A name synomonous with one of the bleakest periods in Celtic's history Wayne Biggins arrived at Parkhead from Barnsley in November 1993 in a part-exchange deal which saw the South Yorkshire club pick up Andy Payton and £100,000.

Whatever manager Lou Macari saw in Biggins was not shared by the Celtic support who were left wondering why the limited but hard working Payton was swapped for an unknown 33 year-old English journeyman. Prolific striker in lower division English football, just not Celtic class though..

Biggins made just 4 starts for Celtic but as far as the Hoops support - by now deeply depressed by the dominance of Rangers - were concerned that was 4 starts too many. In a Celtic career which lasted a mercifully short four months Biggins failed to hit the net and headed back down south in March 1994 with former club Stoke kindly paying £125,000.

As a first-hand witness of his debut (he came on as a sub in a midweek game) I can say that one of the less wonderful things the Celtic support has done happened that day. A section of the crowd booed him on for his debut and sang "Who the f*ckin hell are you?".

The frustration was utterly understandable given the sitation that Celtic were in at the time. He wasn't up to it, we knew it and probably he knew it as well. In fact I rank him as the worst player I have ever seen in a Celtic strip.

Harsh but fair - his nickname was 'Bertie' but nobody really knew why. The fanzine Not The View suggested that it was because he had the same amount of football ability as the large liquorice allsorts creature.

Nevertheless, it was wrong to boo the man on for his debut.
