Players we signed but never played.Archived Message

The talk about Grayson in the Bardsley thread below go me thinking about players we signed, but never played for the first team.
Not talking youth players, but guys who were signed for the first team squad.
I can think of:
Russell Benjamin - jailed before he could play. Dean Connelly - (not Sean!) - signed from Wigan by Bergara. Appeared in the team photo, but hardly heard of again. Steve Harper - Newcastle goalie on loan for a few months, yet never played. Chris Lucketti - signed from Rochdale, hung around for a whole season without playing and subsequently played loads for other clubs at higher levels. Petr Kachura - work permit. Did he actually sign? We definitely had a shirt with name and squad number made up for him.
