    As shite as Francis was, the Llera performance at Colchester was on another level of turd.

    Iain Dowie has got to damn near be the worst manager ever to piss away eleven million on the crap he bought.

    JFH, Pouso (did he ever even play?), Amdy Faye, Dickson (a striker who can't score!), Walton, Diawara.

    My favorite nickname from that season was when people called JFH "Moneybank" because he was essentially stealing 40k from the club per week for his crap performances.

    Mc clown for me. Seabiscuit's cameo v Ipswich was the stuff of legend though. Rommedahl was not the worst player we've had but he was probably the most disappointing. Just didn't use his talent. Same for Zheng Zhi

    Worst ever performance: Miguel Llera, Col U away about three seasons ago

    Don't think I saw that game, but surely can't be a worse performance than Francis had in the cup (think it was the last time he played for us) before powell put him out of his misery........
    Anyone who was there will tell you. It wasn't the way he was turned inside out repeatedly by anyone who went near him, nor the way he was bullied by strikers who were, frankly, dogshit, or even the absolute comedy of the own goal he conceded. It was just everything about him that night. Summed up in a nutshell what a poor player he was when off form. It was truly atrocious.

    Mikel Alonso. One of the worst most off the pace halfs i've ever witnessed.

    El Khalej, Pouso, Robbie Mustoe, Traore, Faye - admittedly all in the top division. If I have to choose one, it's got to be Alonso. That penalty he gave away was truly shocking!

    Hard to disagree... i.e. the other names mentioned all proved they couldnt handle it in the Premier League but may have done a better job for us in League One - Alonso on the other hand played seven times for Bolton in the Premier League yet then proved that day against Brentford he couldnt even hack League One level
    I don't think it's fair to judge a player on such little game time, especially when so obviously out of condition after injury. Andy Hughes was another player lambasted in that very same fixture you speak of, & he didn't turn out to be too bad.

    I think players like Paul Bacon, Jamie Stuart (who started ok, but rapidly went downhill), Ralph Milne, Pawel Abbot hit the high marks for me. Francis joins that list too, as well as McCormack, who I think was one of the worst 'bottlers' i've ever seen in professional football.

    However, someone like Akpo I think is a bit unfairly treated, as he wasn't useless, just a bit limited. He popped up with some useful goals & always seemed to work his nuts off.

    Dickson (a striker who can't score!)

    Wasn't he a Pardew signing? (Same same I guess! - Two dickheads who enjoyed spunking cash like there was no tomorrow!) :-D or :-C

    I was at the Colchester game and indeed Llera's ineptitude put others in the shade. But worst ever player, which is the subject of this thread? I cannot forget the sublime strike against Swindon when with 9 men he earned us a point so I am prepared to overlook his errors. At least he tried unlike that utter dogmess Traore.

    If based on cost and return Marcus Bent has to be high on the list.

    I must remain consistent, Radostin Kishishev. Could not kick the ball. End of. Locked on. Fact.

    We've had a lot of s**t at the valley. I'm gana go by manager signings of recent years from curbs.

    Curbs - Marcus bent, karim baghari (from Iran)
    Dowie - humiliating.
    Pardew - izle McLeod, paddy mcdonkey
    Parky - Pawel abbot, llera
    Powell - Alonso, gower

    Diawara?! We'd be begging for him right now. Quality defender in the French leagues.

    Izale Mcleod. Never seen a footballer less interested on being on a football pitch. At least Francis, Mccormack etc however bad their ability looked like they wanted to pretend to be a footballer. Mcleod wouldn't jog a metre to pick up a loose ball. I also remember him jumping to challenge a header and as soon as he landed couldn't be arsed, even if the second ball was right next to him.

    Hard to imagine we were unbeaten before that game at Colchester where I decided to take my dad for his birthday. What a treat that turned out to be!! Thanks Miguel, I haven't been able to get him to a game since!

    French leagues being the key there. To be honest, with the state of the defense we'd be begging for Cory Gibbs, Sorondo or Traore right now.

    Harrison. A left back from Watford, I think Mullery signed him. Jimmy Floyd goes close though. Have to be honest, if I had to pick 10 most would be in the last 5 years.

    No way! He was brilliant in the 1980/1 season. My nomination would be Paul Friar, full back signed from Leicester about 1984. Looked and played like a 12 year old.

    Tahar El Khalej. Came on as sub in the 6-1 home defeat to Leeds in 2003. Can't remember if he ever played again after that.

    The other Talel El, was it Kelcouri?, or there was a young player from the 70s permed hair midfielder played in the side with Robinson, Shaw, Flanagan etc may have been called Smith???

    sorry just saw earlier post from Amos, great minds and all that!
