Right gonna go slighty recent

- Van Buyten

- Andres Isakson (big quality keeper, unlucky with injury)

-Huckerby ( only played 66 games but record was at least 1-3 - albeit at a lower level

- Barton (our mid-field now = world class)

- Ireland (that season)

- Clive Allen

- Paul Lake

 

[Citizen Green]

Vedran Corluka.
