All in the above.
You are truly ploughing a very deep and unsavoury furrow with those names. Some uber dross there.
 
Pembridge was not fine he was absolute muck, him and Scott Gemmill gave me nightmares, even thinking about them now is making me angry.

Scott Gemmill along with Kevin Campbell played a big part in keeping us up when he first arrived.

Then he got injured and was never quite the same again.

There have been 100's (well maybe 100) of worse players for us than those two.
 

@maccavennie

No Nuno? The footballing equivalent of frang. Sat at home reading that list eating a pot noodle thinking he wasn't too shabby after all.

Nuno is a weird one for me. I had a season ticket back then, have s stupidly good memory (hence why I keep kicking off at people for saying half decent players like Tiler were crap) and yet I cant remember Valente doing a single thing for us.

The only memory I have of his time with us was seeing him in TK Maxx with who I assume was his wife in town and thinking what a meff, a pro footballer shopping in a discount store.

Yeah Nuno could go in, so could Pistone I reckon. I wasn't a fan of Gary Naysmith tbh either. I left out Madar, Carl Tiler who on another day would be shoe ins, probably same as Robles. I think I left out John Oster cos he looked like a 4 years old kid, Preki due to one good game but I think he needs to go in. I could stick Traore in due to his leg dropping off after 13 minutes, I've even left Jason Kearton out only due to sympathy and I knew where he lived when I was a kid.

That's another 10 off the top of my head just whilst thinking of a Pot Noodle.

Might need a top 1000 tbh

Yeah I didn't mind Scot Gemmill, mainly because of a 3-1 away win against Newcastle where KC scored 2 and Gemill the other.

Always tried though did Gemmil. Same as Pembridge who was super turd but wasn't a quitter and never went hiding
 
After a post in another thread groaning about players who stunk out the joint, here's my list of garbage I've endured in my experience. It's tricky - what criteria to use? Return on money paid out? Shear uselessness? Laziness? I'm going with ones that make me wince.

Nyarko - lack of backbone.

Koldrupp - could he head a ball? He seemed ok before and after us. What went wrong here? At least he didn't linger long.

Klaasen - not for this league or the team we had. Spent a lot of money on a player ill suited to us.

Sandro - I still understand why we went for him at that price, but we're lumbered with him on stupid wages. Fell off a cliff after signing for us.

Senderos - played and looked like an escapee from the mental asylum. Awful.

Angell - I recall him losing his contact lenses in a game rendering him as blind as a bat. No drop off in performance was noted.

Schneiderlin - a few decent games then a run of games that make the blood boil.

Niasse - He ain't good enough. I at least understand his position of running his contract down and making the most out of his payday. My ire is mostly at the poor recruitment we've made over the last five years or so that he represents.

Ginola - a final wringing of the career before ending that career at the top level. Along with Gazza or Mark Hughes signifies a period when we were bereft of ideas and options and a nadir in this club's history.

Bolassie - no great shakes before injury, and now sent out on loan under 3 (?) managers. Another player we were rinsed for on fee and wages. Another hindrance to being able to improve the team.

Remember Ginola's home debut... Arsenal wasn't it? Goodison went proper crazy for him. Shows how little we had to be excited about back then.

Sure he almost scored a free kick in that game, at the street end... Hit the post? To be honest my memory isn't the best, especially that era

Gerard, Radz, Mori a bit harsh.

I remember him making a tackle in a league cup game against arsenal. Think it was on denilson. I was sat in the gwladys and they were right by the park end corner flag, and you actually heard the tackle as he made it. It was totally bizarre, he must have put everything into it, there was just this massive thud as he took the ball. We lost, obviously, but Just one of them weird things that sticks in your mind.

I had to stop at this point as I was proper depressing myself remembering all the crud I've had to witness over the years

Also, we have a shocking record at purchasing crap keepers and crap right backs

Edit : just added another 3 so I'm on 70

Harsh including that Mattioni character who trained with us for about 2 months and never got near a pitch.
 
Final top 100 list l, I've put Lookman in for being a massive let down as well

@Yarrgh my work is done
