I would also add that I have generally good memories of experienced defenders coming in towards the end of their careers.......
Mark Bowen Chris Whyte (he did a great job for us) Jorge Costa Christian Dailly
Roger Johnson, Rhys Williams, Gary Doherty.
Wait.
Roger Johnson - attitude problem Doherty - slowest footballer ever Williams - wasn't remotely fit
Mad signings
Bonkers. The saddest thing about Doherty is he'd just had a brilliant season for Norwich in L1 where they won the league and I couldn't believe they'd let him go at the end of it. I was really excited to get him in and it turned out Norwich had seen that he was shot by the end of that season and that's why we were able to get him. A real let down that one.
Johnson did the job in his first spell but bringing him in a year after we'd decided he wasn't good enough having spent the last sixth months playing football in India was insane.
"Tyrone Mears is expected to face disciplinary action from Derby County after he flew out to Marseille for a trial against the wishes of his employers ......
The story gained a bizarre twist when it was also reported this morning that Mears had had to climb through a window and crawl past manager Paul Jewell's office at Derby's training ground to collect his boots before sneaking away to meet Marseille officials."

very accurate assessment .. I thought just the same at the time
How many games did he play for West Brom last season?
Not sure if you said this as a prompt to emphasize it's a low number ?
But 7 is the score on the doors for last season at WBA after spend 3 seasons in the USA and being away from his 4 children.
Darren Moore said Tyrone is a very fit lad who looks after his self. If Mears is in the last chance saloon at least it has a gym unlike Roger Johnson's which mainly had a selections of various lagers.

It's 13 years since Dowie tried to sign him. (Jeebus! How time flies!)
Wasn’t it Billy Davies who was after him to bring him with him from Preston when he was looking at taking over?
He may well have done, had he taken the job, but I remember it was Dowie who was on the hunt for a while. In the end it was WHU who got him. I doubt he would've gotten past Luke Young at the time anyhow, & from what my old fading memory recalls, he didn't really make an impact at Upton Park.

HE's 36 !!!!!!!1
says it is the article linked to the thread. Google it if you want to.
Birthday is February 18th 1983. Not 37 until late in the season.
good enough for me
Turns out his dad was in fact Sierra Leonean and he then asked for his cap to be rescinded by FIFA.
Absolute banter footballer.
As he is now coach at Oxford he is suffering from a grating noise in his ear when at work. It's not tinnitus but Robboitis !
