Yeah just checked, He scored in a 3-0 win against FC Zurich. Allback scored a superb volley in off the under side of the cross bar in the same game.While were on the subject of players that hardly featured, I remember getting excited about us signing Fabio Ferrarasi because he had an exotic sounding name. I dont think he started a single competetive game for us.

He's probably a victim our us being very poor at taking talented 17-18 year olds and making top professionals out of them.The other youngster I remember hearing big things about was the Finnish forward we signed, Aaritalo. Was touted as a future super star but just never broke through. He was fucking brilliant on football manager for a year or 2 though.
Bowery is the worst I can remember. Very poor.
Najwan Ghrayib, fucking hell. There is a blast from the past. Apparantly highly rated when we signed him, we beat Spurs to his signature but they were shite at the time.

I remember around the same time WBA signed Enzo Maresca and he did very well in his career at likes of Sevilla.
There's a very reliable story that says we thought we were signing Maresca when we bought Ferraresi.
Graham Fenton weren’t great
