I can't remember anything about Egan. I want to say Josh or John or Jack. Must have had a big impact. I'd guess defender.

Defender John Egan came to us on Loan from Sunderland.
Now, in his early 30s, he is playing for Hull, signed last season by Ruben Selles.
He has scored in all 4 Divisions in England.

Fair enough. He had no impact on me. How many games did he play?

Coppell had a pretty good record,

Wright - Greenwich ( for a set of tracksuits)
Bright - Leicester £80,000
Thomas - Crewe £40,000
Gray - Dulwich Hamlet £10,000
McGoldrick - Northampton £30,000
Madden - Arsenal free
O’Reilly - Brighton £30,000
Pemberton - Crewe £40,000
Pardew - Yeovil £10,000

These formed the core of the team that got promoted and got to the cup final and finished third in the Premier League equivalent.
Coppell used to travel to all sorts of non league and lower division clubs to source players as the club had little money then.
Noades played a notable role in player recruitment too.

He played 2 games for us, 1 in the League and 1 in the FA Cup.

Well, that explains how I don't really remember him.
