Steve Foster. Terrible player. Terrible signing.Others have mentioned Tommy Craig. The problem with him was that we bought him a couple of years too late when his best days were behind him, and the extent to which they were behind him became too suddenly obvious, as he could barely break into a trot.

A Charlie Adam type for the youngsters on here.Steve Foster was indeed a disastrous signing. He was a legend at Brighton and played for England but had the turning ability of a cruise ship.
Adrian Heath , inchy ??
Shay Given was a strange one. Very good keeper in his day but I think he was 36 when we signed him. We paid a lot of money for him and gave him a ridiculously long contract. A typical signing of that era...
