Listening to Danny Graingers interview and lookin at his performances over the last two seasons I have to say he is one. Rubbish the first season and a different man last. New position revitalised him.

Thinking back over the years, David Currie had a poor start but ended up being a hero. Some have gone the other way around. Lee Miller for one.

Richard Keogh won me over. I thought he was a terrible player when we first signed him but had a superb final season and has improved ever since.

As good as player he was I couldn't wait to see Keogh leave, his diving and theatrics drove me insane, I was shant for him.

Grainger, Billy, Keogh definitely.

I'll also admit to feeling very underwhelmed at the signing of a young inexperienced goalkeeper who I thought looked poor at in his first few games. Kieran Westwood.

And I can recall reading all the negative comments from Tranmere fans about Kevin Grey and thinking we'd made an awful signing at the time.

Like Grainger towards the back end of last season.

Fitzpatrick is a good call. He looked lazy but he grew on me. Very talented player and underrated.
I was no fan of keogh either in his first spell but got better and better for us.

Seems harsh because they were young lads but Scott Dobie and Rory Delap.

First time I saw Delap was that game at Bury back in 95 a week before Wembley - he missed a sitter and I thought he looked crap. Next time was a few months later at Crewe. No Rod Thomas and Delap in his place. I grumbled my way through the first half , picking fault in everything Rory did and then he scored with a cheeky back header - putting me firmly in my place!

Dean Walling, rubbish up front but a revelation when he went to centre-back.

Ive been thinking about this and cant really think of anyone. Theres quite a few the other way though who i thought would do well and didnt. Kevan Hurst was highly recommended by a Sheff Utd fan i know for example.

I thought Joe Joyce was very poor to start off with, but he turned out to be a good defender for us.
I'll also never forget that brilliant goal against Huddersfield in the Auto Windscreens game either.

Ian Harte - arrived as a no-paced left-back who looked like his legs had gone and finished up as a highly rated centre-half and dead ball specialist.
If the world didn't suck we'd all fall off

Showing my age somewhat. Simon Hackney.... Thought he was shit and didn't realise just how good he was until he left.... Him and Ziggy were class down that left flank.

More recently Michael Raynes.... Think as the season wore on he got better and better and was a major contribution on us getting as far as we did in the cup comps. Think the similarities in both I've mentioned are that: when they're not playing you realise how important they are.

Like Grainger towards the back end of last season.

Second half of the season he was crap. Diving, pushing players all the time because he wasn't fit enough like he was at the start of the season.

I remember watching Peter Murphy's debut, a cup game away at Stockport and he was our best player on the pitch. Roddy did sign some awful players back then so I guess it's no great surprise.
