As requested by Notty, this should be a very long list.
Quite a lot of young players who were supposed to be great/kick on, perhaps? I remember hearing lots about Gary King, Conner Robinson, Ollie Ryan, Nathan Adams and Andy Hutchinson for example, and being told they were being looked at by other clubs etc. Conner must have had the most run but he never really got any better.
Mustapha Carayol, first handful of times I saw him I thought he could be anything he wanted to be...
Joe Allon - although probably would have helped if he wasn’t pissed all the time.
Quite a few looked very decent on loan then turned out to be total carp when signed
Jae Martin as already mentioned
Sam Delano-Yorke

Think he has a few injuries etc. He did go upwards after us to be fair...
Plus we've had several who were way beyond their best when they came to us for a last pay packet but were players who you had heard of at their peak
Gary Bannister
Gary Megson
Kingsley Black
Ian Hamilton
The aforementioned Bob Latchford
Bruce GrobbelarAdd:
David Phillips
Jim McCalliog
Steve Foley
Trevor Hebberd
There are all too many who come into that category.
