    That's when he played. He'd get injured having a shave.

    Not sure I can agree on Wetherall. He was solid in our first prem season and the seasons after. When you look back aside from Man U who pumped us every time, we did ok defensively for a first time prem team. Not many stuffings really.
    Stayed far too long in the end but not sure that’s his fault more the managers not getting rid.

    Carbone??????????????? Loved the guy and not his fault he was signed on a ridiculous contract - fair play to him, he also helped the club out massively when we hit financial difficulties as a result of Richmond's madness.

    Absolutely spot on. Hands down, Rahic is (and hopefully never to be repeated again) the most expensive mistake this club will ever make. Given where we were both as a club, management and coaching staff, playing squad, culture and (dare I even say) business - he is the far and away leader.

    Rupps million’s are only being hailed due to financing the mess that part put us in. I gave up thinking where we could have been a long long time ago.

    Writing off the money and a cracking game against Chelsea were his major contributions.

    Hysterically overrated now, though, as it's all a bit rose tinted. Two special moments every season, that's how Wednesday fans remember him, and something like 8 goals for a centre forward we paired with a guy who scored even less I'm Ashley Ward.

    As with all mercurial, enigmatic talent he is considered utterly wonderful, and people pretend he was way above where we were in the Premier League - but he had a couple more chances at Derby and Boro and did nothing.

    A very good player, particularly technically, who was not consistent or dangerous and nothing like one of the best PL players at the time.

    He was a taste of Premier League cosmopolitanism, though, and we've had nothing like it since.

    I always got carried away with the big names, forgetting they were actually on their way down. Gillespie, Hendrie, Sharpe, Newell. Then there’s those with reputations up in Scotland, forgetting their top league is the same standard as our bottom. Petta, Juanjo plus everyone Jefferies signed.
