Trialists


Recommended Posts

We've had a number of the years, list your favourites here (and any comments on how they were)

 

I'll get the ball rolling...

 

Piotr Włodarczyk - Hat trick v Broch (signed Lovell instead)

 

Rohan Ricketts - mental case

 

Lee Hendrie - another mental case

 

Arafath Heuvel - saw him play v Buckie in the days we thought signing amateurs was the way forward under the fat orange one! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aberdeen/6259690.stm

 

Was Etienne Verveer a trialist or was he signed?

Who was they guy who I think scored against Brechin in the cup a couple of seasons back and Auld Broon described him as "World Class" yet the only other pictures I can remember was of him watching games in an executive box looking like Snoop Dog

Mo Chalali against Forfar your thinking of I think.

Mind watching herman hreidersson play for the reserves twice, when I was pretty young and thought he was brilliant. Deemed not good enough for a contract, then went on to become successful elsewhere.

Lies. My da spoke to the man himself out in Glasgow after an international. He said we offered "child's wages".

Folly was a decent midfielder before he done his leg (although we have better now), and his illness was discovered.

 

Did Michael O'Neill not play on trial for us while he was with Coventry? Seem to remember him getting one game and folk getting excited at the prospect of him signing.

Also seem to remember David Rocastle being with us on trial, don't know if he played or not.

There as a boy from Chelsea under ebbe, Nicholls was his surname, was with us for ages also if I recall correctly there was a French guy think his name was Franck arnoux, was with us for around d two months one winter, and due to adverse weather never played a game,

 

The hriedderson one galls, old purple hair said he was no better than what we had Inglis, koumbuare, Smith were all at pittodrie at the time,

 

Good old niclas fabiano, ebbes " great white hope" was he not at the famous French bleomfontaine academy alongside cisse, anelka, vignal, trezeguet, and co so where the fuck was he when football lessons were underway.

 

And finally I read in the p and j once that throughout burkinshaw stay at pittodrie we had between 25 and 30 triallists, that he recommended, the only one we signed was guntviet
