For all the hype when we bought him and the way he played for Chesterfield at boothferry Ryan Williams is worth a mention
I don't think Appleby can be included, the lazy bastard wasn't on the pitch long enough for anyone to make a judgement on his ability.
The thing I always remember about Appleby was seeing Ash and another couple of players (Shaun Smith and might have been Ryan Williams but memory is hazy) having lunch in Quayside looking happy as Larry, getting on great. Appleby happened to pass by, stuck his head through the door to say hello and perhaps join them and they couldnt have been clearer in telling him he wasnt welcome. Appleby looked stunned and didnt seem to understand why but for me it spoke volumes.
Was looking down the list and thought you've missed him... you've MISSED HIM... then i see here you found him! Hesford was dreadful! he came with a good rep from Sunderland though thats the thing, i think i hated him before he'd pulled the shirt on though coz my all time favourite player went the other way
Nah, Sunderland fans were killing themselves when we signed him. I remember bumping into a shedload at a service station shortly after the deal and their emotions were mixed between joy at losing him and sympathy for us. But getting back to the point, he was schite.
For me is was Billy Bremner...reasons being everyone in my class " supported leeds utd " in those days and all i ever got was how ****e city where and how brilliant leeds and bremner was....hated leeds...hated that though i went to school in Hull everyone " supported leeds " and took the piss out of Hull City.... [ though of course he was a decent player i just couldnt stand the leeds twat ] worst player....as someone said prob mark hatley ...worst manager also...
Hands up who went to Morecambe away in the FA cup the day after we sold Andy Payton and we had a forward line of.....wait for it..... Neil Buckley and Herry Ngata. Nevermind any discussion on individual player's ability, this has to be hands down the worst forward line ever to represent our club.
It's all relative, at least that was a cup game against Morecombe, I still can't believe we went into Premier League games with ***an and Manucho leading the front line.
Do you mean Lee Bracey? He wasnt that bad really. Who was the one Hately signed from Motherwell? I think it was Scott something. He was dogga.
I'm always stunned when these threads appear that names like Lewis or those who've appeared for us in the higher divisions are mentioned. We have such a rich (recent) history in truly dreadful players. Thankfully David Jones & Christian Sampson have already been mentioned, but Robbie Turner (we had him on loan from Cambridge and he was so bad, they let him play against them!), Simon Dakin (career highlight being that he fell down a lift-shaft), Craig Lawford (aside from the cross he provided to allow Fettis to score against Oxford), Jamie Marks are all not fit to tie my boots, never mind proper players I'll also put forward the players to appear in the two worst City games I've ever seen (Can you name them?) Paul Gibson Warren Joyce Neil Mann Matt Hocking Neil Whitworth Steven Hawes Brian McGinty David D'Auria David Brown Craig Dudley Gregor Rioch Or Steve Wilson Adam Lowthorpe Scott Maxfield Michael Edwards Mark Greaves Warren Joyce Richard Peacock Steven Boyak David Brown Brian McGinty Gregor Rioch Whilst those lists surprising contain players who weren't that bad, the two performances of those games were utter s***e
The first one looks to me like Donny away when they were bottom of the entire league by something like 20 points, hadnt won all season and then beat us with just about the last kick of the game. A true low point.
