djchapsticks Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Jens Paeslack. Showed up around April 2000 when we were on route to winning the first division and in his 5 months with St Mirren: Came off the bench against Airdrie and wiped half the stand out with a mental shot that had us thinking he'd be a superstar Broke his foot in his second game against Falkirk and played on last 15 minutes through it like an absolute hero Signed a new deal and proved he couldn't kick his own arse. Scoring only one goal, against Rangers as well. Developed a habit of shaving his pubes in the team shower Took a plaster cast of his cock and was very Liberal in showing it to the rest of the bemused squad Got caught red-handed dipping player's bags and taking watches by Tommy Turner who got him by the throat and told him in no uncertain terms that his time at the club was over. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Just to add to the Dolly Menga posts...he did an interview when he joined us and said he was looking forward to "bringing great sex to Livingston" It turns out he meant great success but everything Dolly did, added to the "banter player" tag. I actually played Fifa against him one night, he played football just like he played Fifa Edited March 3, 2023 by Cptn Hooch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Mauricio Pinilla. 2 years at Hearts, played about 8 games. Was on a fortune, spent most of his time at the Casino and went on loan back to Chile where he shattered his wrist in a bollock naked hotel room fight with the Chile captain who had orchestrated a sting operation to catch him pickling his Mrs. Genuinely brilliant player who was nuts. Left us to join Vasco De Gama and played at the 2014 World cup where he hit the bar against Brazil and got a tattoo of the moment on his back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was when he wasn’t playing for us that most of his banter went on. I’d be pleasantly surprised if O’Connor could spell his actual name correctly, never mind a false one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Ian Ferguson was somewhat mental, was he not? I have a vague (not sure if false) memory of him brutally halfing a player at EEP when he played for Dunfermline. One of those (revenge?) two-footed sliding tackles where he didn't even bother waiting for the ref and just walked straight towards the changing rooms. Any Pars fans remember this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Callum Davidson is a banter manager. Has a truly remarkable first season then is absolutely shite. Rarely wins at home and has some amazing losing records. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorie Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Ben Thornley came in with a big reputation scored in his debut. Started a few more games before appearing Centre fold in the green final only then to be told he was overweight by the manager and pretty much spent rest of his time warming the bench. Allegedly had a threesome where a fellow player was involved. Also witnessed him bin of a lot of kids waiting for his autograph near the players lounge by telling them to get out his way I need a drink leaving Dadi pick the pieces up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) The two years of the Bonetti era. Every single week there would be another random Italian or Argentinian free agent signing that nobody had ever heard of in the squad. Some of them turned out to be braw players, more often than not they'd get 45-90 minutes on the pitch, look nothing like a professional footballer whatsoever, then disappear again, only for some other chancer to repeat the same thing a week or two later. Lucas Gatti, the first player I can remember at Dens wearing white boots, rightfully met with complete bewilderment from the auld yins in the main stand. His wiki still lists him as a 'retired professional footballer', but I reckon that must be his maw editing it. There were countless others, but it was such a frequent, fleeting event I have forgotten most of the names. One wee memory of that era, and entire believable, is seemingly Dario Bonetti used to insist on participating in every single training match and would routinely attempt to cripple any player that came near him with or without the ball.

tamthebam Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Tam "the original bam" Nolan Joined Edinburgh City from a top amateur side who'd got into a bit of soapy bubble. He had talent but was a f*cking looney. On a pre-season friendly took the fire extinguisher out of Bankfoot's changing room and used in to soak the club secretary Missed the team bus back from Kelso as he thought he was on a promise. Took a taxi with his team mate "Basher" and arrived back at the pub we used to use after match. Tried to escape out the pub's bog window which was 20 feet up and one of the committee had to pay off a bemused taxi driver Played against Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup. Sammy the Tammy was trying to wind up the City fans pre-match so Tam, warming up, aimed a ball at Sammy's arse and nearly knocked him over Cowdenbeath took a risk on him. Arrived back after 6 months less fit than he'd been at City. He was also in the Marmion pub when a gang feud lead to a shooting. Some boi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall that but I do recall when we played Celtic at East End one time he smashed the ball in to the Celtic fans in the NE stand. He claimed he was trying to pass it and hit a bobble on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Tony Cascarino. Pretty shite in his six months at Celtic, a big money signing who has supposed to be Celtic's answer to Mark Hately. In and out the team for the first month or so due to a combination of injuries and, generally being clumsy, slow and pretty shite. Took about ten games to get his first goal for Celtic, coming off the bench to score an open goal against Hearts at Celtic Park which he very nearly missed, a couple of minutes later he chinned Craig Levein at a corner with a right hook that was much more accurate than his shooting then, a straight red card in an eventful five minute cameo off the bench. Incredibly and hilariously managed to score a late equaliser at Ibrox a few weeks later, latching on to a dreadful passback by Nigel Spackman. His swansong in the hoops came at Airdrie in November, on a day he actually scored a cracking goal with a turn swivel then shot type finish, he made his final, and probably most noticeable impact in a Celtic shirt on an unfortunate police woman, chasing an overhit pass his momentum carried him off the touchline, absolutely smashing into the WPC and slamming her against the perimeter wall at the front of the terrace at Broomfield, she suffered a serious back injury, having to retire from the force whim she sued successfully for compensation of, I seem to recall a six figure sum. Chelsea, quite laughably agreed to swap Tom Boyd for him and he went on to have an equally poor spell at Stamford Bridge before a successful Indian summer type spell at Marseilles of all clubs late in his career. Cracking lad by all accounts who speaks fondly of the club and its fans, admitting he wasn't really up to it in his brief spell at Celtic Park, few would argue with that, he was pretty fucking dreadful it has to be said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
