BanburyBud Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 It's got to be Kevin Twaddle, for me. Quote

zurich_allan Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Deciding on a worst player is always a difficult one I think. To me it's not just as simple as worst player ever seen(which would be Gary McVie)it's more worst player that made a number of appearances and therefore continued to look the antithesis of a footballer over a period of time rather than just one game or a couple of sub appearances. I saw McVie play once(badly), Kelechie Okorie likewise. Neil Orr was pish for a while, Brian Smith played infrequently and was always crap, Jim Gardner was consistently awful. Taking all into consideration I'd have to give a joint equal award to Mo Camara and Mikael Renfrum. Both wage thieves of the highest order. I agree that Mikail Renfurm was terrible for us, and to this day it annoys me - he was a fantastic player in the Dutch league - there's a goals compilation somewhere on YouTube I watched a while back of his, and some of his goals showed exceptional skill and determination. You wonder sometimes why certain players can show it at some clubs but not at others. Edited January 1, 2015 by zurich_allan Quote

FTOF Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Ronnie McQuilter was pretty shit, but at least he tried. If we look at the preceived amount of money spent relative to the quality of performances, then the list is endless and several contenders have been mentioned previously. Kevin Twaddle was an impostor, who simply didn't want to play games. He frequently invented reasons, just before kick off, to avoid selection. Christopher Wreh was another player who promised so much, but delivered very little. However, pound for pound, I reckon Mo Camara, Danny Grainger and Bahookie must be worth consideration. Quote
billymehmet1 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 These guys promised And at least did sonething in a saints jersey. Bahoken was with us a full season Abd I'm sure he only had 1 start sbd two sub appeRances Quote
lovestreet Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 The lad they nicknamed Tiger,stiffest player I've ever seen he was shite Quote
steve_the_saint Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 As already mentioned, if a player only plays 2-3 games I don't think you can include them in this category - the few games they played for us may have underlying reasons why they were shit. You can only truly judge if a player is REALLY bad once they have played a fair number of games, say 20/half a season. I seem to remember a lot of the coughlin team were truly awful however a lot of them came from lower leagues and we're just punching above their weight with us - e.g. Mark crilly, Robert dunn. But Andy Dow is one who sticks out as being so bad that you genuinely wonder how he managed to look so good playing in the premier league. That guy really was a wage thief for us. Quote

BuddieinEK Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Craig Malloy? Tiger was a hard midfielder with loads of potential. Bossed the opening game of the season up in Inverness and I reckon should have achieved more in the game. Quote
SuperSaints 12 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Jamie McCluskey or Chris Smith Quote
nedflanders123 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 sorry got to be jim stewart never saw him lose less than 4 goals a game when he played , when money was injured truly the worst you only have to see the celtic 5.0 game could have been 1o that day if they had coverted there chances ,defense panic every time he was in goals You clearly never saw Jim Gilmour in the early 70s. Even made Chris Smith look good. Quote
spankin_panda Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 James Marwood is up there! Useless. Utterly useless. Quote
shull Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 You clearly never saw Jim Gilmour in the early 70s. Even made Chris Smith look good.Indeed,I'll never forget his debut at Hampden against Queens Park. Second worst display of goalkeeping that I've ever witnessed. Quote
nedflanders123 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Indeed,I'll never forget his debut at Hampden against Queens Park. Second worst display of goalkeeping that I've ever witnessed. Or carefully steering a shot by the post only for it to nestle in the back of the net. Quote
TsuMirren Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 I remember a bald guy called Aitken who played for the reserves in the 80's, no idea if he ever played a first team game, he was pretty hopeless. For wages earned and prior reputation you have to add Archibald. Quote
saintargyll Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 The Internet he has been the worst player EVER since he came into being and was able to broadcast himself as an expert Quote
steve_the_saint Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Brian smith without any doubtCheesy reminds me a lot of Brian smith. Both very similar style of player who get caught out defensively an awful lot. Although when smith played, he played right back in the first team for us but he captained the reserves at centre half and actually looked decent - obviously playing against boys and crocks in the reserve league west. I used to watch a lot of the reserves at that time and I remember him scoring a screamer from 40 yards into the top corner. Tbh that would be getting loads of mentions on the best goal scored thread, if anyone else actually seen if! Quote
bluto Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Sergei Baltacha? He seemed good, initially... then performances grew more and more average. I liked him. Quote
