The problem with these types of debates is one has to decide whether context matters - if not then almost by definition no player who featured in the Premiership can be amongst the worst. Similarly any player merely adequate in the third tier must be amongst the worst even if relatively popular.
Churchouse and Jacobsen were a class apart. Shoo-ins for every all time worst side me and my mates put together over a 30 year period. Tony Towner slaughtered us when he played for Rotherham but was truly abysmal for us - he couldn't seem to get the ball off the deck. Paul Bacon was pretty poor as well.
Going a bit obscure here, we had a bloke on loan called Peter O'Sullevan who had a good career elsewhere but was hopeless in a red shirt. I actually thought Racon was bloody useless as well, despite everyone telling me he was a genius (apart from Bolloxbolder who was er, never convinced).
No one comes close to Amdy Faye - worst midfielder , worst player I have ever had the misfortune to see play for Charlton in 30 + years of watching the Addicks.

O'Sullivan came from Brighton didn't he? I only remember him playing once but he was so bad it stuck in the memory. Early 80s - Mountfield, I think his name was. Pretty poor - played in the team that lost 7-0 at Brighton.
There is no way Rommedahl deserves to be any where near this thread! He may not have been the best player but is no where near the level of McCormack, Racon, Sinclair, Faye etc.

Disappointments for me were:
Rommedahl
Thomas after his early promise
McCormack
Racon
Scott Sinclair
Redfearn (albeit was played out of position)
Matt Spring or McCormack I think.
Has to Mcoxo V Faye for me.

You have to admit that dennis did nothing for us and was a poor midfielder
Might not have been the worst but the most disapointing
