Rubbish players that you loved?

[hallsteve62]

Richard Jobson

I used to love the Skids ; )

 

[hallsteve62]

Big Earl.

Barratt?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not sure this thread was meant for players who have played in World Cup finals and won titles?

He was a tidy player as well as a demon off the ball.

Yet, comparatively, he was one of the poorest members of City’s squad and was let go pretty quickly.

Lots of poor players have played in finals.

 

[Scareye]

Ricky Holden. I voted for him as player of the season. Much to the amusement of my friends and family.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Mark Kennedy and Willo Flood.

Why Willo Flood pray tell?

 

[laserblue]

The great Glauber Berti. City legend. The cheers when he came on for the 15 minutes or so of his City career live long in the memory.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Ricky Holden. I voted for him as player of the season. Much to the amusement of my friends and family.

I've said this before but some players have songs that the fans just love singing. And the players become cult icons as a result.

Holden was one. Terry Cooke another.

 

[Jwoody19]

Sun Jihai. Great song and loved him, but he was pants

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Why Willo Flood pray tell?

I'd met him a few times when he was younger and he was very approachable.
Probably too quiet and not confident enough may not have helped his career.

 

[Bozo]

Samaras.

 

[Dogtanian]

Andy May with the hair of a rockstar

 

[Jogon 127]

Michael Hughes.

I thought he was decent for us?

 

[uwerosler28]

DeMarcus Beasley.

 

[Tbilisi]

Danny Hoekman, seemed to run around like a headless chicken kicking the shit out of anything that moved.
We nicknamed him Van Nutter.

 

[I'm not really here]

Willo Flood

 

[eastmanc]

Barratt?

Haaland, haven't you heard he's just a shit Andy Carroll.

 

[billfromthehill]

There will be plenty…….perceived to be shit, but you just won’t have a bad word said against them.

Edgehill springs to mind……although he wasn’t that shit, just unfortunate to play for us.

Shit thread

 

[billfromthehill]

Nigel de Jong

There’s always one.

 

[billfromthehill]

He was a very limited footballer that allowed Yaya to move further up the pitch.

He was our hard man, which the fans love.

Gareth Barry did far more as our DM, but never got the cult hero status that NDJ did as he didn’t slide into tackles.

To quote one of the best managers ever “ go and win the ball and give it to him.” Know your job.

 

[gazinho]

Not 100% sure he's classed as shit but I really like Nunes, even after that awful cross field pass yesterday
