All Time Loan XI

[Radders]

I seem to remember Chris Casper was very good, but no-one has included him. When he was here with Clements (from Chelsea?), we suddenly looked alright at the back again.

What kind of f*cking geek keeps a bloody spreadsheet of 'temporary transfers'?'

Cheers Floyd - but don't worry, I don't keep a separate spreadsheet for these things. It was merely the easiest way to present the data from an MSAccess database. If I wanted to have been sad I could have added all their apps and goals by competition, but then you really would start to have conerns for my sanity!! Actually I might just do a top 20 list by starts, and goals. Anyone remotely interested?

[Wycombe Royal]

Anyone remotely interested?

Only if it also includes minutes on the pitch, goals per minute, shots on target, shots off target, assists, penalties won, yellow and red cards, fouls committed per game and what colour their hair was........

I'd forgotten that he'd originally arrived on loan actually. Upson is a given and I guess a lot of people of opted for Williams because of the rest of his Reading career as much as his time on loa.

Casper was very good though and would be worthy of at least a mention alongside those two.

Patrick Kelly - Quite possibly the worst loanee ever!! Had forgotten about him but he was right up there with Michael O'Neill in the awful stakes...

[Silver Fox]

Steve Morrow! Massively average for us wasn't he, but how proud I was when he scored a winner in the 92/93 League Cup final for Arsenal back in the day where even the most obtuse RFC-reference on national television was something to be trumpeted.

Massive 'greed, I've never been so concerned for an Arsenal player who had lost consciousness having been dropped on his head by one of his teammates

Alan Maybury! Sent off vs Man City and single-handedly responsible for those play-offs going off the radar. We were at least 2-0 down at the time in actual fact Alan, but history will not remember you well.

Never a sending off either, Dickov you cheating pcunt

[Terminal Boardom]

I had forgotten Tony Witter. He played for 30 minutes in our only home defeat of the 93/4 season against Wrexham with a broken leg

A long haired Barry Hunter got the goal IIRC

Why do you say that about Kelly?

Was excellent at Ipswhich on his debut and I can't remember him being bad in his other two games. Was injured most of his time with us though wasn't he? Is that what you meant?

I want to see the forwards - we must have had some better than those on offer so far.

[Ian Royal]

Hahnemann
Griffin
Upson
Khizanishvili
Bertrand
Little
Watson
Newman
Salako
Kitson
Owusu

Only going with players since '95 so I should've seen them all. A second decent striker is made pretty difficult because of that. Good selection to choose from at keeper, winger and in defence

- So, Steve how did you get that injury?
-I feel off a donkey.
