Biggest Flop?

[Lancet Fluke]

Jamie Pollock. That's it, I've been trying to remember his name for the last two days! I remember buying him from 'Boro on Championship Manager years ago when I played it, and he was brilliant. Drove my team forward and got loads of goals from midfield. Then we signed him.....SHITE! I remember being in the Kippax on one of the horrible dark sad days and we got a throw in. Pollock came over to get the ball and started to wave his arms maniacally at the Kippax, and everyone then starting cheering and shouting etc, etc, because good old Jamie got them going. I just sat there and thought 'start playing football you wanker and maybe we'd have something more to get worked up about other than a throw in at the half way fucking line'.....that's my abiding memory of him. FUCKER....good on Championship Manager and SHITE in real life!

My abiding memory of him is looping a horribly important header into his own net. He was cack.

hahahaha....can't believe I didn't remember that! I also remember when he was put through against the keeper (a good 30 yards out) and I said to the guy next to me, he'll fuck this right up. The sod only took it on and slid it under the keeper, and the young lad turned to me and said 'you're a real football genius'! Mind you, that header was a belter!

Definitely Vuoso for me.

This^^^^ Yes RSC was a dreaful buy, but the bottomline is we could afford for him to suck the 6m we spent on this guy was money we needed to build the club.

Samaras considering our precarious financial position at the time. We could have been relegated for many years (and might never have had Thaksin or Sir Sheikh) if not for Dunne, Distin, Richards, Barton and Mpenza.

we owe everything to Joey - it's like the beat of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon causes the monsoon

money-wise, it has to be Jo, followed by Vuoso and Macken
