Brobalov Minkymoo... 
We had Jaroslav Drobny on trial in the championship
Ended up signing on a short term contract at Ipswich the same summer after we had him on trial but never played. Then had a very successful Career in the Bundesliga at Hamburg- and was a full Czech international

Matthew Christensen, 14 year old Australian midfielder we signed around 2000. Highly touted, ended up playing a bit at Southampton but nothing spectacular

Richard Spong - came over from Sweden into our youth team and expected to be another Roland Nilsson.

We had him and another young Swedish player at the same time Andreas Dahl who was highly rated, never made an appearance for us but went on to have a decent career in the Swedish league and gaining a few international appearances.

He was hopeless - sold Juke and got him in return.

Was just reading an article on FourFourTwo; “worst Prem footballers of all time”.
www.fourfourtwo.com
The winner was the legend that is Ali Dia. He’s the guy who pretended to be George Weah’s cousin but was actually never a footballer. Signed for Southampton on the back of a fake phone call and played in the first team for a match.
Apparently, had a trial at Cov. Lucky that Russel Slade wasn’t our manager at the time I guess.
Ali Dia is one for the list here then.

Didn't he have arthritis or some sort of joint condition? He was clickety-Klak
This was against Preston. I was there on work experience with the CT for the day. We lost 4-0 and Fadiga going mental at Kyle got the biggest cheer of the day. We had to wait around for ages for the post match press conference because Dowie was going crazy at the team in the changing room afterwards.

Bigi nowhere in site on the pitch but right in there for the celebrations!
This guy was a genius for me on an old version of Football Manager.
I remember a sustained campaign from people who believed Jack McBean was the answer to our striker problems a few years ago.
