double named signings (1 Viewer)

[paulw]

Have we ever signed someone who has played for the club with the same name?

The reason I ask is an Ashley Grimes has signed for Walsall. If he had signed for us he would have been the second Ashley Grimes.

We had this cracking winger once. Scored loads of goals. Cov kid. Got sold to brum.

Then we signed another one with the same name a few years later, but he was no where near as good :thinking about:

To be fair one Ashley Grimes is definitely enough.

On a serious note, I assume if you go back to the very early days, there would of been.

The English population mainly consisted of John, James, Willie and Charlie.

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Looked down recent team sheete and we seem to have taken on a few by the name of keen on A.Triallist (not sure if they were up to much) :facepalm:

From the terraces I seem to remember a few called U twat - not sure if they were related

We actually had THREE players called Paul Williams in the 90s.

Paul A Williams was the one on loan, as outlined in the link above. Paul D Williams was the one everyone remembers as he was here for a few seasons. There was also a Paul R Williams who played for a spell between the other two, in 93-95. We signed him from Stockport and he eventually went to Plymouth.

We also had a Lee Hurst and a Lee Hirst, who were both at the club together I believe.

Westwood, Best, Eastwood, Wood

Not quite what the OP intended but it used to be my party piece a few years back

 

[Snozzer]

We had 2 Lee Hurst's except one was spelt Hirst. Does that count?

 

[mrtrench]

There were also two Lee Hursts/Hirsts.

And at one stage we had an entire team of Gary Breens.
