Gary Penrice. I only saw him play twice, but I honestly thought he was a talented player.

Seeing as no one seems to have a good word for him I can only assume that he was pretty pathetic in the remaining 18 games he played for us.

Milan Baros.

People seem to forget that we probably would've gone down in the 2005/06 season if it weren't for his goals. A potentially good player for Villa; shame he was in a bad squad really.

De La Cruz. Underrated.

Alpay as well.

I always liked Gavin McCann. At the time, I thought he was great. At the time.

I always liked Baros purely on the basis that he was our most talented player by some distance at that time and, like you say, we'd have been in real trouble if it wasn't for him. Shame he had such an appalling attitude.

De la Cruz is a good shout, Alpay was a tool IMO.

I think the thing with Alpay was that pretty much everyone did like him before he came back from the World cup with an over-inflated ego. It was great pre-match when he'd let the chants of his name reach a crescendo before he acknowledged them by saluting the Holte rather than just half-turning in applause. But surely no-one liked him when he later insulted our club and generally acted like a spoilt, arrogant wanker.

Collymore.
I was desperate to sign him and when we did I was over the moon.
Even when he went off his rocker, I still backed him, hoping he would decide to come good and turn into the player he should have been.
