Scubby Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 A player going back often doesn't work so well. Sometimes it is at the end of his career or for others it is just returning to familiar surroundings. Are there many examples of players who were better in their return spell at a club? I'm trying to thing of examples... Perhaps Mark Aston who left Sheffield and returned to win the Lance Todd trophy? Any other examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's slower and less able to find a hole than he used to be. However he has so much nouse on the field and in the dressing room he's worth his weight in premium lager...... Might need to be supervised with the barmaid though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be good to see I cant think of any player who has played for a club 3 times and played their best 3rd time round. Can anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonka Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I’ll confess I’m really struggling to remember players who have returned to the same club, much less done better the second time. Can we just start listing players who have played for the club twice and go from there? I’ll do some notable Wigan ones: Leuluai The Tomki Denis Betts None better the second time round...
