Not a bad player at all, and certainly better than some of the current crop.

Wasn’t he the first player we paid a fee for after being skintos for years?

Come on, let's be honest, he was rubbish, typical lower league forward, he was the league two Kieffer Moore

I remember Steve Watkin from Wrexham for 100k being a rarity, albeit a while before PC...

We signed another forward around the same time as Paul, anyone remember his name?

Just checked, 1999 was the last time we paid a fee for a player before Paul Connor.

I think his mam wrote his wiki page.

“With the end of his contract looming Connor was sold just before transfer deadline day in March 2004 for just £35,000 to Swansea City despite Dale's precarious League position. Connor proved to be a hardworking, skilful striker, forging effective partnerships with both Lee Trundle and Kevin Nugent.

Often maligned for basically not being Trundle, Paul scored a number of very important goals with some excellent finishes. The second top goal scorer in the 2004–05 season with 12 finishes in 44 appearances was 3 or 4 better than their top scorers totals for a number of seasons during the 1990s.”

Lovely fella Paul.

Especially when he got swallowed by Jaws.

 

[Pegojack]

Wouldn't surprise me if our outstanding recruitment team signs him as our new striker for next season.

This was a brilliant day out.

They're just mid-table side says Merson

PAUL MERSON delivered a damning put-down of Swansea City - even though Kenny Jackett's men tore his Walsall side apart at the Bescot Stadium.

Was at the game also, cracking day, Connor was outstanding, do you remember us taking the piss out of the long haired Walsall fan at half time, he was walking along the bottom of the stand that ran the length of the pitch giving us the Nescafe handshake in response, and walked straight into a pillar! Hilarious it was
