Didnt't think Pinamonte was that bad. Is he being confused for Steve McCormick aka McLadder who was even worse?

Oh he was.
I still have nightmares in the way he played against Hull at Boothferry park Feb 2001.
It was the pass the bucket around game.
But agree McCormack was awful, didn’t he knock up a huge bar bill in the hotel we put him in?

Here's how we tell which one was which... did the ball end up barely reaching the line for a goal kick. If yes than that was Plasma TV's effort :lol:

Michael marks wins by a landslide. We paid milwall £30,000 for him which is probably over half a million today. He was absolutely useless and looked like he was trying to play football with a rugby ball.

The biggest mistake signing we've ever made was Paul Hague. Paid money for a terrible centre half when we had only 1 centre forward in the squad.

Honourable mention to David Martin. Who came in over the summer from Gillingham, played the first few games, should have been sent off in all of them, think he was only sent off in one, and was promptly shipped out.

Very harsh on Atangana.

Dossena and Mezague were not bad players, and had some decent games for Orient, but were odd signings which is why they are remembered in this way.

Hello Mr Gagliardi 👋
Atangana was awful. Couldn't pass & couldn't last 90 minutes 😂

Steve Hodges. For an Ex England international he was pants. Mind due, we have "retired" a few in that era. Butch, Shilts and Hodges.

Tim O’Shea.
Signed by Clark.
I remember see this bloke at a throw in and he deliberately hid behind a defender so he wouldn’t receive the ball.
I thought blimey you’re in the wrong job mate.
All this crap that was signed, did they not do any homework on these blokes.
