This might be controversial but.....

Kevin McDonald

 

[WhiteHawk]

[away ends always empty.]

[Ben_1982]

Kevin McDonald

Never understood the fawning over him.

ALWAYS went missing when things went pear shaped.

 

[sheffielder]

Barry Hayles
Paul Coutts

 

[Lmaobob]

Dean Hammond

 

[s4-blade]

Last season's Paul Coutts. In fact, last season's entire squad.

Original post said Don Hutchinson, as i remembered him saying derogatory things about us after he left, but i can't find the quote now, so i'll change my answer. Nyron Nosworthy, never seemed like he actually cared. Or maybe he was just that bad.

I never got the sense that Hammond's heart wasn't in it tbf. I think he tried his best but his legs and ability had just gone.

Let's not confuse this with how he behaved over his contract after Wilder was appointed. That was shitty and the thing that really pissed everyone off. But most players would have done the same in similar circumstances.

 

[Ricky]

Darryl Westlake. Tosser.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Do these pointless threads ever annoy you?

 

[Tyler Durden]

The gormless jug-eared scumbag who recently signed for Birmingham. The most odious piece of shit ever to befall this club. I hope he gets what he fully deserves.

Good shout Tyler. That cocky twat could sign for Barca and still think he was doing them a favour.

 

[Baaaaaaa Blades]

Claus Davies , there's plenty others can't think right now !

 

[bertieblade]

Jeff Bourne, came for the money and wanted a free ride, never broke sweat and neshed every challenge

 

[mattco2001]

Paul Devlin (toward the end of his stay). I seem to remember him getting too big for his boots and getting booed off at a night game. (I was only a young lad at the time so I maybe wrong).

He did indeed, if I remember rightly he was hauled off before half-time after strolling around once it was known that Birmingham were in for him.

I'm sure someone else will have a better recollection and amend accordingly.

 

[1973Blade]

Terry Curran has since said he regretted joining us and he played like it!

 

[Sean Thornton]

Claus Davies , there's plenty others can't think right now !

That German bloke?

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Leon Britton. Scurried off back to Swansea post haste

 

[ThroughThinAndThinner]

I think for a player to think the club was beneath them they have to have had an air of not having to try to get selected so...
Lee Hendrie
James Harper
Stand out as obvious examples. Feel Like Britton is a bit harsh, he never settled here and was never going to flourish under Blackwell.

 

[Wapping Blade]

Paul Devlin (toward the end of his stay). I seem to remember him getting too big for his boots and getting booed off at a night game. (I was only a young lad at the time so I maybe wrong).

I remember having a reight go at him for not giving a toss and getting him sen sent off away at Wolves.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Jimmy Johnstone
Here's one that might raise a few eyebrows but Kenworthy said in his book that he wasn't up for the fight.... Sabella.

Paul Devlin (toward the end of his stay). I seem to remember him getting too big for his boots and getting booed off at a night game. (I was only a young lad at the time so I maybe wrong).

Paul Devlin - I think he's the earliest player I can remember not being able to understand why they were playing for us at all, never saw anything good from him.

It's worth noting I was about 9 at the time and only started going to games towards the end of his stay, he may have been better in earlier years.

As for my nomination for this thread? Mark Yeates would be up there I think, and David Cotterill. Starting to think I don't like midfielders.

Was against Watford who he later joined.

 

[boo radley]

Matt Kilgallon Mercenary footballer.

 

[JohnDenver]

Don Hutchison played well beneath his ability for us. Keef after relegation was atrociously uncommitted. Phil Bardsley couldn't muster a jog back into position for us, the big time twat. Whereas Jonathan Hunt appeared to genuinely dislike playing for us.

Could go on for ages, but it's late....

I think he tried desperately hard. It was painful to watch and Adkins shouldn't have put him through it.
