Mikel Leighterwood - Old “legs of wood”. A championship level midfield enforcer signed to play in a bank of 5 to sneak the odd point away from home in the Prem.
Michael Tonge. Never understood the fuss and thought he was wildly inconsistent and only played for 10-15mins when he fancied it, yet fans seemed to think he was the second coming of Whitehouse.
Plus he ran like his knee caps had been put on backwards.

What do I win?
Probably get slated for this, but I always thought Tonge was overrated, obviously had talent but just didn't cut it for me, and he ran funny, however tin hat on as I expect to be in a very small minority
And I'm an overrated poster for not reading back 2 fucking messages and seeing he had already been mentioned
Now Bert isn't wanting to come all Silent Blade with you, but Francis Lee played just over half his games with Bolton and Derby.Terry Paine - Southampton for example. Billy Bonds - West Ham United. Franny Lee - Man City. Alan Woodward - Sheffield United. Perennial performers, mostly for the same club throughout their careers.
That's true. I remember him finishing his career at Derby. Although I can't remember him playing at Bolton. I do remember him being a perennial figure for Man City though, for many years, from late 60's to mid 70's.Now Bert isn't wanting to come all Silent Blade with you, but Francis Lee played just over half his games with Bolton and Derby.
Really??
I thought KMac was brilliant the season under Danny Wilson. Home & away that season, the football which flowed through him, was excellent.
When he got injured & missed the play off final it was as big a miss as Ched in my opinion.
I thought he was superb & would have been a legend if he hadn't jumped ship as he did.
Agree with that - a very talented player and we missed him massively when he buggered off to Wolves.If anyone couldn't see what a good footballer Kevin McDonald was I think they don't understand the game of football tbh. He was capable of running the show and pulling all the strings from midfield. I really liked him and thought he was a big miss for us too.
There were some dissenters. Radio Sheffield ran an article about KMcD in which they'd questioned his "aggression", suggesting he could perhaps be better at tackling and winning the ball. This quickly became a stick with which to beat him, for some fans. But what those fans fail to acknowledge is that you are not going to get all those qualities in one player - very rare. Some players are aggressive tacklers and ball winners, some are able to dictate the pace of the game and creatively link play. KMcD was the latter.
Did he go missing on occasions? Yes, I think he probably did. Did he have a mercenary attitude? Yes, I think he probably did, again. But was he an excellent footballer who made a huge contribution to the club - Yes definitely.

But point of the thread (as you know, you made it ) is midfielders you never liked and on that score I agree with PeterNdlovu081 - never liked K-Mac, seemed to ooze not giving a shit.
I also found his hair irritating but that is admittedly pretty irrational and not a great reason for disliking him...

Watch the season review clips from 89-92 and see how many goals he set up or was majorly involved in.John Gannon
I just never got what brought to the team, he just seemed to treat the ball like a hot potato. He never looked composed on the ball just used to get rid of it quickly with flick ons more often than not to opposition players.
Go to Davison day. Gathers the ball from throw in, rh side, looks up and floats ball to Davo who nods past England's no1.Watch the season review clips from 89-92 and see how many goals he set up or was majorly involved in.
It was his pass that sent Bryson away after the two pigs collided together and Dane knocked in the rebound in.
Quinny was another excellent player for us. Always wanted the ball & not afraid to make a mistake. Think his willingness to try something different & maybe make a mistake or 2 was why he got stick from some parts (the same parts that slagged Couttsy when he was stuck out on the right).
Thought Quinny, Williamson & KMac were superb that 1st Yr under Wilson.
100% agree with this, I remember Alan Brazil saying on co-comms 'The one thing lacking in Patterson's game...goals' the ONE thing?!?
Also Ian Hamilton (the second one) was awful and (tin hat time) I didn't rate Nick Montgomery.
Is this the same Radio Sheffield that used to argue "... every team needs a Nick Montgomery" .....If anyone couldn't see what a good footballer Kevin McDonald was I think they don't understand the game of football tbh. He was capable of running the show and pulling all the strings from midfield. I really liked him and thought he was a big miss for us too.

I went home & away that 1st year in League 1 & I don't remember KMac going missing much at all.
