[NSC] Worst albion player you can remember

Best and Akpom………absolutely stealing a living. Locadia has at least shown fleeting glimpses of being a footballer and/or giving a shit - neither of those two did.

Amongst the worst
Teddy Maybank. Not so sure he contributed much. More interested in having a good time from what I can make out.
Infamous stories around him bricking it against Larry Lioyd.

His mate next to him did OK though!

Nither Best nor Akpom were ever officially Albion players though. The trouble with loanees is that when the going gets tough they often seem to go missing.
I totally agree though that neither seemed to ever break sweat whilst wearing an Albion shirt.
Yeah I have to agree on these two. Best looked like a player at the end of his career who couldn't give a **** about what he was doing as long as he was being paid. Akpom was someone who (as a young player) still had something to prove and EVERY time he came on it screamed "we're done trying" in this match. I seem to remember him being booed when he came on.
I'll also throw in Chris Holroyd. He was a trier (which is more than I can say for the above two) but he was just so, SO out of his depth. He looked like a 12 year old playing in a mans team bless him
Mick ( 6 goals in 16 appearances ) Ferguson in the top 2 of worst players that you can remember . Thought my memory was on the blink

Always difficult with these, because it depends if you are choosing based on ability, or on effort. And then when it is ability, is it compared to the team/division they were in, or compared to every other BHA player back in time... I'd also filter out any youth players because that's an unfair comparison and they are still developing.
Effort wise, Best every time... it isn't even a discussion, although Andy Kennedy comes a closeish second
Ability wise, and compared to players in the same team/division... Craig Davies... you think our striker selection issues are a problem now?! Also someone mentioned Adam Chicksen against Derby, which is a little harsh because the playoff injury curse hit us up there, and we ended up playing Ward at CB, Chicksen at LB and he/we didn't stand a chance.
Ability full stop - Hilton, Mahoney-Johnson, Graham Smith
And then someone mentioned worst performance... 2 stick in the mind... Glen Thomas against Brentford... probably the worst 45 mins a player could ever have and the game was lost in the first 10. The other one was David Livermore at LB at Walsall... literally let the winger past him 3 times in the first half and 3 goals.

Geoff Cooper. The opposition never even bothered to mark him when he had the ball.
It’s still Graeme Smith. Bless him.
