Jamal Fyfield is the worst footballer I have seen in a Town shirt.
Tommy Forecast is by far the worst player I have ever seen in a Town shirt.
|
| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

To be fair Ive never given him a hard time because of his attitude, he gets stick from me because he's the worst player I've ever seen play for us - 30yrs. In the worst team. I'm sure if I was picking up that sort of money for doing fack all, my attitude would be pretty good Attitude? The man doesnt even look fit
He's superfit and meant to be a top professional. The only issue is he is 34 years old, it comes to us all. Look at recruitment and retainment. We let our outstanding players who are proven such as Charles Vernam, Jake Hessenthaler, Padraig Amond etc's contracts expire and we lose them. Yet we sign players like Green, the goals had dried up, he was 32 sitting on a National League teams bench and we go in with a two year contract. Madness, but Matt Green's fault it definitely is not.

Murray Jones probably the worst striker I’ve seen for town
One of the acquisitions based upon one good performance against us - for Exeter. Jimmy Gilligan was another. Had a great game for Watford in the Cup against us. Was utterly shite for us - worse than Murray Jones. To be fair we were Division 2 but I think I'd say Murray Jones was Buckley's worst signing rather than our worst ever striker. As for Matt Green, I'd say there have been a good few worse. I agree he's been terrible value for the decent whack that he is on. Perhaps with the right partner upfront on a regular basis he may have been able to do a better job for us. I actually think he's a pretty good finisher, but certainly not the right player as a lone frontman.

Conlon and Sweeney weren’t bad players (Sweeney in particular was quite talented), they were just terrible professionals. That said, if we’re even just talking strikers, there’s no shortage of players who would be higher up the chart of talentless wasters than Matt Green.
Shaun Tuton, Damian Spencer, Serge Makofo, Tom Corner, Tomi Ameobi, Chris Llewelyn, Chris Jones, Ben Wright, Rob Duffy to name just a handful.
Add Anthony Elding to that list. Shite and a helmet to.

18 goals in 59 appearances. Not too shabby. May have been a helmet, no idea, but I don't recall any incident that made me think so.

Was it him that showed his bottom to the Lincoln fans ? Or was it someone else.

Not a chance...Tony Caldwell....one of Buckleys early signings, played him once maybe twice...realised what a big mistake he had made and was never seen again. Looked like he had just strolled into Blundell Park by mistake on his way to Sidney Park or Sussex Rec.

I think you'll find even Buckley thought Tony Caldwell was his worst signing, but a good bit of business as he swapped him for Scott Magarvey, then sold him to Stockport.

Mark Nicholl by a distance. We played Palace at home, they had Mikkel Forsel and we had Nicholl, both on loan from Chelsea. One of them was a footballer, the other was a fraud. Guess which one we got. What a dog!!
