Joe Gallagher. Sorry changed my mind to Ian Wright. That's if you ignore all john bonds signings from the retirement home

Brady's pass was better. It was the one touch control and finish I was referring to Gandhi, I had to watch it about a dozen times just to get my head round it!

Ian Wright was one where I was genuinely excited for the prospect. I put Burnley on the map and was a brilliant signing all round.

Ian Wright, Wright Wright.

Defour

edit. I didn;t read the thread before I posted and then looked to see some people posting Ian Wright, Gazza etc. I get they were all wow signings but the quesiton was "when was the last time ..." I'm thinking "Wow" that it6's not a thread reading

Defour

Ian Wright....the only time for me as well.

Was behind the goal at Gillingham when he scored his first for us, wonderful moment....."Ian Wright scores for Burnley" almost surreal at the time. Oxford away was his best Burnley game for me though. Brilliant.

Prior to actually playing, Ian Wright.
Growing up as a teenager in the 80's it was dire fare. Steve Davis (MKII) was way too good for the level we were at. Robbie Blake. Not many in recent memory though. Heaton and Keane were surprise wow's. The rest have been good to ok.
