I know you never liked him, but I'm afraid he doesn't even make the top hundred worst players we've had at City.
It can only be one of Ritchie Appleby/Matt Wicks/Simon Walton. All complete gash, the fact they keep Jamie Wood and Jason Harris out of the list is infuckingcredible utter ****e.
My f*cking God, I remember those two monstrosities. They joined soon after I started going to watch City, absolutely awful
Can we put Martin Reeves, Michael Reddy, Phil Jevons, Adam Bolder (harsh but true), Gary Bradshaw, Russell Fry, Yann Ekra and Danny Coles into that list please? AND the one that sticks out in my mind; who scored two goals against Scunny 9 years ago... on loan from Wolves. Michael Branch!
Michael Branch I dunno if you count Reddy. How many games did he play for us? Wasn't that many surely. I always used to get pissed off at Matt Glennon. His kicking was awful.
I'm with you on Deacy though that is 30 years ago, not 20. He was heralded as the next big thing and was awful. The whole Mike Smith era was the pits. Still when Keith Edwards tore his shirt off when subbed and threw it at Smith, I wrote to the club and offered to buy it and ended up with a rare Adidas 80-81 (? of maybe 81-82) striped number 9 shirt.
Matt Glennon was pretty damn bad. Was he as bad as Stuart Brock though... another name to throw into the hat!
I can only remember him coming from the Mackems and playing against Halifax. I was only young at the time and didn't go to away matches then, so can't remember many of his appearances.
Not sure about that. He was a teenager playing for a side at the bottom of the whole league and played well enough to go to Derby in a £4-500k deal.
But having gone from being Derby's captain to only playing for Burton isn't a reflection on how he played for us.
Not a bad point. I wouldn't put him in the worst players list whatsoever... I'm just saying the "one of the future" tag is a bit off for him.
Anyone whose city career ends due to falling down a lift shaft deserves a mention: Simon Dakin. Plus that other terrible full back of the 90s, jug-eared Trevitt, can't remember his first name - Simon?
For ****s sake, Iain Hesford left in 91. Misses out by one poxy year. Ok, Jon French, Amr Zaki, Chris Lee, David Lee and Jamie Wood to name a few.
