Lyle Taylor always a legend for the wet night at Bristol!
-
I don't know what the metric is here. Should I hate the ones that had an annoying thing about them, more than the absolute legions that came here, made no fucking mark, and fucked off never to be remembered again?
-
The metric is player you disliked most. It could be for whatever reason you had to dislike him.
I just thought of another one. Jamie Ward. Little rat cunt.
-
Whilst there have been plenty of shit players over the years the player who pissed me off most was Danny Fox.
Years ago - possibly under Calderwood - RichOriginal drove us to a Tuesday night game at Walsall. We lost 1-0 I think and Fox ran the game from left back and took all their set pieces. I remember thinking that he was exactly what we needed. I think Coventry bought him, then Celtic, then Southampton, then us. I still thought he'd be the left back answer. But he was largely shit. He was the sort of player that mongs liked because he was 'committed', but he couldn't stop crosses and when he was switched to centre half he just ball watched and let centre forwards run in behind him.
In fairness to him he probably rocked up in a team that was a basket case, but I had high hopes for him and he rapidly became very shit. -
Des Walker.
-
Henri Lansbury.
-
Was one of the better, and more committed, players in that 16/17 relegation battle though.
-
And actually a decent guy.
Lyle Taylor on the other hand… -
Danny Cullip.
-
Are we going for players who were shit (especially if expectations were high) and thus annoying? Or players who were cunts regardless of their performance on the pitch?
-
One afternoon - a Tuesday I think - I went over the road from the theatre to the Sports Cafe. Fuck knows why - there must've been something on I wanted to watch. There were a group of ladsladslads at the bar. I realised one of them was Danny Cullip. He clearly hadn't been at training and I somehow wasn't surprised when he was subbed off inside 20 minutes the following Saturday.
-
PVH has to be on the list.
-
Tbf, there’s a fcukin lot of both.
-
Marlon Mk2 - I remember him coming over and having a go at us at MK Hockey ground because we let him know he was being exceptionally shit.
-
That was a particularly dark time - when paul hart believed that MkII was better than MKI and turning over them thusly. And proving himself wrong. It's indisputable that MKI is a much nicer young man than MKII. But that really highlights where I am with this. I don't really dislike the player. He was, what he was. It's the managers job to make good decisions and put the best bodies that he can in the right places. I suppose given that paul hart was also a player, I can have him. Paul Hart, dislike.

Marlon's looking very comfy. Where exactly is your right hand?
