    Where to start?


    Small, Nouble, Faye, Hasselwank, Traore, M Bent, Dickson, McLeod, 

    Dugdale, Churchouse, Abrahams, P O'Sullivan, Milne, Friar, Lindsay Smith (you all seem to have forgotten how shite he was),

    Simeon Hodson, Alan McLeary (him & Chappell together gave me heart-failure sometimes).



    Better stop here, altho I'm sure there are more names to mention
    I was trying to remember this bloke's name - Peter O'Sullivan - I think he came from Brighton. Played one game and was so bad he was never seen again. There was a right back named Hammond about that time as well and he was dire. Glad to see my namesake getting a dishonourable mention too.

    is the wrong answer.
    Is out of contract. Would sign him.
    Not sure why. Since he left us he has played 5 games in 5 different competitions, zero clean sheets, one draw and four defeats, the highlight a first half sending off for carlisle against southampton before half time. Falling faster down the leagues than us.

    JFH wasn't even that bad. He scored a few and was a team player. He only seemed bad because of his reputation and the fact he failed to deliver his promise. If he'd come from low league or youth team and had had the same record then no one would be calling him the worst player

    "Few" being the operative word here. And I believe I am right in saying that almost all, if not all, the goals he scored were against teams he'd played for in the past. Before he came to us he had always got into double figures for any team he'd played for in the Premiership, but he got nowhere near that with us. The one positive he brought was that they started to make the shorts in larger sizes.

    The McOxo thing refers to a tweet after the Swindon debacle where rather than atone, apologise or just keep a low profile he boasted that he was taking his wife to the Oxo Tower for an anniversary dinner.

    Agree Traore and Faye were rubbish but surely they would be decent playing for our current team. McCormack has to be up there using this rationale.

    'Ohh Matron'!
  • I agree with Penfold's Perm - Greg Halford. I only got to see him a couple of times, but that was enough to convince me of his total lack of ability.

    Greenie - Peter Shaw may have been a bit dodgy to start with, but he was magnificent during the Division Three promotion season.

    All I remember was that he had a long throw. A sort of shit Rory Delap - which isn't saying much! Cook was a far worse loan at that time though.

    Peter Shaw, bless. He gave it all and improved.
    McOxo is right up there.

    I'm sure it all goes back to when I was a little lad but whoever pulls on our shirt gets my full support and even a little bit of hero worship. I've seen lots of players since I started attending 50 years ago and some I like more than others but that's about as far as my criticism extends. I just can't bring myself to boo or dislike any of them.

    Hasselbaink scored 2 goals in 25 premiership appearances for us.  He did himself no favours at all (at least from our perspective) by refusing to celebrate either of them.  Still I'm sure Chelsea and Middlesboro still love him.  To be fair he did get a couple of cup goals as well - at least one of which I remember spared as one of those embarassing-Charlton-cup moments.  Can't think who it was against off the top of my head though.

    Hard to choose.

    Barry Endean has to be up there and, given the relative cost of him at a time we were poor, Terry Bullivant. Gary Churchouse and Richard Wilson were pretty awful too.

    Ask me tomorrow and I'll name some more!

    Barry Endean ! Lived off one goal he scored for Watford v Liverpool before he joined us I believe. How many games did it take before he scored for us ? Statto please ;0)

    Chesterfield IIRC.
  • Tony Towner.

    Tony Towner was a Brighton legend
    Barry Endean a name any Watford fan will conjure with
    Dunphy, Mehmet and Brisley, Lions to the core

    But how many clubs are there cursing the purchase of a Charlton cult hero?

    Deadly Derek didn't exactly cut the mustard for Derby County (or West Ham for that matter)?
    Any other suggestions?

    Mark Reid was derided at Celtic yet was a star for us.

    Killer still managed 1 goal in 3 games at Derby and West Ham.He just did better than that for us. Barry Endean managed 1 in 27 I think!
  • What about Todorov or Luke Varney?

    With hindsight this was undoubtedly one of the worst days in our more recent past. Take your pick as to which one was the shittest.

    John Barnes may have been past his best, but my recollection from the only game I saw him play for us was that he was the only real quality player we had.
