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.

Shocker

 

[essexblade73]

Ashley Ward

 

[Gimli]

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

Get the statue erected in the car park!

 

[kevreedy]

How about this forward line Bourne Butlin and Guy.

 

[RossoDeltic]

Ian Rush is a great shout. In a similar vein, another big nose Scouser from the 80s, Phil 'I don't want to be here' Thompson.

From the noughties, Carney, Beattie (C), Harper, Horsefield.

Actually far too many to choose from and its making me cross.

Anyone who saw Rush play at QPR in the evening fixture will no doubt vote for him.

Shocker

I followed the thread back to give the poster a 'like' I'd already done it. Not sure if he was the first invisible man we played but he was one.

 

[8lade]

How about this forward line Bourne Butlin and Guy.

I thought Bourne was ok, scored 11 I think in about 15 games then probably another 1 or 2 until the end of the season.
For some reason Barry Butlin thought you got something for hitting the woodwork.
And Mike Guy well I imagine the 18 grand fee went along way to sustaining his club in Ireland (Coleraine I think it was but my memory sometimes betrays me).

 

[Hague Blade]

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

I’ve seen Matty Harriot playing for Bedford Town the last couple of seasons. Two appearances for the mighty Blades back in the day, but I’m afraid he doesn’t look much good even at Step 4 level these days.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Paul Richardson , Dennis Longhorn , Phil Starbuck, Paul Williams , Derek Richardson, Andy Keeley , Craig Renwick , Steve Finieston , I could go on & on ......

Like just for mentioning Phil Starbuck

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Just scanned through this post and bloody hell we've had some shite over the years.

No doubt in a couple of years time the likes of McBurnie etc. will be added to the list!

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Brian Landers.

 

[Muttley]

Andy Barnsley

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Tony Philliskirk, Ray Lewington, Richard Cadette, Vincent Pericard, Paul Williams, Ian Rush, Peter Withe, Martin Kuhl, Wally Downes, Conor Sammon, Nicky Marker.

 

[kevreedy]

Stewart Housten.Pedro Verde.Don Givens.Steve Charles.Tony Moore.Douggie Brown.Richardson-gk.

 

[Rooks]

Nicky Marker won POY, Wally Downes & Paul Williams were ok.

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

Tommy Mooney, on loan.

Mooney was one of those strikers Warnock had been after for years, then signed them when they were past it. I remember him playing in the FA Cup against Walsall. One of the most one sided games I’ve seen (not sure they ever got out of their half), Mooney had umpteen gold plated chances before he finally managed to score one.
Another loanee for me, Andy Morrison. Built like a nightclub bouncer rather than a footballer.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

The Jones boy.

 

[Rooks]

If Vinnie Jones hadn't joined United we would have been relegated the 1990/1991 season.

 

[Silent Blade]

If Vinnie Jones hadn't joined United we would have been relegated 1990/1991 season.

Signing Hodges was the turning point. He, Deane and Tracey were our best three players that season

 

[Rooks]

Agree Silent, Harry signed Vinnie to be his leader on and off the pitch.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Tony Philliskirk, Ray Lewington, Richard Cadette, Vincent Pericard, Paul Williams, Ian Rush, Peter Withe, Martin Kuhl, Wally Downes, Conor Sammon, Nicky Marker.

Nicky Marker!?!? Great player for us.

I’ll give you Wally Downes. He must have our record for Yellow & red cards per games played. And we got bummed by Leeds in one of his red card games.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Nicky Marker!?!? Great player for us.

I’ll give you Wally Downes. He must have our record for Yellow & red cards per games played. And we got bummed by Leeds in one of his red card games.

I think I meant Nicky Henry, Nicky Marker was good like you say.

 

[foggy72]

Andy Campbell signed on loan from Middlesbrough, shit and ginger so not many redeeming features.

 

[Revolution]

Anyone who saw Rush play at QPR in the evening fixture will no doubt vote for him.

He actually got an assist in that game - played a 1-2 with Saunders for our first goal.

 

[dn5 shaun]

Tony Moore, worst player ever to play for us.

close but not quite, hard to believe theres probably 50 others worse or equal

 

[dn5 shaun]

Anybody remember Martin Smith? Did we sign him from Huddersfield, or did he go to Huddersfield? Anyway, he wasn't very good, but neither were we at the time!

at sunderland he was regarded as the white PELE haha

 

[dn5 shaun]

Many older Blades will remember. Lee Baxter (GK). Arrived from Sweden 4 December 2003. Played Burnley (A) K.O. 15:00, 6 December 2003. Two absolute howlers in the first half. Subbed at 15:45. Never played again. Flew back to Sweden before the New Year.

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

 

[dn5 shaun]

Tbf though, no one can really say that Thirlwell was shit though, as they would have needed to see him kick the feckin ball at some point, and the jury is out on whether anyone actually saw the lazy arsed twat ever do that in a Utd shirt.

A few names from me, Lee Baxter, Andy Goram, Andy Leaning, Andy Barnsley, Paul Richardson, Tony Moore, Steve Charles, Paddy McGeeny, Mark Blount, Mark Foran, Paul fall on mi arse Williams, Barry Butlin, Jordan Stewart, Marcus Williams, Nyron Nosworthy, Mark the coward Howard, Phil Thompson, Tony Towner, Steve Cammack, Pedro Verde, Les Tibbott, Johnthan Cullen, Cliff Powell, Peter Withe, Wally Downes, Darren Carr, Davy Gijetbrechts, Axel Smeets, Terry Cunt-an, Derek Richardson, Michael Twiss, Billy Paynter, Simon Lappin, Johannes Ertl, Darryl Westlake, Marlon King, Michael Hippo Higdon, Jay McEveley, Dean Hammond, Don Peattie, Stewart Houston, Jimmy Johnstone, Steve Faulkner, Trenton Wigan, Martyn Woolford, Len de Goey, Laurent Tenshovels, Jeff Eckhardt, and Ian Hamilton.

Total shite, every one of em.

was going to mention steve charles no need to bother now

 

[dn5 shaun]

Didn’t Tibbott play in midfield for us as well as LB? Always picking up knocks?

no but he used to get caught out in midfield back-tracking

 

[dn5 shaun]

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

terry garbage was his name
