As I'm sure you can all now tell, I love a good poll, and I also love a good moan. So here's my latest one, who is the worst player you have seen play for us in recent years?
In terms of sheer uselessness, it has to be Pawel Abbott. He scored a brilliant goal in PP's last match, but that was like putting a truffle on a dog poop.
Piggybaink, although Faye runs him a very close second... Shocked and horrified to see Chris Dickson' name included BTW - our loss is Nea Salamis Famagusta's gain. PE, your way with words would shame Oscar Wilde at his most sublime.
Definitely, PE! Here's one of my favourites from Wilde - "I think that God, in creating Man, somewhat overestimated his ability."
JFH was by far the worst player of recent memory. I remember Richard Murray stating that after 2 years of courtship we finally got our man....I wonder if was still as buoyed by his signature after he threw half the squad wages his way.
Indeed a fine quote, Tewks. For Charlton supporters - Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. (Oscar Wilde)
I was at Sparrows Lane (the saturday we signed him) watching the U18's and one of the coaches turned to the other and said "I hear the lad from West Ham [Frank Nouble] is starting up front this afternoon - a big unit to cause problems with their defence" Did nobody watch him play prior to us signing him on loan?
It's been a long list of flops these last few years, I guess you have to separate the expensive, highly paid flops like JFH from the non league flops like Dickson. Players not on that list include Varney (for £2.5m) , Andy Gray (£1m) But worse than them, I can't believe you didn't mention Izale McLeod!
Frank Nouble without a doubt! Absolutely shocking!! Plus Carlton Cole is up there as well, what a load of turd he was for us!
