Listened to some stories from him on a podcast the other day. Decent player at the time

I've just googled him, turns out he's on the sex offenders register because he wanked himself off in his van in front of a mum and teenage daughter.
 
Love hearing all the old names.

Tore Andre Flo - For a tall bloke he had quick feet.
Egil Ostenstad - Terrorised Utd in one game.
Sasa Curcic -Good player. Actually had to come on Football Focus to tell everyone how to say his name correctly.
Christian Dailly - Very good defender. Bit of a journeyman.
Paulo Wanchope - Lanky awkward chap but had the knack to dribble out of small spaces and was skilful with the ball at his feet. Hansen loved him and would often be featured on MOTD.
Alex Manninger - Superb keeper. Never really got a chance at Arsenal but from what we did see he was class. Never got why they sold him.

Kenny Lunt always seemed to score against who ever I took over in the Championship or League 1.

Bought him once and he did shit all. So I left him to rot in the reserves so he couldn't ever score against me again.
 
I picture Morton Gamst Pederson, latching on to a nod down and fizzing the ball into the far corner as much as I think of the Roman Empire.

I swear Merlin must’ve printed 500,000 copies of this guy cause it felt like I used to get him in every single pack of stickers I bought! No fecker on the playground wanted to swap for him either.
 
In one of the early versions of Championship Manager you could buy a 35 year old John Aldrigde from Tranmere and he would be a pretty good guarantee for goals. Still remember the name

Whenever I see one of these threads, I always think of one player.
Paul Bosveldt
 
Sebastien Frey popped up in the CM 01/02 experiment thread, that was a name I hadn't thought about in about 15 years.
 
This thread needs more photos of old players in terribly ill-fitting shirts. So here's one:

Steve Potts

An American who was somehow a lifer at West Ham, but never played for the US national team.
