Striker. One of SGT's first signings. I think we gave Middlesbrough Poole or Kerr in exchange. never played a game and slunk out to Doncaster after a few months I think.

Najwan Ghrayib - cost £1m and played 5 games


EDIT - I see that he's already been mentioned. However, my search of the thread didn't turn him up because I'm the first to spell his name correctly  :)

Our stout scout at the time, Ross McLaren, eulogised over Najwan, some quote about him being the best left-back he'd seen. Tottenham pulled out of a move for him over worries about water on the knee. That synovial fluid issue perhaps prevented him playing more for us. Or maybe he was shite all along. Must admit I had high hopes for him. At the time Gregory was going all England XI on our asses. An Israeli with a dodgy knee seemed the very height of exotic intrigue.

I believe he always voted himself man of the match in training five a sides. Often before they began. I am sure more than one player denied  going easy on him to keep on his good side. They argued it was a case of getting out of his way before being injured by his size and clumsiness at that stage of his life.

Saw BFR score a tremendous headed goal for Oxford on a rare visit to our friends across the city. He probably weighs less now!
