[NSC] Worst albion player you can remember

[Pevenseagull]

Been a few over the years. The goldstone period under Liam Brady comes to mind. Kevin Mcgarrigle. Denny Mundee, Phil Andrews.

I'm sure there were a few games when I thought Mundee was one of our better players. Doesn't mean that he was any good though.

Jake Forster-Caskey

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Colin Hawkins anyone?

Michael ‘the pony’ Mahoney Johnson.
In the nadir days of Gillingham he was by far and away the worse footballer to have worn the stripes. In a shockingly bad team he abused the privilege of being sh*thouse. The best that he achieved was strutting around the centre circle like a complete cockwomble. Utter, utter garbage. I think he came from QPR ... I still have it forgiven them .....

Gavin Hoyte was also hopeless.

Hoyte was awful.

I actually feel a bit bad saying that he was awful, its not like he had an illustrious career, I'm sure he tried his best but he just really struggled at that level.

I'm sure we played a non league team in the cup at Withdean with Hoyte playing right back for us. We swapped him to the other side because he was getting skinned constantly. The opposition manager promptly swapped his winger to the other side so he could carry on tormenting him.

In my time worse in an albion shirt I give a list of the shit I have seen over the years
Mickey Thomas
Glen Thomas
Damien Hilton
Jason Peake
Ashley Neal (total and utter shit Sunday league would of flattered this player)
Colin Hawkins
Micheal Mjohnson
Dale Jasper
Les Briley
Frank Stapleton
Danny Webb
Alan Young
Supermarket Trolley

just a few that stick out for me

 

[Krusty]

Grant Horstcroft, signed from Lewes i think?
Nice lad, Lewes was his Level, Absolute Pony for us along with Richard Tiltman (already Mentioned) with us around the same time before we left the Goldstone

Definitely two serious contenders

I can't talk about history so Locadia for me

Not the worst, but worse value for sure

 

[Simster]

I am not saying Locadia was good, but do think people are beginning to view him with whatever the opposite of rose tinted glasses are.

Are some people really saying a player who scored 3 goals in 34 appearances including an excellent goal at Millwall that got us back into the quarterfinal is the worst we've ever had? Even if you say "pound for pound" he doesn't fit that description - we've had loads of "strikers" who must have a worse record at a much lower level than Locadia has had with us.

My vote always goes to Michael Mahoney-Johnson. Really didn't want to come on loan, was eventually cajoled into it, and really was absolutely shit. Didn't look remotely threatening against the worst team in the league who were essentially a pub side.

 

[Dr Q]

Some valid suggestions here, but surprised to see 'Barn Door' Billy Paynter not mentioned so far. We had him on loan from Dirty and he made a grand total of 10 appearances...

he gets my vote too

 

[Hugo Rune]

Kemi Agustien, fat useless and simply couldn't be arsed.

Still stealing a living playing for Mickleover Sports in the Northern Premier League!!

He played very well in the following game (as an aside, watch the penalty decision with the pause button to see how far in the box Teixeira was when he was hacked down, only for us to get a free kick outside of the box . . .our luck never changes!).

Our worst player ever wouldn't have had even one good performance.

 

[matbha]

Mark Fox or his brother

 

[Arthur]

Ashley neal

How did this thread make 29 posts before Ashley Neal was mentioned!?!?

 

[portslade seagull]

Mike Mahony Johnson whilst at Gillingham closely followed by Richard Tiltman

Liked the shirts

Grismby is Not Chris Ramseys fault.

good enough to play in an FA cup final.

And didn't they score when he was hobbling after a bad tackle - showing his worth and importance to the team?

 

[blockhseagull]

Feel Locadia and Farrington are being harshly dealt with.

Both are victims of what we hoped they’d be rather than being the worst.

Farrington arrived from Feyenoord with much expectation which he never got anywhere near meeting .... but that said he isn’t even close to the worst player I’ve seen... likewise Locadia.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Gavin Hoyte.

I have recurring memories of his utter shitness every time I saw him play at Withdean.

Honorary mentions for Damien Hilton and Obika.....

 

[dangull]

Chris Ramsey 1983 away to Grimsby. Shocking player,shocking rusult, shocking weather. shhh hole of a place.

Don't agree with this. If Whiteside had not injured him in F A Cup final, Brighton may have won the game without extra time.

Just read the thread back after posting.

I remember that game.
