John Moore is the man for me, Malcolm Murray was pretty damn bad as was Tony Finnigan - some of Stan Ternant's signings where really bad footballers too, of which Finnigan was one!
Appleby is obviously an interesting one because he was clearly a decent footballer but he had some psychological issues, either that or he was just a lazy sod, however he certainly had a good touch - just terrible for City!
Simon Trevitt was truly useless but hilariously jug-eared. Who was his team mate that got injured falling down a lift shaft. Simon Dakin? Why have we had so many bad players called Simon? Walton would also be in my XI.
I've answered my own question with a quick google. This from Ambernectar: "In the mid-90s football in England became sexy in a way that had seemed impossible just a few years previous. Sadly, through crass mismanagement on and off the pitch, Hull City didn’t just miss the boat, we aimlessly floated around on a piece of driftwood while the rest of the world steamed ahead. Yet there was something endearing about us. Our rag-taggle bunch of free transfers, youth players and North Ferriby imports were often so out of their depth that there was a certain glory in our naffness. And nothing seemed to sum up this naffness better than when our decidedly average right-back Simon Dakin, a free transfer from Derby County, fell down a lift shaft on a pre-season tour of Spain in 1995. At a time when Eric Cantona was kung-fu kicking thuggish fans and Tony Adams was drunkenly ploughing cars through the front gardens of Essex, our players’ misdeeds were in-keeping with our relative mediocrity on the pitch. “Biscuit”, as Dakin was naffly nicknamed, never fully revealed the details of what happened that fateful evening, though it’s fair to presume that tomfoolery and/or sangria was involved. The broken collar bone kept him out of the first team at the beginning of the subsequent season, and Adam Lowthorpe’s general excellence, meant that he never quite retained his place in the Tigers’ defence and he was released in 1996. Non-league football – including a lengthy and successful stint at King’s Lynn – and a career in law beckoned for Dakin. And you can’t help but wonder if he specializes in suing negligent Spanish hotels" Those were the days....
same reasoning for Bamber...at the time he cost us something like ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã200k which was way beyond our normal transfer fees....he was utter ****e for us but always seemed to score against us
Some notable ones from the 1980s. Buckley, De Mange and Hesford who all appeared in the 1989 game against Liverpool (watch any clips from that year and Buckley at fault for every goal). And who was it that Fettis replaced when he came on as sub to score at home. Seem to remember some youg striker with a moustache who had himself only been brought on as a substitute but was bad enough to be replaced by a Fettis up front.
Given he played nearly everywhere can we leave him until last so that he can fill in whichever position we've got a gap in?
