    Are there any players that you have fond memories of, yet feel they have been forgotten?

    I ask this because I was watching the 2001/2 season review recently, and there were some players who I remember growing up watching, but then they disapeared!!!

    I'll start things off...

    Jamie Mclen
    - I'm sure he played for us!! Young midfielder, tidy on the ball and had a run in our first team in 2002, I remember him getting motm at home to Arsenal in an Fa Cup Quarter final! ... wtf happened???

    Clarence Acuna

    Considering we beat Man U to his signature, and he captained Chile, he must have been decent. Yet he left us aged 27 and I haven't heard a thing since!!!

    Honourable mentions for Christian Bassedas, Diego Gavilan (had so much hype), Carl Cort and Oguchi Onyewu (sp)

    Onyewu was at AC Milan, they either sold or loaned him out this season though.

    I miss Emre too.

    That's strange how he's ended up at that level, but things might have been different in todays transfer climate. He was young English and quite promising, just look where that got Jordan Henderson!

    Thought we might have seen more of Chopra and Offiong, two promising youngsters when they first hit the scene.

    Good opportunity for me to ask this, where is Olivier Bernard's cafe exactly?

    Details are yet to be finalised, but Ollie is planning to launch the plush bistro-style coffee bar on Dean Street.

    Didn't know he had one, I'd have thought he'd make more of a Publican than a cafe owner.

    I'm pretty sure Diego Gavilan's first game for us was against Man Utd and we beat them and he assisted two of the goals.

    I could be completely wrong but whatever game it was I remember him being great then never seeing him again, disappointing.
