Problem is you guys appear to have all been spoilt by first and second tier players.

If you want genuine dross, go back to the early 1970's when we were in the lower reaches of tier 4.

Malcolm Swain anyone? The worst footballer I have ever seen for any side.

Good shout. Also from that era, Martin James. Made Hicksy look Baresi-esque.

his pace was a bit special as well
I remember going into the club shop at Ipswich and seeing a photo of a night game from above the ground. The photographer had used some sort of filter/delay effect that showed all the players in motion. We realised Reading were the oppo and then noticed that one player had no movement trail. Chadwick

Bollocks

Nobody in the 1970s could only last 10 minutes without being knackered like Drenthe.

He was in the very first post (one of my nominations for bad character). But I could also have nominated him for a host of other characteristics, none of them good!

He's probably good value on a night out, so long as you knew you weren't going to be responsible for getting him home in one piece.

Maybe I can up my game in old age so we can add my eyes to the mix :oops:

CountryRoyal Onside awareness/timing - Adam Le Fondre.

Simon Church, surely.

Nameless Michael Gilkes's crossing

Really? OK, half of his crosses went into the Tilehurst End, but the other half picked out Jimmy Quinn at the far post perfectly. For all the bad crosses, there have probably been very few wingers who put in more good crosses. Andy Hughes' crossing, however...

If we're nominating worst crossers may I propose Martyn Booty. Always hit the first defender

Rarely hit the first defender
Normally the second bus stop

In fairness to him he was never a winger
Actually quite decent when played as an attacking midfielder through the centre

We called him Puppy as reminded us of a Boxer puppy. All energy, little co-ordination
