Our best over 30 signing

[Redlips]

Under Robbo we loved to sign an aging international.

For me, I loved Jimmy Floyd. An absolute winner, he made Downing a better player.

A captain without the armband.

A travesty we let him go.

Cardiff made the fa cup final with him in the team.

 

[AytonMews]

Was going to say the magic man… but just googled him and didn’t realise he was 29 when we signed him. Always assumed he was older!

Big Nige Pearson, Paul Ince,

 

[the_dormouse]

I always liked Andy Townsend.

 

[MoggasDog]

Bryan Robson

It all started from there

 

[MichaelDebeve]

Bonjour

 

[Unravel_Morrison]

Yakubu

Big Nige Pearson, Paul Ince,

Actually, scrap all this. It’s Alen Boksic

 

[Otto42]

Clayton Blackmore I also felt was underrated for us

 

[MichaelDebeve]

Honorable mention for the one and only Paul Okon under El Tel - he became a monster

I think he creeps into the 30+ category by then

 

[Beverleyred]

I appreciate he was only on loan, but I would like to give Shay Given a mention.
He kept us in so many games in his short spell with us.

Has to be Southgate. Only captain to lift a trophy for us. Great VFM signing

Was he over 30 when signing? If so, definitely him.

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

Andy Peake.

Bryan Robson stated Boksic was the best player he ever played with or managed.

Yeah. Born 1970 signed for us 2001

What does he know!

Still Micky.D for me.

 

[speckyget]

I always liked Andy Townsend.

Andy Townsend doesn't return the affection.

 

[London_Boro]

Andy Townsend doesn't return the affection.

I was going to say this. Shame he slagged us off at every given opportunity. tossbag.

Marco Branca must be worthy of s mention

 

[Kowalski]

Barry Robson was decent.
