Kingsley Black - Nottingham Forest & Northern Ireland midfielder.  Below is a picture of Kingsley and Scott Gemmill(Kingsley is on the right) holding the now much missed Zenith Data Systems Cup(initially called the Full Members Cup, it kept English teams in the top two divisions occupied between 1985 and 1992 while they were banned from European competition).

The Zenith-sponsored version was won by Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.

PMSL at that one Rich, I remember we used to call him "Sid The Sexist" ala Viz Comic. 
Priceless....He made that Number 3 shirt his own....

If you are watching Silvio....Apologies to you Mate. I forgot about Senor Sid.

Brian Pinas - Newcastle United

Can't find a picture of this guy in a Newcastle shirt, only played a handful of games for the club.  On his arrival at Newcastle in 1998, Pinas was ridiculed by The Sun newspaper with regards to his surname's closeness to pen!s.  The editorial joked that if Pinas was ever addressed by a referee, it would be the first time that a referee had been sent off for using foul language.

Top quality journalism there from the nation's favourite paper!

do you get to many games emilyegg?

Sky_Rich

another one for you.

Neil Shaka Hislop

certainly not a flop in my eyes, in fact probably my favourite ever Newcastle goalie (mainly due to the fact that i had lunch with him in the Maiden Castle training ground canteen when i was 12)

emilyegg

Out of personal memory/anguish, gonna put together a Newcastle Team of Flops that on reflection could make Grown Men Laugh AND Cry. Out of Interest Will check the transfer Fees later........

KEEPER- Dave Beasant. Bought on the strength of Wimbledons Cup Win.

RB - Warren Barton. Heaps of Desire, Couldn`t defend a Toilet Door though.
CB - Sid the Sexist. See previous. Cost us about £500k a game.
CB - Laurent Charvet. Liked to play Football out of Defence. Regularly showed us it was a Bad Idea to do so.
LB - Allesandro Pistone. Had the Fight of a Lion. Sadly, one that was asleep.

RM - Georgios Georgiadis (think thats his name) Drifted in but Mostly out of Games.
CM - Hugo Viana. Looked like a Football Player. Had the force of a Bag of Skips.
LM - Silvio Maric. Sorry Sir Bobby.

STR - Andreas Anderson. A lasting memory was when he missed an open goal, by falling over a yard out.
STR - Duncan Ferguson. Big Presence, Chocolate Ankles.
STR - Jon Dahl Tommason. Should have been good for 30 goals. Was good for about 30 Minutes.

Pick the bones out of that lot Rich....LOL
