Mullery, Maybank, Davies, Parker, Marsh, Dempsey (loan), I am sure there are more but not too many
Bobby Robson
Paul Parker (unsuccessfully as I recall)
Gordon Davies & Andy Cole are others that spring to mind
Got Davies and Parker. Forgot Cole. Not many really.

Oops sorry, yes you did get Parker, I should have read your OP more carefully.

I think Leroy Rosenior came back twice, once having gone to QPR, and once coming back from West Ham on loan. Got goals in all 3 spells. Robert Wilson came back to us from Luton but didn't do much in his second spell with us.
Does Diarra count?
Ray Lewington, and technically Kit as well
No managers and no loans. So we have come up with 10 so far. Doesn't look good for Brede and Sids
Are you counting diarra? He technically signed twice
Actually, players who did well once leaving us for 'bigger clubs' are few and far between. Paul Parker, Steve Finnan and EVDS rank as do to a lesser extent Louis Saha in recent decades. Moral of the stort : Stay at The Whites and Prosper !! (Does Mr Spock salute)..

Mullery, MacDonald, Marsh, Houghton, Smalling, Cole, Robson, J Dempsey, Gale, Clarke, Finnan, Halom - not that many either.
So the conclusion is nobody comes back and nobody prospers when they leave

You 'think'?! Leroy the legend!.. Well done for mentioning him res. His returns lifted the crowd during bad times...
