Billy Mckinlay was the better of the two.

Also Billy McKinlay, a fine player

Dean Hammond is a very underrated free signing. 

 

He came on to help us see put games when we had a manager that understood the importance of game management.

Taggart. May be a bro of KP now but won league cup innit

Good side, but surely we've had a better free GK?

I was trawling through transfermarkt and it Weale or Schwarzer

I'd probably go for Pegguy Arphexad in goal. Underrated keeper who never let us down when subbing for Flowers.

 

Paul Cooper was free too (one for those of an older generation).

[Durnerz]

Billy McKinlay - even played for free too! 
 

I’d put Ben Thatcher in there too.

Just realised that we got Stan Collymore on a free. We'd have some forward line!

 

Weirdly should've cost us £500k but fee was structured on 25 and 50 league apps. Clearly we knew he'd never get near

I’d do anything to have a peak Lloyd Dyer play for us now.

 

Everyone and their dog knew what he was going to do yet he made it work so many times.

Same. Got us off our seats didn't he

Didn't we pay a fee for Hobbs??

Wasn't it an initial loan from Liverpool then a fee the next season? Really thought he'd go on and be a long serving player for us. Was great in that league 1 season.

[LCFC_JAY]

Ryan Bertrand?

Dion Dublin

Thought he was crap for us 

[enmac]

Well past his best and didn't stay long: Martin Keown .

[ian__marshall]

GTF got to be in the squad. Lovely footballer despite his weight.

He was aside from a great goal at Rotherham he scored (still one of the best I've seen live) and the winner at Charlton in the FA Cup. Didn't he go to Celtic after  

[Fox92]

Les Ferdinand has to be up there. If ever we had a free kick right on the edge of the area, he was taking it.

I think it was something to do with us being in administration possibly (2002-03 promotion season under Micky Adams), when Summerbee and McKinlay played for us that season for nowt! Rare at any time for players to do that, you hear of them training with teams but not actually getting game time!

There’s over £200m in transfer fees spent alone there. Just shows how poor our player trading became.

Isn’t this free transfers in anyway? It if was out we’d have a world class side.
