Cheers.
I'd never heard of Tommy Lawton. So Stroller is the only player in our entire history, signed direct from the Chavs, who wasn't somewhere between meh and unmitigated megafück, then?
The odds of history I stacked against Willian.
Btw, re: Mhikky. Have we signed anyone from ManUtd that went well for us? They got RVP and Stapleton, we got Mhikky, Sylvestre, who else?
Can't believe you forgot Danny. There were also Jimmy Rimmer and Brian Kidd in the 70s. Technically Jim Leighton as well but he never played a game.
Viv Anderson was another one who went the other way - that hurt a lot at the time
Early part of the season it was Mickey Thomas mostly, though Winterburn played there as well (yes that famously non-right-footed player, he actually started the Littlewoods Cup final there). Dixon was signed in January/February, but was cup-tied. Played a few league games
