That was my point ... there was no-one left at the club who saw him on loan here, apart from the fans of course.
One I found particularly galling, years ago, was Mark Stimson. Jim Smith brought him here on loan and he was rubbish. Wasn't even picked for his last game. Come the summer Jim signed him on a contract. He was no better.
We've had a few loans of terrible players that have left me thinking 'at least we're not stuck with them', particularly in the good old days of month loans.
Then we go and sign them...
Whitbread
Dickinson (Carl, not Jimmy).
Was Adrian Whitbread really that bad? Was he worse than Carl Tiler? I didn’t get to watch much Pompey back then but everyone seems to say Carl Tiler was pretty terrible so I thought I would ask for a comparison. I do remember how much we struggled when Fenwick was manager and Whitbread was playing then so he probably was pretty bad but he was in the team that beat Leeds at Elland Road in the FA Cup back in 97. I had a copy of that match on VHS sent to me in the post after we won that one. Matty Svensson scored the winner, great result
