Worst no.15 since 1999

These are the runners and riders...

 

[Selly]

Hamilton for me, although I suspect that thirlwell will "win" this one...

 

[LardSardine]

If only I could have 5 votes!

 

[JohnDenver]

I can't vote France because the bugger barely played.

But I'll never forget Warnock saying Hamilton would bring a bit of flair to the side.

Did he say that? Hamilton barely played under Warnock. He came on as sub three time with NW as manager and that was it before being released.

This really is a tough one, could happily vote for Hamilton, Thirlwell or France.

It has to be Ryan France, the biggest waste of a signing I think we've ever made.

Please note everyone that France didn't play at all in the no.15 shirt. He had the shirt in the relegation season but was injured more or less throughout. Mind you, if the stories are to be believed taking a massive wage when he was doing nowt might warrant the vote.

Please, please, please everyone, vote Harper. Yes the others were shit, yes they might have been frustrating and caused you to curse occasionally but look at the expectation that Harper bought from his Reading days.

Reflect then on the arrogance he showed as he put in bugger all effort other than waving his bloody arms around like a copper directing traffic at a busy Junction as he tried to tell the rest of the team how to play.

And to think we pinched him from under the nose of the Piggies....

Steve Thompson signed Ian Hamilton, not Warnock. I actually remember a night match (I think vs. Crewe at home) and Hamilton scored a delightful header on the edge of the box! Darren can you remember?

The worst has to be Ryan France when you factor in cost. He was signed by Blackwell from under the noses of our neighbours (after he scored a wonder goal in a pre-season friendly for them) just to rub it in and we also paid him double to what they were willing to offer. His one game vs. Port Vale (cup) we lost at home and he was awful. Therefore, an expensive flop.

 

[Darren]

The Crewe game was on 31/8/98. We won 3-1. Hunt and Woodhouse got the other goals.

France played a bit more than that. He made 3 starts and 6 as sub in the league in 2009-10 and also played that one cup game you mentioned. His last appearance was as sub on 21st November 2009, so he didn't play at all in the last 18 months of a 2 year contract!

France was a complete waste of money, but the crock factor means I'd feel a bit harsh voting for him. Find it far more comfortable voting for Harper. Came with a good reputation, so expected something more than just pointing a lot. He was good at that mind... Completely had forgotten about Andy Woodward!..How about a poll on forgettable blades. Too many maybe, not that I can think of any!

Surely the biggest problem here would be that the most forgettable blades would, by definition, be the least likely to actually make it into the poll...

 

[JohnDenver]

But when he did...

I wasn't there.

 

[JJ Sefton]

Went for Hamilton, I've seen plenty worse than Thirlwell play for us.

Exactly! ....but I had genuinely forgotten about Andy Woodward, until I was reminded..so it would inevitibly have to involve someone, not me, suggesting the names...I didn't confess though that I originally read that original name as Alan...big whoops

Hamilton, Hunt, Woodhouse

I challenge anyone to name a worse threesome (fnar!) to have scored in the same match for SUFC.
