Worst England players

[heathgate]

Carlton Palmer by a country mile and a half.

 

[atfc village]

David Dunn
call me Andrew Johnson
John Scales.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Seem to remember Luke Young getting a run of games at right-back at one point. Far from the worst ever, but still shouldn't have been getting anywhere close to the England squad.

Jay Bothroyd though, what the HELL was that all about?

 

[dangull]

Peter Ward. He was only good in his first spell at Brighton until we reached the top flight.

 

[Bakero]

Not the worst but David Nugent deserves a mention.

 

[Bladders]

Gavin McCann

Whoooooooo?

I genuinely do not remember him at all or who he played for



EDIT: oh yeah, just googled him. Remember now

 

[The Modfather]

Didn't Seth Johnson get a cap?

 

[The Modfather]

Michael Ball

 

[Austrian Gull]

Carlton Palmer's been rightly mentioned by many so I'll go for Mike Duxbury - absolute toilet he was.

 

[BensGrandad]

Going back some years the press clamoured for Derek Kevan he was eventually picked and was useless.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I didn't think David Bardsley was international class.

Graham Taylor did.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

This should be fun. Which year would you like me to start from?

Didn't Seth Johnson get a cap?

He did, but like some others Agbonlahor, Jeffers for instance. His career didn't turn out, for whatever reason, to be quite as stellar as expected when they plated for England - Those three were all 20/21 when selected. Carlton Palmer however.....

 

[WATFORD zero]

Did John Fashanu get a game?

Two caps

I'm sure i remember watching one of those from between the fingers of my hands clasped over my face. After having the ball bounce of his shins a few times i'm sure he was substituted very early much to my relief

Only 15500 saw Fash play for England V Chile in 1989 .Tube strike that day and we got to Waterloo and thought sod it and went on the hit and miss rather than try to get to Wembley.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i think seth johnson is slightly harsh- he did look like a really good prospect at one point but his career was ruined by injury

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

There's been some truly shocking goalkeepers over the past decade. John Ruddy, Jack Butland, Rob Green, Paul "Misses" Robinson, Carse The Farce, Ian Walker.

Could have been worse. Imagine struggling through, getting to Wembley and finding out that **** was playing

 

[Seasidesage]

Has anyone mentioned Geoff Thomas?












Oh I see they have, several times

I think you're possibly being a bit harsh towards Butland considering his age at the time of his appearance and that he's actually, you know, good.

The problem when trying to defend Green and Robinson, which I really want to do, is that whist they're both more than capable keepers they had an astonishing ability to have wobbles at exactly the wrong time. Wouldn't call either shocking but couldn't pretend that they're particularly reliable either.
