Ruel Fox & Chris Sutton both had very good Premiership careers and played a fair bit of European football. Hardly on a level with Richard Wright & Jeffers who were bought for big money by Arsenal, had done well previously, won England call-ups, then disappeared when they should be in their prime now, or Bernard who disappeared from football completely.

ha ha Sutton was shit without shearer and ended up having to play jock football. And trust me Ruel fox did not flourish after leaving Newcastle.

 

Add Chris Armstrong to that list too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Prutton

could do a job on the right of midfield

 

It was prutton we were linked with when we emerged with jenas from forest (much in the same way we had been extensively linked with darren bent, and suddenly signed darren ambrose from ipswich!!)

 

collins john could be a sub-striker

I think Prutton is worthy of a place. Very good call.

 

Think the story at the time was we were close to getting him in the summer of 2001 from Forest but they were being fussy over the transfer fee, then as the season developed Jenas began to emerge, and we signed him instead for a couple of million more than what we'd offered for Prutton. :angry:

Danny, Caskey is hardly in his prime now is he? :angry: One of the best set piece takers I've seen play mind. Shame he was such a fat arse.

 

Svetoslav Todorov?

John Hartson (too old?)

Huckerby

Laurent Robert (can't believe he hasn't got a mention yet. Starting left winger)

I met him in a Casino in Lisbon. He is still playing (or was then) top flight portugese football. Hardly a fall from grace.
