Snuck into some sort of mini-revolution at Boro in which they brought in some decent foreign players, and was generally a bit pretty. Scored the odd goal here and there too.
Absolutely Random footballers from the 1990's

Nah! Geezer called Kenny Allen!
Ashley Ward.
Mart Poom - Goalkeeper for Derby known for having a ridiculous sirname
Savo Milosevic - nicknamed Savo Miss-a-lot-a-vic by the press during his time at Villa

Never heard of him.
Yordan Lechkov - scored the goal that knocked Germany out of 94 WC for Bulgaria
For some reason, I always associate average Premier League footballers of the 1990s with Aston Villa.
Mark Draper, Alan Wright, Ian Taylor, Riccardo Scimeca, Lee Hendrie...

Benito Carbone - One of the biggest journeymen of all time, had a new club every season throughout his whole carear, usually sold on when they realised he was kak
Ramon Vega - 3 seasons at Spurs and a season on loan at Celtic, may have scored against us in our 3-5 game at White Hart Lane
Karl Fletcher - Harchester United dream boat, rumoured to have slept with Chairmans wife Karla Block before spending a season at Real Mallorca, died in some crazy accident
I reckon Fernando Nelson, Gary Charles, Julian Joachim, Tommy Johnson, Phil King, Gareth Farrelly, Carl "£1.4 mil" Tiler, Darren Byfield and Darius Vassell also deserves a mention
Dunno if you could count him as 90's as the majority of his career has been in the 00's, but Lee Hughes? Scored a shitload of goals for West Brom in the late 90's, moved to Coventry, who broke him and returned him to West Brom two years later. Got arrested. Still playing in League One.

Dobe
I think you mean Dube? And you've only just found this out?Dobe
Yes Dube and I've only found about it now. FML!!John Spencer. Chelsea midget with a habit of scoring against United.
Remember when Coventry bought Hadji and the shitter one, Chippo after a decent game against Scotland in the 98' World Cup
Jaime Moreno. Once on loan at Middlesboro' but mainly remembered for being an absolute goalscoring legend in Championship Manager.
Andy Impey. West Ham. Great name.

Did more than 'get arrested'. Was jailed for 6 years for killing someone in his car and leaving the scene. Served 3 and was back out scoring goals.
You are not alone. I'd never heard of it either.

Robert Rosario - a legend for all the wrong reasons. I remember being shocked when Clough signed him to solve Forest goalscoring problems the season they got relegated.
Rosario with 29 goals in 161 for Norwich and 8 in 59 for Coventry....needless to say he flopped at Forest where he scored 3 in 26

Karl Fletcher - Harchester United dream boat, rumoured to have slept with Chairmans wife Karla Block before spending a season at Real Mallorca, died in some crazy accident
Just googled and looked at his Wikipedia.. Can't believe they have his full made-up 'career' statsWho was the one who jumped off the top of the stadium?
btw it was Murcia not Mallorca
Ramon Vega - 3 seasons at Spurs and a season on loan at Celtic, may have scored against us in our 3-5 game at White Hart Lan
He didn't, but was kind enough to score an own goal for us in 1997.
Oh - thought of another player worth a mention. Dean Richards (RIP)
Probably the only player in profession football to experience losing a 3-0 lead at half-time with 2 different teams...after scoring in both games.
When he was at Southampton - they were 3-0 up at Tranmere at half-time after goals from Kachloul, Tessem and Richards - before a Paul Rideout hat-trick and a goal from Stuart Barlow turned the match around.
Only 7 months lafter - Richards had been sold to Spurs and they found themselves 3-0 up at half-time against United, with Richards again scoring one of the goals. But as we all remember, United struck 5 times in the second half to win the game.

I didn't know he died. RIP. Cracking game against Spurs though, Gus Poyet played for them didn't he?
The best part was he looked like a grandad, bald with random patches of hair, more a taxi driver than a professional athlete. One of those people you see scoring in a WC, in such a big game, and give you hope you maybe could do that some day. Until you try a stepover and fall on your arse that is.
Why was Wes banned he seemed like a decent sort
Didn't he pm beastiality and other questionable materials to people ?
I've never fallen down while attempting a stepover. Maybe because I've never attempted a stepover
Gavin Peacock!
Gabriele Ambrosetti.
Born in Varese, he played for several Italian sides, including Brescia and Vicenza, before signing for English club Chelsea for £3.5m in August 1999. He arrived as, according to his manager, Gianluca Vialli, the 'Italian Ryan Giggs', but struggled to live up to the tag and in four years made only a handful of appearances. He made his Chelsea debut as a sub in a 1–0 home win against Aston Villa. Fun fact - every team he played for ended in a.
