Worst City players you remember

That wasn't fog, just the dirty Leeds Air! I lived there for 20 years and never saw the Sun!
I was in the West stand, surrounded by loiners, who looked at me as though I was mad when I jumped up to salute the goal. Ball gave it large afterwards with stuff like "we've turned the corner" and other such crap. Yeah right, Bally, and what happened?

Manager of the Month iirc ?
 
Glad to see Irlamblue has given a mention to Paul Sugrue. Paul Gruesome, more like. If you're too young to have seen him, he was one of that crop of stars -Stewart Lee, Bobby ("Banana Boots") Shinton, Stepanovic, etc, that Allison brought in to replace no-hopers like Gary Owen, Peter Barnes, Dave Watson, Mike Channon and the like. It was a horrifying and depressing time to be a Blue, when only a couple of years after being within a whisker of winning the title, we went on a downward spiral culminating inevitably in relegation and a succession of short-term managers. Sugrue typified that, and how anyone thought he could even kick or control a ball properly was beyond my comprehension.

Remember it well Big Mal tarnished his reputation bringing that load of shite in, Swales should have had the balls to tell him to leave it to Booky and you just coach, after all he had not done a bad job for the last 4 years

No.. its come to me... pretty sure it was Steve Rimmer. I looked him up on wiki and found this


"Stephen Anthony Rimmer (born 23 May 1979) is an English former footballer. His career in the Football League was brief but eventful, playing in front of a record low crowd at Maine Road and getting sent off 23 minutes into his Port Vale debut. In 2000, he ventured into non-league football, and turned out for Marine, Hyde United, and Skelmersdale United.


A product of the Manchester City youth system, he made one first team appearance for the club on 8 December 1998. City lost 2–1 to Mansfield Town in the First Round of the Football League Trophy. Rimmer picked up a booking in a match primarily remembered as having Manchester City's lowest ever recorded attendance (just 3,007 turned up). He spent January 1999 at Conference National side Doncaster Rovers. He left Maine Road at the end of the season and quickly signed up with First Division club Port Vale.


Handed his Vale debut by manager Brian Horton on 28 December 1999 at Oakwell, replacing Mark Snijders at half time, he was sent off on 68 minutes for serious foul play. He only one more appearance, on 12 February 2000, replacing Stewart Talbot at Blundell Park after just 13 minutes. He was let go at the end of the season."

Not exactly an illustrious career !!!

Just found this. Cheers for the mention and your kind words. It wasn’t me though.
 
In no specific order:

Ike Immel
David Someil
Gerry Creaney
Barry Conlon
Bob Taylor
Michael Docherty
Sam Harris
Alan Kernaghan
Rick Holden
Steve McMannamon
Kare Ingabrigtsen
Rolando Bianchi
Bernado Corradi
Sammy McIlroy
Steve Daley
Martin Phillips

I'm sure there's a few more that are planted in the depths of my ageing mind!!
 
In recent years Claudio Bravo would have to go onto any worst players list. Let’s not have any revisionist nonsense, he was utterly shit. Almost every shot he faced went into our net. Belongs on the same list as the very worst players of the 80’s and 90’s.
