I remember this guy when I was first coming to brentford. He used to get so much stick from the bees fans.
All a blur as I was so young, but my first memory of a player getting so much abuse.
How crap was this fella really, and what happened to him after he left the bees?

Went to Barnet then on the coaching staff at Luton Town. Not sure what he’s up to now.

Never thought he was that bad. I can think of a crowd scene of poor players we have had over the years but wouldn't include him in that.

Probably filed under the section of "hard b@stards". Could certainly put in a tackle. Thought he was ok in a pretty sh*t period for the club when free transfers were a plenty.

I was there, I remember the ‘stick’ he got, but I really don’t remember anything remarkable that he did. I’m sure I’ve put him in the ‘we’ve had far worse’ pile in the garage…

From memory he joined us with a decent reputation from playing in the top division with Luton. He was underwhelming for us but was not alone in that. We had a few signings like that back in the day. Players you had sort of heard of from Match of the Day on their way down. Wilf Rostron was a similar type of signing who also came in for some stick a little later on. Probably signed to give our team some experience. We have certainly had quite a few worse than them over the years though but that is probably for another thread.

If anyone is interested, he did a Podcast "My Best Eleven" (Link Below) in July this year and you hear him talk about Keith Jones & Andy Sinton and others.


If you Subscribe Paul Buckle has also done one.

Love the stories of the old days ?.
It is so awesome to hear how these older players are doing now days

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it

Turner was just another lower league journeyman during the McLintock era of which we had a number. Phil Bater at full back Ian Holloway wide right, the lumbering Gary Stevens up front…..just to name a few. Turner played centre mid, was a senior player but bang average with it.
The mind might be playing tricks but I recall a home defeat to a desperate Northampton side, when we spent 90 minutes falling into their offside trap…….happy days!!!

Thankfully Perryman soon took over and guys like this were all shipped out……

I remember it well
Perryman was our manager
Dreadful game to watch
We kept falling into their trap
Much anger and frustration in the stands
Wayne Turner, like Andy Feeley, had top flight experience, but also had injury problems

The only one capable of breaking the Northampton offside trap that day was Graham Rix. Unfortunately he didn’t have the legs to run with ball once he’d done so

Wasn't the worst or best in a very grey time for the club. He could on the rare occasion pick a decent pass and put in a tackle but was largely neither especially good or bad- I guess that makes him bang average in a bang average to poor team.

Was our captain wasn't he for a season, before Keith Jones. Quite unpopular and often had a back injury. Quite a big name signing. Scored a classy freekick once, top corner in a home game.
I remember he played in a wig for Bob Bookers testamonial match on a Friday night at GP v Sheffield United and threw it in the air after a while to big cheers from the New Road. Glad to see he's alive and still got those distrinctive teeth and no hair.

Apparently the Hair piece went on to star as a Tribble in one of the Star Trek franchise movies - little known piece of Bees trivia ;)

I’m sure Vinny Jones was in goal in that testimonial match. Someone won 4-2 and Bob probably got a penalty.
