Jamie Doyle I think his name was. He came from Leicester shitty. Was the year before Weaver. He wasn't all that bad tbh, 10 goals in 38 appearances, which was Good during that horrible time as an Ayr fan There's been a few up from England, a mix of both good and just plain awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it went downhill after and I think we got a hiding at Brechin but I can't remember as it seems that long ago Still a registered player somewhere in Ireland Cherrie has actually had quite a decent career over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle played 18 league games and scored his only goal on his debut. Mark Casey arrived from Portsmouth the same season as Weaver and played for a few seasons. Andy Reid signed the year before from Blackburn although he didn't play much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has been playing sillybuggers on Doyle's wikipedia page. I knew he had not scored ten goals that season - especially because we scored a ridiculously low number of goals that season. Stewart Kean was our top scorer with 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah also says he plays for Leicester and his stats for them and Arbroath are wrong too. Maybe his kids found it and were embarrassed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Was it not a boy Reid who came from Blackburn? Weaver wasn't shit, he was just about the only one who looked alright in a howling team, his one-man demolition of Morton at Cappielow probably had the rest of the players thinking ach it's alright Weaver will dig us out. I do agree though on reflection the clamour for him was probably ott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, some local celebrity financed those deals as Barr had stopped funding us by then. I remember being buzzing we had signed Brown. He looked a good signing. Unfortunately his time with us was plagued with injuries and he only managed three goals in his season and a bit with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though on reflection the clamour for him was probably ott. Tbh me calling him shit was probably a bit harsh, as he had a couple of good performances. It is understandable that there would be a clamour for a player who had played well in a couple of games to play in a team as awful as the one we had back then. However, he was not good enough to play like that consistently. He was nowhere near the worst player we had back then though. He's still only 36. I thought he would be older than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Darren Henderson missing the ball completely whilst trying to kick it in mid air, the opposition received it and went on to score . At 37 he was well past it, as was Tommy Tait, who was absolute Dire! Those signings should never have happened imo. Sign of the times that Ayr were in great desperation. We should be proud of how far the team has came since then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honest Men Trust raised some of the money which was matched, I think, by the board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be proud of how far the team has came since then We could probably fill a couple of starting elevens. Tommy Tait basically played for us for free, so I won't slag him for that. In terms of starting every week and being utter guff, I'd probably say David Dunn was the worst. He was a "winger" who couldn't do anything a winger was meant to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
