Can anyone remember a guy called Gus Uhlenbeek playing for us in a pre-season friendly/testimonial against East Fife back in July 2000? Hibs won the game 3-2 with Lehmann scoring 2 and Gus getting the other.
He was a right back and started his career at Ajax but went to a number of clubs (12 in total). When he played for us he had just finished at Fulham before joining Sheffield Utd. I was at the game and I must admit I have no recollection of him.
I would have guessed that, like many players that have passed through the club, we would have been excited with the prospect of a player who had been at Ajax and had just left Fulham.
Was he one that Alex McLeish missed out on?
Can anyone remember any other players than we have had on trial that we missed out on that would have been a good acquisition?

Thankfully he went on to score some goals for Liverpool.

I'm sure he featured during the preseason - in Germany? - that year and looked good for us over there.

I remember him alright - the stadium announcer at New Bayview or whatever it's called was given a handwritten piece of paper to announce the teams with christian names only and he announced him as "Goose"! Or so we thought.

I remember Andy McLaren playing a few games for us on trial.
He always seemed to be on the point of signing for us but never did.

Think he only got a trial with us due to Dirk Lehamann at the time having played with him at Fulham, it was a straight choice between him and Gary Smith though for the RB position, think McLeish made the correct decision.
Was this not Ulrik Laursen's debut too?

Much to Miller's genuine annoyance . He was livid in fact as he had accepted a " gentleman's agreement" with Platt and his agent .
