How many did Tunna actually score for us? I was only young when he played and I remember him scoring a grand total of one!!

Jonathan Mitten was pretty pants, but Tunna would have to take the biscuit (or possibly more!) We've had a few truly awful strikers, far too many to mention here.

Hold on a mo, Tunna scored a cracker at Wycombe to almost spoil thier promotion party, many worse than him. My all timer is Derek Furnival from the mid 70's, truly awful and so slow I can remember. There were a few recently in the Unibond years granted, but none thankfully ever lingered.

Lutel James for an aclaimed international did nothing to impress me  ;)

Re: Most disappointing Alty striker? non productive fun

Ah, with Lutel James you're now talking about an ex BUry player who had done well in the conference with Accrington. Whata complete and utter let dow he was.

So to change tack slightly who is the most disappointing ex ALty striker? For me, I expected more from Gary Powell when we signed him but he was startlingly ineffective. Howver I don't think we paid much for him so as far players we paid for, well, Martin Hanchard was dead highly rated but I was suprised at him when he got here. I think Colin WIlliams wasn't quite what we had hoped either although by then he was past his prime I guess.

On the plus side Ken McKenna was a big signing, cost money but was someone we knew was a class player. He surpassed himself while at Alty though (and indeed since he has left). Sometimes your heroes turn out to be not what you hoped, getting to know them sometimes can shatter a lot of dreams, not Kenny Mac. True Alty legend.

In terms of dissapointment its a close call between keith russell who signed permanently for us and had a clause in his new contract saying he would stand off-side for every second he spent on the pitch (which wasnt an awful lot of seconds), or dare I say Leroy Chambers.

It broke my heart each week seeing Chambers turn up to spectate in a flash suit paid for by the lads on the terrace who saved up for their clobber! More of a niggling injury to the club than a dissapointment.

Gary Hulmes?  Big name signing from Cliftonville (or somewhere in Norn Ireland) - didn't score once

Tony Sullivan?  We got him fit so he could knock us out of the FA Cup the following season

Dave Esdaille - I remember him clearing the bar at Witton from about 5 yards with an empty net in front of him.
