Can anyone name a foxes player that in there career only made one single foxes appearance, either it was just on loan etc. Only in league and cups count. Friendlies are not included.

 

To start of with Michael Ball... no not the singer... I believe he only played one fixture for foxes which was in the league cup I think against Bury. Never featured again and was later sacked by the club for racist comment or something.

wrexham home 1978 kevin something , reed or farmer

Tommy Williamson had the shortest carrer one sub v spurs in the last game at FS in 2002 came on in the 89 minuite doubt he even touched the ball

I remember Williamson but apparently nearly the exact same thing happened in 1965 with a player named Malcolm Clarke (who also didn’t touch the ball)! I wonder if anyone that was following the team in those days can settle the question of which player had the shortest career

According to Of Fossils and Foxes Malcolm Clarke is "Dubiously distinguished by having had the shortest-ever first-team career with City." The piece about Clarke goes on to say that he came on as a sub in the 89th minute against Leeds United, and was reliably reported not to have touched the ball during the remainder of play. The date was 18 September 1965.

Robert Alleyne made his debut a couple of days before the 6-1 when he came on as a sub against West Ham at Upton Park on New Year's Day. I know that because I smashed by ankle the previous October, and the West Ham game was my first match after that: on crutches it was a hell of a struggle, and we were sh!te - we lost 4-1. Poor Alleyne looked like he was scared, and looked away every time City got the ball!

 

As I hobbled away from Upton Park, I swore I'd never go and see City again. But then we won the 6-1 against Wednesday and I decided to give them a chance in the FA Cup third round against QPR at Loftus Road. On their plastic pitch, we lost 5-2.

 

No fool like an old fool, as my son said as we came away from Plymouth on 12 April.

Aman Verma - league cup v Macclesfield 2010. Good guy occasionally bump into him. 

[Eurofox]

Danny Ward played loads of games but only turned up once

[Rain King]

Remember being excited when Sascha Lenhart made his debut as a sub for the concussed Jamie Lawrence. Never seen again.

 

Scott Eustace and Steve Holden from my early years supporting us.

 

 

[Devonfox1884]

Pearson’s son only played 1 cup game if I remember correctly.

[Filbert_Ross]

Zoumana Bakayogo. Started a cup game. Was dreadful and subbed off at half time.

Tete (Villa away) 

[urban fox]

Remember a chap by the name of bob mackay(?) back around 1969. Regular for the reserves, made his first team debut in 3 rd round of cup ,vs Burnley away I think. Got injured and that was end of his career. Lived next door to my grandparents on Coleman road
