I thought there was a good player in there somewhere.



Turns out I was wrong. He was like a poor man’s Carlton Palmer. Which is no great accolade

Caolan Boyd-Munce.. I thought he was gonna be the player that Riley McGree is now.

Such a canny lad tho.. really wanted him to make it!!

 

[AytonMews]

Caolan Boyd-Munce

I think he was our first stab at “the project”. No wonder we sacked it off for the next few years

 

[futureboy]

You could probably make a whole team of academy products who played once or twice, then were never seen again:

Bilal Brahimi
Nathan McGinley
Harry Chapman
George Miller
Bryn Morris
Jordan Jones (who I think went to prison??)
Sam Folarin
William Kokolo
Jack Robinson
John Johnson

 

[Granville Bennett]

Judging by RedcarRed’s surprise/incredulity earlier on in the thread, I’m surmising that he has conflated Gustavo Lombardi and Attilio Lombardo.

 

[Fr Austin Purcell]

Enes Mahmutović
Sam McQueen

Zucolini and Lombardi are good shouts

I remember getting excited about Lombardi at the time, when South American signings were still a bit of a novelty in the game

Don't think Lombardi kicked a ball for us though did he?

So like Ricardinho (and Arturo Berhardt ), he doesn't count.

Viv Anderson.

Certainly not an obscure player but one you only associate with being a coach. Played against Arsenal I seem to remember? Also Bryan Robson’s last pro game.
Also may have played 1 or 2 Anglo Italian games? Could be wrong.

Started against WBA and Barnsley away in 94/95 according to Boro Bible and was named as a sub wolves away and derby at home.

The WBA appearance has a 'd' next to it but i cant see what that represents?

 

[ZoloBenden27]

Carlos De Pena!

 

[Davey_C]

Boro's no. 26 in our 1st season at the Riverside



Keith O'Halloran

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Chris Bennion - but admittedly it was in the League Cup. Craig Dove too

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Micky Barron


Edit just seen Scrug already put him on

 

[EuropeTwice]

Diego Fabbrini

 

[adammarc_98]

You know the type of player the one where you mention their name in the pub and some one says… what they played for us???

So only condition is they must have played a senior game for us pref in the league if poss.

Pref from riverside era so as not to get too obscure and long winded.

I remember the Barnsley away game, absolutely torrential rain in an uncovered terrace. We bought ponchos outside the ground, which were bin bags with holes cut in, for a pound.
Anyway Viv was the best player on the pitch.

Cracking team, but I don't think Knight ever played for the first team... did he?
