[Albion] Worst player, in context, to debase the stripes

[JBizzle]

Crikey, it's a tough one... Graeme Smith was an awful keeper but I never got the feeling that he wasn't trying, he just wasn't very good. Leon Best and Chuba Akpom stand out because they never looked like trying. As others have said, Akpom was the only player I've come close to booing. Whenever he was brought on by Hughton, you knew for certain that his interest in the game was gone. The charlatan even got a Championship runner-up up medal with us and two, TWO FA Cup winners medals!

Astoundingly, he's still playing at Championship standard with Boro this season and has scored 2 in 4.

For us though? Dross. Utter and complete dross.

I know he scored goals for us but for me Leon Knight was probably the biggest disgrace to the stripes for openly saying he hoped we got relegated after he left us.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

The correct answer is Michael Mahoney-Johnson whose only contribution to the Albion was grazing in the centre circle the pissfield. He was a crime against not only the Albion but also football in general. We had him on loan from QPR and it has soured my view of them ever since.

Richard Tiltman (does he fit the games played criteria?).. I was only a teenager at the time, but I could almost feel sorry for him as he just seemed so out of his depth!!

I hear you but, for one season at least, he was a fantastic striker for us. Possibly one of the best strikers I've seen for us actually

Horrendous attitude obviously which has somehow got WORSE since leaving us

We actually made a small profit on him I believe- pretty sure it was only us and Chelsea that actually sold him for a fee in his entire career

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I'd say Vicente.

Barely played.
Terrible attitude.
Relied on past glories
Famous for hitting the bar against Derby. Well Done Vince, I can also miss.
Wanted to leave.
Achieved nothing.
Probably cost loads.































And now wait.

CKR and that one who was dating Holly Willoughby

Jonny Dixon and he was dating Holly Valance.

I'm going to nominate Ryan Harley, absolute dog shit. Scored on his league debut and then spent his other dozen or so appearances appearing to not give a toss.

Loan wise it's a three way tie between Leon Best, Chuba Akpom and Jon Obika.

Like I say I know he scored goals, and he did have a good season with us.

But personally though i never thought he was that great, I can think of at least 10 strikers off the top of my head who were better than him.

Sorry, I didn't want to dismiss your opinion there, he just really grinds my gears.

In terms of debasing the stripes it's Glen Thomas.

In context (by which, I presume the OP means "pound for pound") then it's DJ Strollabout

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The Diouf red was at Elland Road.

Who was the oaf, playing for Blackburn I think, who got a red a the Amex. I thought it was spitman?

I knew it was a Holly but the wrong one. Thanks

 

[Weststander]

This is the first Brighton game I can remember going to, I'd been before but my memory escaped them.

What a great first memory of the Withdean to have.

I recall the ground largely emptying on 63 minutes at 0-4, literally.

Beating any Amex records by some margin.

 

[BBassic]

It's a tight run race between Kemy and Locadia. Though any race between those two would be an insult to the concept of racing.

I think Kemy inches it. For all his fecklessness Locadia did at least score some helpful goals during his vacation on the South Coast.

 

[Swansman]

In my short time it must be Locadia... but I always want to give a shout to Martin Montoya as well, he was a proper not so good player.

 

[keaton]

Locadia did look for a month near Christmas that time and Savage was brilliant in his first game.

I think Leon Best

 

[stewart12]

the thing with Best is that, in a season of really disappointing players and in particular forwards, he somehow managed to stand out as being the worst of a terrible bunch

mind blowingly shit

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Indeed. I outlined the criteria specifically so Thomas could be disregarded.

yeh I wouldn't disagree with any of that. It's certainly true that after we got promoted to the Championship he got sussed out a bit I think- only managed a handful of goals and eventually got shifted out to the wing which pissed him off

even in the play off promotion season where he scored a lot of goals, I seem to remember his form tailing off towards the end of the season and him nearly being dropped for the play offs

 

[Easy 10]

Leon Best, absolute Cart Horse. Graeme Smith as well, Mr. Poppadom hands.

We used to call him "The Hologram" where I sat. Every shot on goal just seemed to pass through him.
