Jan Koller, Peter Crouch and my childhood idol Preben Elkjaer:

The goal at 0.58 was the goal I remember that really got me into football (Euro 84).0 -
Erhun Oztumer looks like he needs a month in a grow bag,played well last night mind you0

Spot on... bloke won a competition to play for us!!I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:Christophe Lepoint0 -
I remember seeing Peter Crouch at the Valley when he was at Naaaaaaarwich.
I don’t think I had ever seen a most unfootball like footballer in my entire life. I spent the whole game thinking ‘wtf?’
To think he actually carved a living out of it & played (quite brilliantly sometimes) for England still amazes me to this day!0 -

Yuran and Kulkav were two Russians signed by Millwall in 1996 on loan from Spartak Moscow.. Unfortunately they spent every night in the UK pissed at the bar in The Bromley Court Hotel. Ungamely players both.0

I saw Mark McCammon for us at Tranmere in a draw about 20 years ago and he really was awful/awkward to watch. I think someone like Mervyn Day talked about him needing to be taught how to run, jump, head and pretty much everything else!0

Yup, me too. He ripped Dumbarton a new arsehole in our only year in the top league (in my lifetime). Remember raging about how someone so ungainly could be so good

For us any of about 2 dozen of the eurotrash wombats we signed under shitarse and latrine
One who stands out though is Phil Chapple with the ball at his feet, always looked like he was about to tread on it. And to shock a few Johnny Robinson. Thought he has a dreadful toe-y way of hitting the ball and for a winger had very stuttery, ungracious footwork. Not to say I didn't love him to bits, it was effective but very unnatural to watch.
He's gone on to do really well but I questioned how Scott Sinclair was even a footballer when we had him
In mo particular order the rest of the footballing worlds gangly and stumbling weirdos that carved a career from the game to varying degrees of infamy
Carlton Palmer
Peter Crouch
Carston Jancker
Kevin Francis
Maiga (west ham and QPR failure)
Dan Byrne
Andy Keogh
Mark Sale
Leo Fortune-West
Chris Sutton (although phenomenal and dominant in the air)
Paolo Wanchope

Has to be Carlo, surely?
In those early days his legs were like pipe cleaners and he was like a baby goal gambling about the pitch!0 -
Ralph Milne actually looked like he was running with a limp - my mate used to say that the real Ralph Milne must have swopped with a random bloke on the train down from Scotland - someone who’d never played football before. He was shockingly awful0

Other than Rommedahl i'd agree. So basically i'm disagreeing but you know what I mean... I hopecafctom said:
Still the quickest player I’ve seen in a Charlton shirt though. Unbelievable pace.paulbaconsarnie said:Danny Haynes ran like someone taking a parent race at a school sports day far too seriously.

Martin Pringle always looked pretty awkward whenever he had the ball0
-
Simon Francis springs to mind as well. Whenever he would put in a cross, he would blast it at about 100mph as if he seemingly didn’t know any other way of doing it0

Kevin Francis great shout. Remember him smashing a goal in from pretty much the halfway line for Birmingham on the big match once.Carter said:For us any of about 2 dozen of the eurotrash wombats we signed under shitarse and latrine

Grzegorz Rasiak. Quite possibly the worst player I've seen at Spurs over the years. Looked uncomfortable and totally out of his depth as soon as he pulled on a Spurs shirt and his career nosedived.
Andy Booth, a close second. Brought to Spurs on loan from Sheffield Wed by David Pleat back in the late 90s when Sheringham got injured (before he went Utd). Vaguely remember sitting through the most sterile 0-0 with Charlton at WHL.
EDIT: having looked it up, he played 4 games for Spurs in 2001!0 -

No, at the Valley v Newcastle at the Jimmy Seed end. I think we won 4-1.Addick Addict said:
Was that at Sellhurst Park?AshBurton said:
Once hit a penalty even higher than Nicky Bailey. First and last time he took one I think!Addick Addict said:
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.alan dugdale said:Lawrie Madden1 -

Yes Graham was manager but I'm fairly sure it was Pleats decision as Director of Fooball. Funnily, Graham was sacked about 6 weeks later for complaining about transfer strategy and lack of funds in mid March, ENIC stating breach of contract after they bought the club in the February.Ormiston_Addick said:
