Our best 'very late' signing?

[Hereforthefootball]

Am sure we went through a phase of on the opening day announcing some new signings. Any spring to mind. Clark and Southern were pretty much announced on the opening day and turned out to be good signings.

[Recidivist3]

Stanley Matthews at 32

 

[Wizaard]

Wes. We were giddy anyway at Leicester for that first game back and when news spread around the concourse that he was in the team, it was bordering on hysteria

Dave Bamber, the afternoon of the Spurs game!

 

[Middxile]

[BFC_Aspie]

Ludo Sylvestre

 

[fcblackpool]

I agree with lots above, but I'd add Clause Jorgensen too.

 

[SeasideKurt]

We signed Jorgensen too didn't we? Wasn't a Wes signing but he turned out ok.

 

[20togo]

Has to be Wes.

 

[Hazi]

Has to be Wes we didn’t know till he was named in the starting line up

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Matt Phillips.
Bargain from Wycombe.

 

[Cable Cat]

Ironically our best late departure was Shaun Barker - was gutted when he left Blackpool when Ollie arrived days before the season started but that turned out well!

 

[Big_Flag_Man]

Was that the game someone went back for Wes's contact lenses.

 

[Tangerinenick]

Tony Ellis?
