I thought of a player immediately as I spotted this post and then slogged through the full list to see if anyone else has mentioned him. But nobody has.....

Kevin Noteman who always seemed to score against us for Doncaster / Mansfield.

The day before we played Bolton at Burnden Park on the last day of the 94/95 season our supporters group (the early Boundary Clarets) stayed at a B&B in Blackpool. Dave Lancaster happened to be staying next door. Sat outside the front with a few beers prior to heading out we had a good laugh with him. Sound bloke. He might not have scored many against us but he was always a handful.

I always disliked Dave Bamber at Blackpool as a kid. Does anyone know what his record was like against us?
It could be he had one decent game I suppose

I’m sure he always saved his best performances against us.

Andy Mutch at Stockport. Had the same song as Andy Cooke.

Steve Kabba at Grimsby is another I never liked to face.
