Gary Borrowdale

Sold to Coventry for £650k !!

Old, Ungifted and White

If only his ability matched his ego

real shame.

I remember will antwi and david hunt in the early 00s broke into the first team and then were relased. Mid 00s to late 00s along with cadogan and djilali i remember james comley, ashley paul robinson and ben kudjodi playing before being released. Lewwis spence james dayton and ryan hall ring a bell.

Half and half. He came as a youngster from Ireland, but he was still youth team age. Always looked a prospect to me in the youth and reserve teams but never quite made it and I believe had a career in the Irish League in the end. His "other half" from the same generation and also from Ireland was Brian Launders and he was supposed to be a real prospect; very much the next big thing. But he didn't make it either and his career petered out with stints in the lower divisions (and abroad, if I remember right.) Bjorn Enquist was another from that period of time generally; I think he was the Swedish youth team captain and a big coup when he came to us as a youth player. Lovely technique but in my view a bit too lightweight (didn't physically develop) to make it in the end. I think he ended up having a career in the Allsvenskan, back home.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

This chap 😀

On a more respectful note, I think that Lance Cronin was highly rated when we punched him from Brighton. Now plays for Whitehaek who I have a soft spot for

Shame that Alex Wynter didn't make it with us
