........... or got our money back (or even got a fee)!

Should be a relatively short thread, given that we hardly ever make a profit on sales! I'm talking about the ones we bought that we never believed we'd even get our money back, let alone a profit. Also includes anyone you think we would never have got any money for.

I shall start with the cult hero himself - carl leaburn

    Leaburn was ours from day one. If we are talking youngsters subsequently sold for decent money then there are plenty. My namesake being just one of many.

    I initially read it as players we acquired from elsewhere and then subsequently made a profit or broke even.

    Yeah, I added the bit ' Also includes anyone you think we would never have got any money for' so that it could include the home grown players too.

    Another example of the home grown 'unbelieveables', IMO is darren pitcher

    Shaun Newton.

    I loved the bloke for his pace and directness, not forgetting the Ipswich play off goal and THAT penalyy, but he was a vampire, rather like our Lloydie these days.

    Scott Parker, Paul Konchesky, Darren Bent, Derek Hales, Mike Flanagan, Paul Elliott, Paul Walsh, Lee Bowyer, Robert Lee.

    It's actually a pretty long list if you include home grown players.

    Talking of Leburn I met him in the club shop on monday. He is a brick sh 1t house now. Very nice guy signed my little nephews football for Christmas. Would be good to have him up front for us today, he was a very underated player with a very good footballing brain.

    He would not last 10 minutes with the current crowd giving him pelters for not scoring every other game

    He is at most games - I followed him to the ground the other week after seeing him get out of his G reg Sierra (???)

    Couldn't keep up with him walking though - his stride is like a yeti

    John Humphrey - bought from Wolves for £60,000 sold to Palace for £400,000 then resigned a few years later along with Paul Mortimer in exchange for Darren Pitcher + cash. Might be wrong about the last bit. Memory not what it was.

    Can't believe we got anything for Djimi Traore. Not a profit, but anything at all was good business!
