on another thread it was being described how dalglish, souness, hodgson, rafa and brendan all made their share of dud signings. Then i thought how many duds did roy evans sign? then I thought of Stan Collymore. To me he was one of the most talented players I have seen but he had the brain of a 6 year old. He was a big money signing and contribution wise it was a bit mixed but was he a dud? not a confrontational thread just wonder whether you thought he was a star or a dud albeit a talented one.

A hugely talented player who could have been an absolute legend. Obviously that never happened but hugely gifted.

Unfortunately Stan did not have his troubles to seek in his life outside football.

Not a bad commentator these days.

No stanley, would'nt put him down as a dud, your right about his terrible attitude, can remember he refused to move up here from his home in Cannock, his first season with Fowler he was fantastic, I thought it was Fowler's best season as well, we went sooooooo close to winning the title, Stan Collymore will always get mentioned about being one of the spice boys tho...

Top player but had issues going on outside of the game and later, mental health issues. To call him names for that is appalling (KP).
