[Football] Albion’s quickest write off

[Soton Seagull]

Joe Gatting.

Talented all round sportsman but not good enough to be pro at any.

 

[Poskettspurpose]

Stephen Dobbie? So bad in fact we sold him to Palace as I remember?

 

[jcdenton08]

Michael Mahoney-Johnson. The club wrote him off after 45

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Graham Smith. Goalie from Rangers.

David Gonzalez got written off pretty damn quick too.

I remember thinking Fenelon was shit after about 10 minutes.

Personally I think the greatest first 20 minutes of football for all that witnessed it, was the 20 minutes of Toko we got at Burton away, I genuinely think he should have been sent off 5 times in that period. Very very very entertaining, but my god was he crap, never to be seen again.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

My memory is going here but ...

The centre back who got subbed off at half time at Brentford having cost us 2 first half goals. Probably about 25 years ago. Was never seen again

 

[The Mole]

Graham Smith. Goalie from Rangers.

Managed to get a yellow card before he touched a ball - sort not quite correct - before the ball was in play

Sounds like Glen Thomas.

 

[GJN1]

I could tell from the way he signed his contract that Yoon Doyoung simply isn't up to this level of football.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Sounds like Glen Thomas.

Yeh. Surely he was the quickest wrote off, both by fans and club

 

[HangletonGull]

Andy Kennedy.

Was very excited until he started playing football.

So many stories, being 9 years of age, and my brother being very good mates with him, meeting for lunch going round his house giving me his shirt

Was very excited until he started playing football.

When did he start?

In the interests of fairness, there must be some who were absolutely derided but went on to be well-respected players. John Crumplin springs to mind.

Kuipers, famously.

Yes, good shout. Peter Smith looked terrifying (and not in a good way) the first time I saw him yet went on to be a well loved Albion player.

Absolutely awful

 

[Is it PotG?]

100% was Elvis Manu. I remember at Wolves his first touch was to try an overhead kick or similar and see the ball smack him straight in the fizzer.

Job done.

 

[Mellotron]

I appreciate this is the opposite of the point of this thread, but the streets will never forget Abdul Razak vs Ipswich.

I was CERTAIN he'd win the Ballon D'Or within 5 years (well, be nominated anyway...).

He looked PHENOMENAL.

Dan Burn?

I feel privileged to have been one of approximately 300-400 Albion fans see Toko actually play competitive minutes.

Back to the original question: Wasn’t Kuipers subbed off at halftime on his debut? Any player getting hooked after only 45 mins isn’t great, but a keeper has to be having a mare.
