I'm not sure about 'hate' but Micky Thomas was a skiving, lazy, git.

Agree, I remember this well. He just decided not to turn up and has to be the biggest joke we have ever had at the club.

I have never 'hated' anyone playing for the Albion but I hated the attitude of half the team (mainly loanees) in the first half away to Walsall under Slade when we were 0-3 down at halftime.
Once they left the club is a different matter depending on how they departed, so the player that I have given most serious hateful abuse to must be Harding - especially the first half at Elland Road when Seb Carole tore him a new one!

I remember that Walsall game for the pitiful defending by a certain David Livermore - He really did'nt give a sh*t!

John Gregory

Was that when he played for us or when he managed Villa?

Every single one who leaves. Traitors unless they are sold to lower league clubs.

Hate? No, I don't think so, but disliking for being seriously useless I'd nominate Bertie Lutton, Dale Jasper and maybe Mark McCammon, and for being nobs I'd go for Leon Knight, CKR and Mickey Thomas.

There is a big difference between "Hate" and being "Not very Good". Jon Obika semmed a genuinely nice guy, whereas Leon Knight has not been very polite since he left but was a good player for us. Hate is a very strong word but since they have left, I dislike CKR, Leon Knight, Micky (Small John) Thomas because they have less than nice.

Personally, I always felt that Gus had the charm of a poisonous snake and felt it would always end in tears. I can admire him but always found him rude.

Do you include Mark Beeney in that category? - The player we sold to Leeds and helped save the club

I have never hated any player of ours, there have been some that were crap (Graeme Smith for example, but he did spent most of the time off the pitch and in the back of the goal picking the ball up so close) but i'd still support them whilst they were in our squad or on the pitch and playing for us

 

[Rogero]

I don't hate any player.the word is too strong.

Can't say I've ever hated an Albion player. Strangely the most votes on this thread seem to go to Codner, I always liked him, he had real talent and when he was good I really enjoyed watching him. I'd suggest that Codner and Barnes are the players who have had the most terrace abuse. I like them both and never understood why they were singled out.

Players I had no time for:

Micky Thomas
Mick Ferguson
Robbie Savage
Andy Kennedy
Most of the non league Sussex players that Barry Lloyd brought in.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Hate is a strong word - I thought Hoyte was one of the worst players I've ever seen play. But I didn't hate him for it.

I think the only time I've ever lost it with a player during a game was after Hammond's pathetic celebration when he played for Southampton at the Withdean. Although he wasn't playing for us at the time, if I could use the word hate to describe my view of any Albion player - it would be him.

 

[Mungo_Jerry]

I remember a game at the Goldstone, 1990 I think, when there was a minutes silence being held. After about 30 seconds of absolute silence a sole voice rang out "F*ck off Codnor!"

"Codner why don't you **** off back to Barnet"

Don't know why but I remember it too.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Inigo Calderon.

Please tell me you're joking.... Inigo is one of footballs Gentlemen and loves BAHA.

Mickey Thomas.

Horrible little criminal git.
