Was just slightly before I started supporting charlton that he played for the club so was just wondering why he was considered to be so awful. Didn't he only play a couple of games? (according to wiki), was he worse than Faye or El Khalej??
I saw him play for us at the New Den against Smallwall. That performance was utter cack. If I remember rightly he was caught offside 600 times (or so it seemed).
[cite]Posted By: SilentAddick[/cite]What about Oscar Poulo or something like that (couldn't be arsed to look it up!) from Uruguay -played only half a match before being shipped off...
Omar Pouso, I think he probably wasn't as good as Dowie thought/hope he was (like most of his signings), and English football very different to what he was used to. I think El Khalej was worse in his only appearance.
Omar Pouso played 60 minutes in a three man midfield against Portsmouth and from what I saw apart from being over-run in midfield against an in-form Pompey he didn't look too bad.
I had the ‘pleasure’ of see him in for every second he played for us. Truly awful and is my captain for the worst ever eleven.
Also say him play for the reserves at Welling, was just us bad at that level. At one point he came very close to the dug out and Peacock gave him a right slag off. Had zero affect!
When Curbs loaned sasa Illic to West ham and he let in 4 (?) goals,Curbs response was that he (Curbs) was getting his own back for them loaning us Small.

Going back to the early 80's, my contribution is the totally anonymous Gary Churchmouse - not only had you never heard of him, but you didn't know he was playing even during the game.
Then there was centre-half Steve Dowman some years before that - even though he actually scored for us once, his cock-ups at the back were legendary. He would have made Les Berry look like Rio Ferdinand.
Hey, I'm on a roll here ...... Danny Bailey a forward from QPR on loan who needed 3 touches to control the ball; centre-half Peter Shaw with a waist measurement larger than his chest; a loan centre-half disaster called Lyndsay someone from Colchester who only playe once and was never risked again - still what d'you expect from a bloke with a girls name .....?
And the very much veteran Maurice Setters, who was so arthritic and bandy-legged, that we used to yell at him, "Oi Maurice, where's yer 'orse...?"
I like the fact that they mention George Georgio on the fulham fansite . Played against us in the league cup in 91 , remember at the cotage everyone singing "it's a wig it's a wig it's a wig" cos of his long hair .
Also remembered for the story in the evening standard about him being stopped by the OB for throwing litter out of his sunroof and his excuse was that a cat ran out in front of his car and that it was an instinctive reaction to that!

His performance ay The Den was beyond belief.
And I'd seen Shane Westley.

I didn't think he was that bad...well not as bad as Mr Small!
El Khalej was a close 2nd to Small.
Well said, legend of a song.

"The worst centre-half you'd never heard of", to paraphrase our Mr Murray.
