    That was the name that came to my mind as soon as I read thread title

    Yaya Sanogo was a shambling corpse of a footballer. Looked like his body was filled with mice pulling in different directions

    Paolo Wanchope never looked in control of the ball or any good but scored a lot.

    for Charlton I give you Miguel Llera although Phil Chappel and Sonogo above good shouts too

    Mark Stuart and Peter Shaw for Charlton.
    Aaron Lennons arms when hes running, are his elbows glued to his side?

    Carl Tiler and Djimi Traore deserve some recognition.

    Robbie Savage had a weird flat-footed run.

    Weird one seeming he was a highly successful player, but I always found Roy Keane awkward to watch. I never felt as a midfielder he "ran" properly, and never pinged a ball around as I would expect a midfielder to do. Tackling not in dispute, but not graceful!

    Wayne Rooney's Derby had a player in the early seventies called Roger Davies. Looked awkward but very effective.
    Was going to say the same - he of the famous open-goal miss against Chelsea.

    Phil Chappell was like a baby giraffe. You could give him a 50yard start on any player and they probably would outpace him  
    I just cant picture Phil Chappell being the kid who was the best at football at his school. Always looked like he'd manage to do about 5 keep ups before he dropped the ball. 

    Still a good player for us though!

    Carl Leaburn
    (reaches for tin hat)  I did only see him play a couple of times for Charlton when they were making up the numbers against Liverpool and the like at that shithouse in Croydon.
    Saw him play, briefly, for Wimbledon against Charlton, he just seemed a rounder slower version of the gangly bemused kid I'd seen years before

    Danny Haynes ran like someone taking a parent race at a school sports day far too seriously.
    Still the quickest player I’ve seen in a Charlton shirt though. Unbelievable pace.

    Although I loved him to bits I thought Derek Hales had a strange running style landing heel first and as for timing his headers from keepers he always seemed to be on the way down long before the ball arrived.

    Ralph Milne. 
    Run like he had a dislocated hip

    Remember the Hales header thing very well. Never ever tried to win it (probably because he knew he couldnt) but always jumped too early. 

    Different story if he was going for a cross though.

    Much as I loved Carl Leaburn, in his early days he was rather like Bambi on ice at times.

    Neil Shipperley. Very awkward looking him in the eye, even more awkward looking down.  ;)

    Beat me to it - he was like a very tenacious Hunchback of Notre Dame in Charlton kit. For that reason I think it too longer for fans to warm to him but he won fans over in the end, albeit that he was more successful for Wednesday and has a League Cup winners medal to prove it.
    Once hit a penalty even higher than Nicky Bailey. First and last time he took one I think!

    It was bizarre to see and he probably thought that he would put the defender off by doing it. When Flash or Arthur went for the header instead it was a different story because Killer could feed off their flicks
