Players you have forgotten played for us

Just looking at the Paul Dickov goal thread, I genuinely forgot that he played for us. Might be the daftest thread ever as if you've forgotten they played for us, you probably won't remember their names, but any players who have cropped up who you forgot once wore tangerine.
 
I remember Orr. Paul Ince brought him in for a month loan after Xmas. One of Steve Keans signings who never got a game all season. Only played a handful of games for us.
 
I'd forgotten all about Darren O'Dea till that international tournament post came up.
Instantly forgettable (rolls eyes). Didn't he get sent off at BR when playing for Dirty?
 
The ultimate 'forgot about' player for me was Chris Speak. I'd forgotten about him so much that even looking at his name on a teamsheet I thought 'who the hell is he?' when I finally remembered him I tried to get in touch with him to see if he'd do an interview for my blog about Billy and the early/mid 90s.

I think he probably filed my message under 'weird and unwanted' as I never heard back...
 
Possibly, I can vaguely remember he had a bad haircut and wasn't very mobile.
Seemed to be a recruitment 'must have' for Larry when he was here. Another static defender but who refused to play once and SG said 'he'll never play for Leeds again'. Andy O'Brien did but only after they'd sacked Grayson 😑
 
If it was a list of players you’d forgotten about, it wouldn’t be very long, would it?🥴
 
We must set a record for instantly forgettable players. I only remember some of them when someone on here mentions them.
 
How could we forget these two. Peter Noble with the very authentic Ralph Coatesesque comb over, and Paul Fletcher, who I really liked whilst playing for us.

In a recent thread about players coming to Pool not for a final pay day those two were my offering Levi.
Both contributed in what was a poor team in the early 80s. Fletcher scored 8 in 20 appearances for us which is a good return.
 
Crossy must have a full time job trying to keep up with all these players for the ex players association.
 
Remember Marcel Seip a defender who scored a couple of goals during a short loan spell.
One of which was against Plymouth, the club he was on loan from. Wasn't there something about him having a relationship with the Chairman's daughter, hence his loan?
 
I was looking at the Play Off winning side from 3 years ago, I would never have guessed in a million years that Sam Slocomb was our keeper.
 
John Teasdale came to mind recently, someone I probably hadn’t thought of since the mid 80s. I remember he scored in the promotion season run in (v Tranmere?) and I thought big Sam may have unearthed another gem. I think he disappeared without trace soon afterwards.
 
after watching the game yesterday, Michael Chopra later to be followed by the another failed Mag Nile Ranger
