We've had some shockers over the last few years. I've watched Town regularly since about 1987. I genuinely cannot remember a worse player than Paul Dixon. He was shocking and looked several leagues out of his depth. He got turned inside out, beaten for pace over short and medium distances, always blowing out of his bottom, couldn't pass the ball ten yards and fell over a lot.

I am delighted to see him gone, only bad side is he will have been paid off. He doesn't deserve a penny. How he's played at a higher level, and somehow played in the championship is beyond my understanding. Just 31 years old as well. He's definitely earned a starting place in my worst ever Grimsby eleven beating Menno Willems by some distance for the number 3 jersey.


Willems was a central midfielder.

He had some quite serious injury problems in 2015/16 at Huddersfield which was why he was available on trial. I would guess that these affected his performances. No point in bad-mouthing the bloke for trying to patch up his career at his age.  Maybe he should have been more honest with himself and the club and left in the summer, he might have picked up a club in Scotland and Town would have had a space for a LB but it’s history now.

Andrew Fox!

Not unless Fox has had extensive skin whitening treatment and changed his name in the meantime...definitely not. I may have dreamt it but i am sure there was a slightly built left sided player on trial at the same time...he may have been a winger now i think of it.

Fox was on trial that summer but Slade went for Dixon instead. There was a young lad from down south (possibly ex Palace Jason Akiotu.

Maybe not the best but don’t feel he needs the slating he is getting on here. I would like to say thanks for the effort and all the best for the future.

I've tried Hagrid, but I cannot remember anyone worse. All about opinion of course. Can you name maybe half a dozen worse? I'd be interested.


Peter Beagrie isn’t far off it not worse,
