Players you liked who weren't fan favourites/great players

I played against Kosowski once. He was having a kickabout for FC Poland against my sunday team. Nice guy and he had some impressive skills!

 

Robbie slater-great drive and purpose.

Neil Heaney-very pacey

Neil shipperley and Gordon Watson -worked tirelessly for the team

 

Paul Williams - brought in to replace Deano when he left for Spurs. Did a great job at centre half alongside Claus until the arrival of Killer.
Had the pleasure of meeting him in a local Tesco as well, he came across really well and seemed pretty grounded.

Now of course back at Saints as youth development coach.

 

And of course a much bigger man

 

Plays for Bradford City. Won promotion to League 1 with them last season and bagged 4 goals along the way.
Also played the second half of the Capital One Cup final against Swansea.

 

Dave Puckett .

 

Always had a liking for Lee Holmes. Had it not been for injuries, he'd have been a fine player for us.

 

Oscar Gobern just for the mental tackle.

 

Yeah I agree. Had a lot of potential but desperately unlucky with injury. If he could have stayed injury free, who knows how far he could have gone.
I remember when we signed him, Jan Poortvliet described him as the next Arjen Robben!

Still struggles with injury but managed 28 appearances for Preston last season which is a career highest number in a single season for him.

 

Hopefully he'll overcome it and possibly turn into a very good Championship player. Certainly got that potential.

 

I had the pleasure of playing with "Pucks" at the end of his career, at Newport IOW. It was a little weird to be playing alongside someone I used to stand on the terraces and watch.
