had forgotten all about it until I saw him on TV Sunday.

Frank Mcavennie. I think he even got an assist in a game I went to at VP.

Oscar Arce

Didn't play in a first team match,although many think he did. Neither did his brother Hector who was the better player.

Alan Thompson(though I was overjoyed at 16 years of age when we signed him. Went to his home debut when he missed a penalty against Boro, but smashed in a free kick later on in that game..had a disappointing career at Villa)

Steve Watson
Steve Stone
Mustapha Hadji
Marcus Allback(though he really did help keep us up in 2003)
Rob Edwards(saw him almost score a wonderful chipped effort against Chelsea during Taylor's second reign)

Barry Lynch

For some reason and, maybe this is only just me but, Barry Lynch seemed to me to be a particular favourite of Tommy Doc he continued to pick him.  Lynch could best be described as a trier but should never have been anywhere near the first team, as bad as they were.

Chaps i think you may be getting confused with someone else here, Barry only played 3 times for us, his debut was in a game at Cardiff 0-3 Boxing day 1967 under Tommy Cummings then the following season under Docherty he played in the away game at Hull,last game of the season 0-1. Then his final game for us was an FA Cup 3rd replay at Charlton under Docherty shortly before he was sacked and replaced by Vic Crowe. At the time i had a special interest in Barry Lynch as he was a local to me coming from Northfield.

PGW, you are probably right I haven't checked, perhaps I'm confusing it with his appearances for the reserves, who, I spent a lot of time watching.  He wasn't good enough for them either.

He played quite a few games for us I guess? Seem to recall he was decent on the ball. Was he a Gregory signing?
