barlow
Plucked by Everton from Business Houses League football with Sherwood Park, Barlow was a kind of scouse Mark Robins (but not as good). Claims to have scored a 35 yarder against Ipswich one time.
So obscure, the most interesting fact about him comes from within my own brain: my headmaster at secondary school was his uncle.

#1 Guy "Corporal Punishment" Whittingham
This bloke was pronounced a legend by many and more often as Villa Ace Guy Whittingham. Scored goals of majesty and genius, nearly signed for Man United, and eventually bankrupted both Newport and Newbury before fading into complete abscurity.
Guy Whittingham
I played football with him in the Army in 1988.Fcuk me he was quick, and scored goals for fun.
I believe his signing details for Portsmouth was that they paid something like £400 to buy him out the Army and gave him a £50k house.
Something along those lines anyway.
# 222222.2 Scott Sellars
Graced the top flight in the nineties with Blackburn, Leeds, Newcastle and Bolton. Voted 91st in the best ever 100 Leeds players, Sellars had a left foot so cultured it spoke a dozen languages.
I've just read that he once set up 2 goals for Andy Cole as Newcastle beat Liverpool 3-0 in 1994 - so he can be forgiven for the Leeds thing.
I've got his autograph somewhere and I might put it on e-bay if anyone's interested.

John Salako
Hamish McAlpine - Dundee United legend. According to their stats he scored 3 times in his career..

Despite his heroics, he still looks like a dodgy character from a 70's home-made porno

Fact no2 :
Team mates affectionately nicknamed barlow "jigsaw" , because as soon as he was in the box he fell to pieces.

I live in Bournemouth and see him out on the town now and then. He's a tall bugger. Also about a year ago I saw him in a nightlub with Ramon Vega.
Never heard any stories about him and recreational drugs though (another ex-spurs player who i'll call Sheddy Terringham on the other hand..)

Garry William Flitcroft.
Made 116 apps for shitty scoring 13 goals, and 248 apps for Blackburn (14)
A midfielder of such stunning mediocrity that in many games a cardboard cut out would have been an improvement. Also outed bt the News of the World for an extra martital affair, the most interesting thing he ever did.

The Norwich forward scored the 1989/90 goal of the season in a 4-4 draw with Southampton.

He was also Cloughies last ever signing, if I remember rightly.

Only came across this thread today - grade A hilarity
Hey, this bit hasn't been removed from Wiki yet, though it's blatantly untrue. Interesting.#3 Ian Woan
A decent left winger thought by many to be the key to Englands troubles down the left side of midfield, but alas, never got the call up. Many say it's becasue he lacked passion. An absolute nobody of a man. Woan has recently been garnering plaudits in recent times within the music circle, having formed a promising Sludgecore outfit named Cretinous Cavern with former Forest teammate Steve Chettle.
Faustino Asprilla
After leaving Newcastle..Asprilla had to be officially working as a construction worker to gain a visa into Italy, where he rejoined Parma in 1998, scoring the goal that brought Milan's "Invincible" run to an end. His career then wound down from that point, playing for various clubs in Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Colombia.
he has also recently appeared in various Colombian Reality Shows like Desafio 2004 and Nomadas, in which his sense of humor and charismatic personality made him an audience favourite.

Pavel Srnicek
Played for a host of shit clubs, from Newcastle to Sheffield wednesday...
For over 10 years, he was also the only goalkeeper to receive a rating of 10/10, in the individual players ratings in British tabloid The Sun, despite being on the losing side in a 1996-97 season Premiership match against Liverpool, until Robert Green received the same rating for his performance as West Ham goalkeeper against Arsenal.
He has since begun the Srnicek school of goalkeeping in Czech Republic offering youngsters from around the world to learn from his unique coaching styles

Davor Suker
After having a good career on the continent and after winning the golden boot at France '98 he was signed up by Arsene Wenger in the summer of 1999. A powerful striker with a cracking left foot he pulled a Shevchenko on us years before the Ukranian arrived. Already in his thirties by this point a move to England proved to be a bad choice, he lasted only one season before being shipped off to West Ham where he again left after one miserable season.

I heard he become a porn star or something back home
Was reading this before I got promoted, cheers lads !
Wow. He looks unbelievably swedish.
Re: topic
I was also going to post a picture of John McGinley at Bolton, but all the hits I get is of that bloke from Scrubs.
