The real fortgettables from that season - easy to do as we actually used 35 players in the League:
Polish Pete - 3 minutes of football
Jordan Cook - 1 start & 2 sub appearances in the League
Mark Gower - 6 starts & 1 sub appearance
Loic Nego - 90 minutes of football (wonder what happened to him!)
Churchinho - not so much his 38 appearances but his 3 Championship goals that season
Jonathan Obika - 3 starts & 9 sub appearances (oh and no goals - he is a forward!)
Davide Petrucci - 5 sub appearances
Nick Pope & Dillon Phillips - easy to forget them that season because they didn't play a minute between them (to be fair they were 21 & 18 respectively)
Marcus Tudgay - 56 minutes of League football and the full 90 in that awful affair away to Sheffield United in the FA Cup
Yohann Thuram-Ulien - if only we could forget his 4 appearances!

Dervite! That's a blast from the past - I thought he was qualitykillerandflash said:A decent player for us, we had good options at the back that season with Morrison, Wood and Dervite, it was up front where we struggled to score goals (Sordell and Church...)
I would say Dervite and Bauer are the two best centre backs we have had in the last 10 years.

LMAO this bump had me confused.3

you're not alone .. I mentioned him months ago to a bloke who goes to virtually every game, home and away, he didn't know the name either .. he played 21 games for us 10 years ago when he was a comparative babe in arms.AFKABartram said:i don’t remember him playing for us!
I posted about him before the start of the season in the comments about Morrison and the possibility of signing an 'aging' central defender .. you never know what y'got til it's gone1 -
Those who don't remember him definitely spent most their time having a beer at "half time" or down the Oak!0

Colleague of mine used to live near him up here (West Yorkshire) and said he’s a lovely bloke, coaches the local kid’s football club too. Solid career.JohnnyH2 said:1 -
Wow. Fantastic words from him. As “limited” as he was he was also committed and that’s got to be one of the finest retirement announcements I’ve read.JohnnyH2 said:Good luck to him10 -
Seriously impressive hanging up your boots note.
Sometimes you forget what it means to so many footballers.
He should be very proud of his achievements and career not hanging up his boots until almost 40.
i just hope not to read a similar note from Pratley after Wembley!!6 -
What a fantastic servant to the game. Not quite in the realms of the 915 appearances at one club by Dean Lewington but hugely impressive nevertheless.0

Indeed and I clearly failed in being ironic when I said that. So many players were forced upon SCP that it was probably difficult for him to see the wood from the trees even and in any event, despite playing almost 50 games for France's age group teams, Nego just wasn't ready for Championship level football. It would take him six years of playing in the Hungarian league for him to gain international recognition with his new homeland.AddicksAddict said:

I always liked him. I hadn't realised that he had a major injury which prevented him playing for England Under 21's in his Wednesday days.
An excellent interview which only briefly mentions us in the context of needing to be away from his family who were then based in the midlands.
Sounds like a top man.

667 games is a fantastic achievement.

Saw Pratley on Thursday and he reckons he might be back for Wembley. Although him getting a hot dog at HT suggests not!Rob7Lee said:Seriously impressive hanging up your boots note.

It'll be an interesting occasion for Pratley at Wembley, whether he plays or not.1 -
He was wandering around unchaperoned pitch side/by dugouts. Thought it a bit odd... but fair dokillerandflash said:

A bit odd that, considering he's playing for the opponents at Wembley! Was he there to do some scouting for Orient?Siv_in_Norfolk said:
