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

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

was player of year at charlton

 

[BerksBlade]

was there for that one, cant remember who replaced him at ht but i have it in my mind that he was shite n all

Alan Fettis, wasn't it? Think he only played a couple of games after the Burnley debacle.

Actually, given some of the cack we've had to endure prior to the last decade I think a better title would be "medium mode"!

For me, one player stands out as the very definition of shit.

His name? Ian Rush.

Now he wasn't always pony, in fact in his heyday he was one of the greats, but he was well past his sellby date when he arrived at the Lane. Still, like most kids I was excited to see such a big name starring for little old Sheffield United.

I would be very disappointed. Knees had gone (although that isn't necessarily the hallmark of a bad player- we had McGrath around the same time), no sense of direction, no eye for goal, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Mercifully, he only played four matches on loan from Newcastle before going back to his homeland to struggle to find his level at Wrexham.

And after that, did we break our habit of signing players who were well past it? Of course not. That policy only went out of the window with Wilder, and while we do have some old uns on our current playing staff, at least they're good.

£s per bucket of shite Ade Akinbiyi........ apart from one goal

John Ebrell.

£1m, for 45 minutes.

But what an immense 45 minutes that was though. If he wasn't a crock he could've been a legend!

Can’t be bothered to trawl through the posts..

Have Andy Barnsley and Jonathan Hunt been mentioned?

Not sure you have the right grammar filter for this site.

It's 'could of'.
Like 'would of' or 'should of'.

Like the sentiment though.

Jordan Stewart. Absolute gash.

Reminds me of Lowe

 

[Jon B]

Whitehurst. Offered nowt as a footballer and the only thing anyone remembers about him is threatening to chin Neil Ruddock.

I always assumed we signed him as a frightener and disrupter who we'd use when necessary, to make oppo defenders more concerned with when he was going to smash into them than with doing their job.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a good enough thug at the top level to distract 'em enough.
