Danny Webber.

Someone should start a thread that's to name players who weren't epic but would've been if Wilder and Knill were in charge. Be boss tha'.

 

[TJB.]

Save it for the next international break, fella.

 

[SteveBlade]

Save it for the next international break, fella.

You're an international break.

We have almost 24 hours to kill.

Fine, I'll play.

I’m sorry but Paul Beesley is captain of the Players that Started off Average then Sometimes we’re Poor then Finished off Crap XI ...... never been a footballer.

Then somehow got a move up the ladder.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Gareth Taylor

Oh my. That goal v Bassett's Forest side in 97 98 on the day a minute's silence was held for Diana. Fantastic goal. I recall a bizarre goal v Bradford City. Ref deflected a City clearance right to Gareth who steamed ahead and scored. Gareth also replied to a letter of praise from me once.

 

[Guesty]

Mike Lake, surely.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Those goals v Southampton for instance.lake looked briefly like a real goalscorer in the making.

You deserve 20 lashes for firstly putting Don Hutchison on this list, 30 lashes for spelling his name wrong and 40 lashes for putting him next to Darius Henderson!! Henderson wasn’t fit to tie the laces of Hutchison.

Ninety lashes?! I wouldn't be able to sit down for tomorrow's game!

 

[coaxingstar71]

Surely this description fits nearly every blade that's pulled on the red and white?

I think I can summarise it as 'frustrating'.

Sabella - controversial?

 

[Newbury Blade]

Dellas, Hodges, Tuttle, Devlin towards the end, Saunders, Gillespie, Andy Campbell. I'll stop myself now

Campbell? One dribble?

 

[Berlin Blade]

Chris Porter - Joke figure

You beat me to it. I reckon Don Hutchison was the forefather of "Players whose names even their own fans can't spell". Now that would be a good XI - Tongue, Brookes, Jagielielielkaka etc...

Don't you just love people who fail upwards, the bastards...

Don't you just love people who fail upwards, the bastards...

Reminds me of a lady where I used to work. Utterly useless, but had a great work image.

By great work image, she always carried around folders like she was busy and had a habit of visiting the office after work functions to send mails. Giving the impression she was working late.

This was 15 years ago, she's quite high up at the bank now.

 

[I should coco]

Paul Ifill

Mark Yeates

I remember plenty of the 'not good' with the above two, but not so much of the 'good'.

Ifill, a big lad with a great physique but absolutely no heart.

Yeates could dribble around himself all day then finally fall over in front of a bemused opponent. His lack of end product made JCR look like David Beckham.
