Blades players who were utterly shit with no redeeming qualities whatsoever (hard mode- nobody from the last decade)

[Lane Ender]

Tony Moore, worst player ever to play for us.

100%

Might have been put on here, can't remember.
Interesting.

Remember Franks scoring the equaliser at Millwall in a 1-1 draw we were in the side stand no celebration

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Take your pick from this crap Trusson Kenyworthy and possibly Mcphail exempt

Most of those were nearly as bad as that kit, and that’s saying something.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Side note: He played for us before I was born but Andy Leaning was my Goalkeeping coach when I played in Chesterfield's development teams and I've resented him ever since. Very much from the 'drill sergeant school of coaching, never any praise or encouragement which was a bit OTT for 10-14yr old kids. Must have done something right to land a job coaching for us.

Throwing David Sommeil into the ring. Another 'good signing on paper', a right back with top flight experience and having played at Marseille and Bordeaux. Nope, he was slow, never got close to his man defending and doubt he got forward enough to put a cross in. Lasted 5 games before being bombed out for Kozluk - think he made one more appearance that season as a centre-back in the FA Cup to Swansea (Then of League 1)

I had Steve Conroy as my GK coach during my early days as a young un on Utd books Uhlenbeek .. great bloke complete opposite of Leanings approach & still worked you hard & passed on his experience .. as you rightly say as a young un you need more encouragement than bollockings .. carrot over stick approach every time for me

 

[MorettiBlade]

David Weir's bulk haul of shite.....

Jasper John's.... yeah exactly, who?
Stephen McGinn......ermmm
Sean McGinty......oh dear
Fabian Brandy.....best of a bad bunch.

Ohhh.....those dark, dark days!

Interesting to hear the player's side of things. So he signed and then the manager left and the new manager was someone he had a bad relationship with from a previous club.

 

[mancunianblade]

There is a long list, one I'm going to throw into the mix that I don't think Ive read here...Jean Calve.

Scored that goal on this debut was it and then disappeared?

 

[Escafeld]

Barry Hales - remember being quite excited when he signed but he didn't last long at all. Was shipped out to Millwall after a few short weeks at the Lane.

Although to be fair McGinn and McGinty have made reasonable careers for themselves albeit at lower levels

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

If no ones mentioned him already. I nominate

Mark Rankine

I can’t say anything else as I have to go and be sick

Totally , utterly fucking useless and yet chosen by Warnock to play ahead of Stuart McCall in the vital play off against Wolves .

I rest my case , your Honour .

Only United!!! Been said many a time, certainly seems to fit here me thinks. Oh! and my choice for this thread, despite his extensive inclusion, which means someone though differently, Bobby Ford.

 

[Kelso]

I say it every time this topic comes up. The worst footballer ever to pull on a United shirt. Terry Garbutt.

 

[8lade]

So what does the team look like?
Can anybody dispute Lee Baxter in goal? I think Tony Moore was a defender, Hammond, Thirlwell in midfield, maybe Craig Beattie up front.

No doubt Baxters performance was abject, but mercifully that was the only chance he ever got to show it. Personally I'd select my 11 from hell based on being consistently terrible.

In my time, we have done reasonably well for goalkeepers. The only reason I havent picked Derek Richardson is because the performances of the guy I have chosen are a little fresher in my mind.

Andy Leaning, step forward.

Ok, I can live with Baxter not making the team given he only ever played 45 minutes but was Leaning worse than Nicky Johns?
Edit: I think those would be the contenders Baxter, Johns, Leaning, Richardson.

I never saw John's play for us but plenty of evidence from views i trust that he was shite

honestly it ruined my day when he ran out that tunnel in the starting 11 for that game!

That and Paddy Kenny wearing blue instead of green.... just knew we wouldn’t win.

 

[bonnet de douche]

Paul Parker - wanker
Rush
Uhlenbeek
Nosworthy
Withe
Thompson - massive wanker
Barnsley
Wiiliams

 

[Big Hitter]

Nick Montgomery, and before you say 'not in the last decade', he was so fucking shite that he offered fuck all for years, way before 2010.

You are bloody right. Montgomery couldn't, pass, shoot or tackle. What about Paddy Buckley, the flying pig.?

 

[DronnieBlade]

Been some gud uns but Hammond does stand out.

Someone is presently auditioning to usurp .

UTB

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Monty could pass and tackle!

He spent most of every game tackling the opposing player he'd just passed to!

 

[kevreedy]

Duggie Brown.Tony Moore.Mick Guy.Bourne Butin Verdi.Hammond.Guthrie.Finniston. and a few more who i carnt be arsed to list.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Tommy Mooney, on loan.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Dezzy Hamilton. Loan.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Phil Thompson
Martin Peters
Stu Houston.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I know less than ten years, but surely the horrible Marlon King should get a mention.

HH

 

[AlienWoodward]

In no particular order
Steve Ludlam
Chris Guthrie
Dennis Longhorn

 

[Big Hitter]

I was going to nominate Bill Punton but then remembered he scored the only goal from 0.5 metres out at the Kop end to beat the pigs circa 1967

 

[Bayingblade]

Can't be bothered to trawl through the whole lot but I assume Martin Woolford is mentioned. If not, here we go, if he has been mentioned, then he deserves another one because he was truly as bad as anything I've seen in a Blades shirt....

And I've seen some fucking rubbish

 

[pudseyblade]

I delved down to the depths of hell to find these.

Marcel Seip
Toni Kallio
Kingsley James
Aymen Tahar
Matthew Spring
John Halls
Evan Horwood
Phil Barnes
Tommy Johnson
Carl Robinson
Grant Smith
Richard Edgehill
Lewis Killeen
Andy Smith

I haven't made these people up, they all actually played first team football for Sheffield United.

I'm currently watching Evan Norwood play for West Auckland Town away to 1874 Northwich in the FA Vase
