The Worst Players ever?
Scroll to see replies
Being a hardcore fan of a lower league team, I can name a few:
Andrew Wright: He had been touted as a player with good potential for a couple years, so come last season when he going to be our first choice right back, all eyes where on him. He was terrible, would either fall over or just boot the ball out of play even if he could've just passed it. Useless. He plays for Morcambe now I think, unluckily for them...
Jonathon Forte: Basically Heskey but not as good in the air. A record of 9 goals in 100 games for us says it all. Even worse when you consider 2 of them were penalties and one of them was a shot that was already going in, but basically hit him in the knee and counted as his goal!
Josh Lillis: Had been backup 'keeper to the legendary Joe Murphy for 5 years, and in the few games he played in that time seemed like a good young keeper. After we got relegated to League 1, and with Joe going to Coventry, the consensus was Josh was going to be our number one keeper for the season. He spent the first 1/3 of the season being terrible, never coming out for crosses or communicating to the defence. I'd love to say he had a strong point, but he didn't. Had been replaced by a 20 year old by November.
Tomi Ameobi: Shola's much less talented brother. Played about 10 games on loan for us, had 1 shot on target. Awful player.
Nicky Ajose: Joined us on loan last season, he was terrible. Like Ameobi but more comical.

chamakh. Every time i've seen him play, he's been utter dross. He makes the Arsenal defense look good.
Arguably one of the most frustrating players to watch in the EPL

Alternatively, and while a disappointment at Manchester United, he was one of the finest players of his generation.

That, I was blissfully unaware of!
In some ways a bit like Diego Forlan then, absolutely abysmal at United but strong overseas. I have actually been at Old Trafford when Forlan scored though and you could see something was there but he just failed to show it most (99%) of the time!

Damn your right! My bad, I remember when Nigel Adkins used to manage them he led to League 1 titles.
and a play-off trophy

Aye, those were the days, back when Nigel was our manager. We achieved so much under him, from winning League One to getting to Wembley twice in a year. We were the envy of every small club in the world, then our chairman bottled it, sold/released some of our best players without even trying to keep them and bringing in crap replacements. We've been on a downward spiral ever since the end of the 2009/10 season...

Ivan Campo
i have seen many worse players than him.
Squillaci. Gervinho.
United have had a fair few shockers over the years. Kleberson, the Djemba twins, Obertan, Taibi, Bosnich, Bebe (Ali Dia of the 21st century), Prunier, Dong, Tosic, Bellion. Veron was a flop considering how much he cost but was hardly in the same league as this lot.
Him and Trevor Benjamin for Leicester has to be the worst strike partnership in the history of the Premier League.

I've always reserved this title for Ade Akinbiyi.

Lee Bowyer was one of the best midfielders in Europe at Leeds. Beast.
I really do not know how Tresor Kandol managed about 60 appearances for Leeds. He was terrible.
Andriy Voronin.
Could never figure out how he became a professional. Serious.
