Bloody hell, just look at the squad that got us promotion: Squad 1 GK Steve Simonsen 2 DF Andy Griffin 3 DF Marlon Broomes 5 DF Leon Cort 6 MF Glenn Whelan 7 MF Liam Lawrence 8 FW Jon Parkin 9 FW Richard Cresswell 10 FW Ricardo Fuller 11 FW Mamady Sidibe 12 FW Shola Ameobi (On Loan) 14 MF Danny Pugh 15 FW Vincent Péricard 16 DF Dominic Matteo 17 DF Ryan Shawcross 18 MF Salif Diao 19 DF Stephen Wright (On Loan) 19 FW Paul Gallagher (On Loan) 20 DF Ritchie De Laet 21 DF Gabriel Zakuani (On Loan) 22 DF Lewis Buxton 23 DF Jody Craddock (On Loan) 24 MF Rory Delap 25 GK Russell Hoult 26 MF Anthony Pulis 27 MF Demar Phillips 28 DF Andy Wilkinson 29 FW Jay Bothroyd (On Loan) 30 DF Ryan Shotton 31 DF Carl Dickinson 32 DF Chris Riggott (On Loan) 33 MF Stephen Pearson (On Loan) 34 FW Adam Rooney 35 MF Robert Garrett 36 GK Márton Fülöp 36 GK Carlo Nash (On Loan) 37 MF Matthew Hazley 39 MF Nathaniel Wedderburn How crap were most of them? I can count only 10 remaining, that came up that are still at the club. What a massive turnaround compared to todays squad. Think this shows just what an unbelievable job TP has done in just 3 years. Amazing, and long may it continue. UTP
Russell Hoult. There's a blast from the not so distant past. He played 1 league game that season if I remember rightly and got sent off!!
I remember going to Stoke v Ipswich that season, it was close to my birthday so it was in February and we won 1-0 through a cracking finish from Liam. Anyways, at full time Dicko came near where we were so I just started chanting "Dicko, Dicko, Dicko" and so on, and about 100 chanted along to it, and Dicko clapped it. Proud moment!!
