Signed from: Wimbledon Transfer fee: £7million League Appearances: 22 League Goals: 7 Carl Cort was unfortunate to pick up a series of hamstring injuries during his time at St James Park but after Sir Bobby Robson paid a whopping £7 million for his services, the former Wimbledon attacker was expected to achieve a lot more. A rare blemish on Robson's scouting CV, Cort only managed 22 appearances and scored just seven Premier League goals before being sold to Wolves for £2 million in 2004. He spent the majority of his time on Tyneside injured yet he failed to impress when he was brought into the side.
