     Chopper is indeed mentioned in the Stan Bowles section. Before my time, did he have much of an impact?

   Tim, I fear you may have missed mentioning an early 70’s legend Stan, I still swear to this day, we thought we were buying Bowles from Carlisle, but ended up with Webb

     Again, before my time, but understand Stan Webb wasn’t quite the replacement for John O’Mara we were hoping for?

   What about Stewart Houston?

     Good shout Chris, but I was focusing on incoming rather than outgoing transfers. Stewart would certainly have been amongst the highest profile of departures.

   Alan Devonshire also played a few games at the end of his career and if Arry counts you have to mention Mersand Częsny

     Don’t think Devionshire actually pulled on a Bees shirt, but was seen more as one that got away seeing as where he grew up (see also Gordon Hill). Merson and Szczesny both went on to have great careers, but I’d argue weren’t high profile at the time we signed them.
