Mark Beesley in 2008. He'd just signed, but wasn't as good as we thought he was. No no, you don't understand. He's just so much more of a thinker than everyone else on the pitch that he's wasted. Dunno how long I believed that one, but it was definitely too long! He had a brief purple patch playing up front with Lee Boylan (I think) meaning we had two short players up front, were forced to play on the ground and looked great for a bit.

Didn't Scott Garner appear in a game at the Abbey after being frozen out. This rang a bell but Soccerbase suggests all 5 appearances were August 2012. Why was he BOMBED out again?

I think he fell out with Jez didn't he? The club said he was moved on for financial reasons, but the rumour was Garner had an attitude problem & liked a night out, then STOOD UP TO JEZ in the dressing room when he got called on it and Jez DIDN'T LIKE IT so BOMBED HIM OUT. I'm sure someone like Vess will remember. EDIT: Answers probably somewhere in here: cambridgeunitedfc.proboards.com/thread/5143/scott-garner

Matty Clements picked because he was fast. Unfortunately he couldn’t play football. George Measures a decorator, who also couldn’t play football. I think signing apparent non-footballers has happened often enough that it can't keep being a surprise.

EDIT: Answers probably somewhere in here: cambridgeunitedfc.proboards.com/thread/5143/scott-garnerWas a few of those Willmott, Jennings & Moke All about going on a team night out & everyone threw the same 4 players under the bus (accidentally they all just said a name and it happened to be the same players that were blamed) Jez lost his rag and the 4 were bombed out (I think JJ may have hung on a bit longer)

Armand One was thrown into the deep end by Beck bringing him off the bench away at a previous hammering by Pish. In the week leading up to the game, he said One was weeks away from making the team as he was so young and raw.

Probably the biggest contribution he made in a United shirt, etc etc.
