Other then the ones mentioned. Martin Reeves was pretty bad. Jan Molby signed Shaun Smith and Greg Strong on big money and they where awful. I was excited when we signed Richard Sneekes, but again was poor. I remember him driving to win a penalty at Boothferry Park, I think it was against Rushden and Diamonds.
I would agree, other than for his match winning performance at Sincil Bank, in goal! Lee Bracey Mark Hately
Surely it HAS to be Steve Swailes. ****e, but still somehow managed to feature as a first team regular. Those were dark days.
It's John Moore. It has to be John Moore. Or David Jones, but remember reading. Story about David Jones upset after a game as the fans were on his back and think he'd played under duress whilst injured. John Moore once got sent off, seem to remember it was a reserve game but might be wrong. He was really useless. Did we get him and Hesford in a swap deal for Norman which made up £200k of the £400k we received. Was a long time ago though.
I think we signed him for about 25k from Sunlan in a separate deal prior to Hesford/Whitehurst coming.
Tony Finnegan if he'd been half as good as he obviously thought he was, he'd still have been total ****e! Going back a bit further, Dave Sunley and Jimmy McGill. On a slightly different note, I remember Andy Saville coming on for his debut at BP and people laughing because he was just running around like a headless chicken but he went on to have a pretty decent career.
Craig ***sy ***end ***an. An utter utter ****. Probably still thinks he should be premier league, even though he should have never played in it. The most odious **** i have ever clapped eyes upon. Scum sub human scum.
Junior Lewis hands down for me. Not only was he completely useless (even my wife had a good laugh when she saw him crabbing around the midfield) but he was a nasty piece of work, always waving his arms and pointing at others blaming them for his mistakes. Loathsome individual. Seems he had some hold over Taylor though...took the bastard with him wherever he went.
You guys have short memories. The guy who wins this hands down with a gold medal and bar has to be none other than Caleb Folan who was born offside and injured. This guy could not get his left leg to go in the general direction of his right leg and did a commendable impersonation of a Swiss army knife when he ran. Nobody, including Caleb, knew where the ball was going when he kicked it. His best era was with Colorado Rapids in the Mickey Mouse League where he scored 6 goals from 26 appearances which eclipsed his period with us when he miraculously scored 11 goals from 55 appearances. Should have been arrested and jailed for trying to impersonate a footballer.
Obviously all you lot are to young to remember our worst ever centre half pairing c.1980 or there abouts; Steve Deere Steve Richards Both woeful and streets behind anyone we have had over the last decade or so - including Walton and Lewis!!!!!
With Walton excluded? I'd have to say Junior Lewis. I just remember him being an absolute donkey, who's legs were too long to dribble with the ball.
