“Onandi Lowe was an awful player”.
Laugh all you like but the guy was an absolute beast of a player.
Had a better than one goal in every two games ratio in League One ( better than Ivan Toney) was 6’4’, could play in defence and had a decent international career (27 goals in 65 - many games in defence).
I think he played one, scored one and the got arrested and did one.
Now there is a thing in law where people are “innocent until proven guilty”
He got arrested. CCFC fired him and then....
He went to court and got off.
I still think that CCFC should have stood by him, told him to get out and play and put him on a big win and goal bonus whilst out on bail awaiting trial. (Remember, not found guilty then or later - he wasn’t Marlin King)
Good management might have been the key. I think a fired up 6’4 yardie-type with a point to prove would have terrorised any central defenders he came across.
“awful player”?
Now at a stockbrokerage in AusRemember Danny Ireland? Looked more of a male model than a footballer.
Seem to recall Mansouri was brought in to cover for Safri during the African Nations. He did so well he got picked for Algeria which sort of defeated the purpose of what he was brought in for. Think I'm right in saying he had given assurance when initially brought in that he had no interest in playing for Algeria. Subsequently we didn't extend his deal.I remember Yazid Mansouri. Wasn't that bad if I recall.
He had a brilliant goalscoring record with Rushden and Diamonds who I think won what is effectively League 2. I remember he scored at Crewe and looked a handful. Also recall in the same game he bent a free kick in from about 25 yards but can't remember if this was his goal or it got disallowed.Awful player he was lol

Orlando Smeekes
Kevin KeeganWas just sitting at work and thought: Remember when we took that winger called Orlando Smeekes on trial? A quick look at his Wikipedia page reveals that he retired in 2016, and also failed a trial at Charlton.
Brings me to the question in point, what other obscure failed trialists or signings can you remember?
I'm talking your Bouwe Bosmas, and Jack McBeans.
Dean Leacock
I really can't work this one outHere’s a test. In the early 90s of the Premiership we had a German central defender on trial from Eintracht Frankfurt. Anyone know his name?
The legend that is Bas Savage always deserves a mention. Once seen, never forgotten.
Just not on a football pitch with the ball at his feet.man could move
