Almost all the names on the "Worst ever player" are mainly people who only played just a handful of games for Town and it's quite hard to judge a player on such few appearances.

I was just interested in which players who played regularly for Town over a number of years, people though were the worst.

Fully agree.

Great link as well - boring boring Sladeball! We have never had it so good since.


I never really got the Sladeball thing - in the main I enjoyed Town's performances under Russell. Yeah, there were some games which were poor to watch but that's more indicative of League Two football than a particular regime. I can remember us playing some pretty attractive, not to mention effective, football at times that season.

Problem was, I believe, given our swift demise from the second tier, that people were comparing performances to those of our Div One days - which is just unfair and unrealistic. With an insight into what was to follow, I genuinely think opinion would've been different.

Ain't hindsight a wonferful thing...

Fair enough mate.

I will go for Antoine Curier then.

I think too many people had written him off after his first season and saw his tactics, ones that were efficient and did lead to enjoyable, attacking football, as an easy stick to beat him with, rather than admit they might have been wrong.

Town fans eh?

Oops wrong thread!

Whay is there 2 on almost exactly the same thing?!


To be fair, the game Ameobi played against Barnet felt like it lasted for 5 seasons. Ameobi's "performance" was nothing short of paedophilic, revolting, humiliating, racist, tragic, comedic and heart breaking. Not all of those things make sense. That's how bad he was.

Never in a million years is Tom Newey the worst GTFC player.

He really is a revolting, racist peado you're right.

On the Tom Newey side of things, it amazes me that people slate him so badly without a word about his predecessor. Ronnie Bull, come on down...

Now there was a shít footballer - his performance against Bury away on Good Friday a few years back was both one of the funniest and saddest things I've ever seen happen on a football pitch. Honestly, if you'd have slapped a Town shirt onto a downs syndrome monkey and stuck him into the starting line-up instead, you'd have seen a creature running around with more method and intellect that day.

Woeful ain't the word.
