Didn't he head the ball across at Watford as well for someone else to score, can't remember who

You are absolutely right! It was Watford. But I think we'll all agree that other than that assist he was totally useless.

Remember a local lad in the early 90's think his name was Bowen, maybe Shaun?
Sure he played against Peterborough, may have even scored?

Think he made a few more appearances than that...he was around the same time as Carl Heggs - neither anywhere near good enough.

Roy Hunter did score a last minute winner in a 1-0 home win against Torquay (pretty much my earliest football memory!)

Turned up at my place (nothing to do with football or sport) for an interview a few years ago.

Mark Angel. He was mates with someone I knew. He came out with us on a night out in Brum once. He got absolutely p****d and tried in on with every female going to no avail.  :D A bit of a tool really.

I'm pretty sure Sunderland fans nicknamed him Chocolate Fireguard  ;D
Steve Bull is a merchant who specialises in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. He wears the headgear one would associate with this trade. He spent years in the first team of a Staffordshire-based club. And he is not a very nice man.

Uwe Rosler had about a month with us and scored a couple

Also Les Palmer had a game or two back in the early nineties (Mind you a lot of players came and went back then)

Iffy udeze, dumped out of the team when he caused a goal, Southampton or Portsmouth I think, by letting a player past him when he thought the ball had gone out.

Tony 'flicker' Rees! Yes, the famous master of the backheel! Remember him playing away at Notts County, think he was on the pitch for about 10 minutes, tried a few backheels then went off injured never to be seen again!
