I thought he looked decent enough before the injury, he's been awful since it though. His performance at Derby is one of the worst i've ever seen by a professional footballer and I saw Balaban. It's how I imagine George Weah's 'cousin' looked that time for Southampton.

how bad was Balaban for us?

he did play for Croatia and had a reasonable record at international level

I remember seeing him away at Southampton, just after they'd moved to the new ground (they had clapper thingys that night).

He got put through 1-on-1 and I just thought "go on Son, smash it in the net and you'll be off and running"

He didn't. And he never did.

Only 'performance' I remember was prior to the injury against Hull. He was shocking and it was embarrassing the way he threw himself to the ground looking for free kicks, a couple of Hull players actually laughed at one stage.

edit. talking about Kozak not Balaban

I can barely remember Balaban playing for us. Think he signed, played one or two games then vanished into legend.

I'll see your Balaban and raise you a Mathieu Berson

Balaban is probably one of the strangest signings in my time. Good record before and after us, utter gash for us. I saw every second he played for us either in person or live on tv and he was bad. My mate covered the reserves at the time and he said Balaban even looked out of his depth playing for the stiffs.

Well I imagine so because he did not wear the trousers in that house.

I actually saw one of the few games Unsworth played for us (friendlies that is) against Wycombe. I remember thinking at the time that he was going to be a very good signing. I may have been a tad wide of the mark...

He did, Brian. However his wife decided what colour.
