Alan Hutton the Scottish Cafu Retires

[DeeBoy1]

Who was the last outfield player that wasn't signed as a youth player to spend 8 years with us?

Great question

[Risso]

Steve Staunton over two periods.

[SoccerHQ]

Thought Lord McGrath. Signed in late 80s and was here until early 97 I think when he went to Derby.

One period only, my game my rules. And it still wouldn't be him anyway.

[Risso]

Alan Wright

Mark Delaney?

[PeterWithesShin]

7 years 11 months. He was one of my wrong thoughts. And i'm being strict on him as it was bought in Feb sold in Jan so he wasn't here for 8 full seasons.

And I know if you include bomb squad and loans etc Hutton wasn't but my game my rules!!

[Risso]

Or Ian Taylor.  Both he and Wight left in 2003.  Taylor was with us for longer, but Wright did 8 years as well.

[PeterWithesShin]

Bollocks I forgot about Delaney, probably as he was injured so much, so yes it's him.

Ian Taylor I reckon

[PeterWithesShin]

7 years 11 months isn't 8 years is it

I had it as Taylor until we had Delaney. My other wrong first thought was Ollie but he was here 7.

Allan Evans?

Edit: fuck me, you lot managed a good chat in the time it took me to get through the front door and refresh my phone!

I assumed your 7 years, 11 months post was a reply to me! So I win...?? Sweet 😊

[PeterWithesShin]

No it was about Wright. So yep, good job you did as well otherwise poor old Mark would have been forgotten!

You need to check your workings.  Wright's last game for us was on 22 March 2003.
