On the back of a shoutbox question I asked, and given that JLT has made over 100 appearances for United despite being utter dog turd. I want to know which cheeky little scamp has managed to pull the wool over a managers eye's so much he can be rightly said to be our worst ever player with more than 100 appearances for us to his name?

Link of a list of all players with more than 100 appearances is below:

List of Sheffield United F.C. players - Wikipedia

I'm saying JLT gets an honourable mention, but he's no Ryan Flynn or Michael Doyle. For number of appearances to shitness ratio, our very own traffic cone takes some beating, but Monty has some nostalgic wonderment to him and his complete lack of football ability so he gets a pass from me (which he would then mis control or boot down the line for Nuddy) so it's not him.

I think overall Doyle gets my vote for our worst.

Over to you.

In my time supporting and watching live I would say Houston, Bromby, Matthews and Collins.
 
I don't understand all the hate for simonsen , he kept 15 clean sheets in the regular season, 3 clean sheets in 3 games in playoffs and saves 2 penalties in a shoot out , but because the regular penalty takers were wank we end,up at sudden death and yes he skied his effort but he's a keeper he's not meant to be taking penalties and I'd say he probably very rarely practiced them , in the same way if we had put a striker in goal we would probably would have lost in the regular shootout as he wouldn't have saved the 2 simonsen saved

Steve Simonsen for me. A very solid provider of gash performances, with an emphatic penalty miss as the icing on the incredibly shitty cake

Correct answer. My unprovable belief is that with a quality keeper we quite likely don’t end up in league 1 to begin with, and absolutely get promoted at the first attempt.

Goalies are so important.

I don’t hate him at all. The fact he missed that pen is neither here nor there to me. He was capable of great saves too.

But in the relegation season there were numerous games where the opposition scored with their first attempt and the team deflated in front of our eyes. And the fact a 17 year Long dislodged him for a while in L1 tells the story there.

The keepers we had between Paddy and Moore were a huge part of our decline.

My point is he is nowhere near one of the worst players to have made 100 appearances, if he scored that penalty no one would have him on the list , he wasn't that bad , wasn't great either but that penalty miss tarnishes his time with us way way more than it should in many fans eyes, also I think long dislodged Howard and not simonsen , simonsen was pretty much ever present that season

His hoofed hooked ball over his right shoulder was the bain of watching sheff united for a while. No composure but lets get up the field, majority on this forum could do that. Suppose some of us have a low barometer on what a footballer should offer

The nadir of Elpiton's career, no doubt at the instruction of the former Non- League, Semi'Pro, reserve goalkeeper in charge at the time.

Breath of fresh air when he made his first appearances for us in the PL season, went onto better things post Blackwell and returned to the top flight with Hull, noticably not celebrating what should have been a highlight- scoring in an F.A Cup semi- final.

Paul Rogers was the original Elpiton. Has the over shoulder hoof down to an artform.
 

Some reyt contenders from the dross in the league one years, older fans will no doubt have a compilation of shit from 75-81.

But Doyle Monty Collins are 3 that cemented our place in league one. Also honourable mention for Ryan Flynn.

Crikey what an era.

You literally said we got the maximum out of average players - which basically can't put them in the shite category.

True.

They did up their game in some matches, much like Robbo, but I thought they were basically poor players.

Only one winner for me. And by a fuckin' mile. Peter Katchouro. Complete and utter waste of space. 40 year old Steve Ogrizovic gave him a 10 yard start in a run at goal from 30 yards for a tap in to an empty net in a cup match at Coventry. Still caught him though.
Honourable mention - John Burridge. Complete clown of a goalie.....

Other than the howler in the 3-3 with Blackburn I thought Budgie was decent for us.

At the time it was so frustrating to watch. I have heard a few interviews from players there at that time who alluded to it being Blackwell’s ‘style’.
 
What about Micky Mills, Paul Mariner Phil Neal who all played for England just short of 100 times.

Glenn Hoddle 56 caps = criminal
