Players we were after and should have signed

Hindsight is a wonderful thing in 1970 we were in for Archie Gemmill but lost him to Derby in my opinion this was a big mistake and as things turned out as he could of made a big difference.
We were champions at the time but never won a trophy for another 14 years.

Who else were we seriously in for but slipped through the net?

 

[The Cowboy]

Michael Essien.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Scott Parker when we finished 4th.

Riquelme

Paul Ince, horrible person I know but he always speaks kindly of us. We were very close to signing him from Italy if my memory serves me right.
