No, my nan was much faster.

I remember years ago we signed Adrian Shelford and he didnt play many games but came with a massive reputation (NZ international),Think we had him on loan,He was absolutly useless,I was only young but still can picture him in the games.

Remember him quite well but we only had him for a small portion of one season probably 1990ish. I didn't rate him at all but as EB says he did have a massive reputation so he must have been a good player at some point.

Tragically died quite young (of a heart attack I think)

He wasn't fit, mate. He'd been injured a long time and part of the reason for us getting a good deal is that Wakefield wanted to see how he went.

Another of our late players is a good candidate too. Not many will remember him - "Dallas" Donnelly. Played about half a game for us in 1985. Came highly recommended - ex-Test player for Australia, played with the Magpies for many years, but just too long in the tooth. Also, he wanted a boat-load of money in expenses as he was living in Southend at the time. He was found dead in the surf in Australia. Apparently had a heart attack whilst out for a run.

I know it's a long time ago, but does anyone remember John Blazey? He was an Aussie we had for about a season and my abiding memory of him was one night we were going to an away game (possibly Swinton) on a coach. He was absolutely paralytic and his antics, whilst being amusing at first, quickly became annoying. He wasn't playing that night (obviously) but I don't remember him being a world beater.

He only played a few games, Marty. He wasn't the worst but he was no star.

perhaps not the worst but never rated any of these

1 sean willey 2 zac hill 3 pat rich 4 brad hayes 5 jon breckingbury
6 peter moore 7 john blazey 8 damien lynch (worst ever- pub player)
9 mick hill 10 fred texido 11 joesph pitt 12 joe chapman 13 aled james
14 venders afflick (because i dont know who he was)
15 adam carroll 16 richard singleton
17 james morrow who ran lee trasler close for last spot

Jon Breakingbury was rubbish.

I liked James Morrow, very underrated

I've only been watching the eagles since 2002, but Zac Hill definately gets my vote.
