Mustafa Teriyaki and the late Michael Thalassitis were both signed on loan on Saturday mornings
Courtney Herbert also appeared out of nowhere at Altrincham, came on, got sent off and never seen again.
There’s one great story that we apparently signed a loanee on recommendation without watching him or seeing him play, so when a player of another side with the same name got on the wrong coach at the services nobody realised until we arrived at the ground.
Best bit? The player we signed was black. This lad wasn’t.

I was mildly surprised to see Wes on the bench for the away game at Tranmere on 5th April 2021 as it was played one day before a Tuesday.
EDIT: Did Wes never play a Tuesday or is that just some urban myth my mind has created?

EDIT: Did Wes never play a Tuesday or is that just some urban myth my mind has created? He played a few. 5 in total in fact. But most of them were at the beginning of his first season before we worked out the best way to manage him.

Oh yeah good one.
And Smith for the soul-replenishing one, but that was less of a last-minute surprise.

Not sure anyone mentioned Adam Bartlett playing in goal in the Torquay soul destroying nightmare fixture... Kentish He was probably the hottest goalie in the league at the time, wasn't he? I remember being just as surprised/concerned at how old the squad was and who was left out of it having played such important roles to get us there.

Pretty sure there were a few eyebrows raised that we were allowed to bring Bartlett in at very short notice - almost a mercenary signing, when we had another keeper (Grundy?) signed on to the first team squad and available.
