Worst City players you remember

He rivals Bravo in terms of being the worst keeper we've ever had. Both might have been decent with their feet, but they spent more time with their feet walking to get the ball out of the net than they did passing it about :)

Absolutely 100% this.
Grossly unprofessional, overweight and unfit when he arrived.
Schmeichel was even older when we signed him but was in much better shape
10 minutes of the pre season friendly at Mansfield told everyone present that Seaman was only here to take the piss and pick up a final payday. Embarrassing for all concerned, he was laughable
He was so badly past it and finished that even Keegan eventually had to swallow humble pie. They concocted a fake ‘back injury’ cover story and he quietly ‘retired’
**** still took us for a final lump sum
A fucking scumbag. When I used to see him doing those celebrity shows and being the friendly smiling Yorkshireman routine, it made me want to vomit

Was there. Caught a corner and then threw it into his own net as he landed.
Kev Horlock scored a screamer but it was for fuck all thanks to Margetson shitting his pants

I was in the end where he got lobbed by Pollock

Totally agree mate. I hated Seaman, he was here for a laugh or something. He put ZERO effort in for us.

Schmeical was the opposite, he's a leader and born winner. He was brilliant for us and just what we needed after that lazy **** Seaman did fuck all trying to save anything!

I know I remember wondering how we'd got him after that game. I soon found out as he was utterly shit and disinterested after that.

I was working away in Sutton as a young lad. Clocked off early (ish) from the Sunday shift. Genuinely thought we'd finish top 4 after the match

Seaman came after, probably on the feel good hype of schmeical. We did get James after seaman though, who was pretty good

Probably a lad over promoted into the side cause of all the problems, but he was never a professional footballer standard

Exactly that
His twin brother was on the books at the same time
Another young lad, midfielder Gary Mason, also did ok for a few games early in the season and like Fenton was given a longer contract than he had probably earned
 
Gary Mason was too lightweight to make it at the level we were playing at the time. David Morley was another player at that time didn't last too long (scored on his debut vs Bury)

I remember being excited about Mason & then he disappeared. Happened a lot to players back then

He was in the team at my last game at Maine Rd v Notts County in the league cup I think, we won 7-1 or 7-0, I was pretty impressed with him and thought he'd go on to be a decent player!
Incidentally it was my 5yr olds 1st and only visit and she remembers it, my 9yr old was blooded against Lincoln at home... how times have changed!

Paul Beesley (one of Frank Clarke's lot) and Craig Russell was a shit swap.

Craig Russell has a place in our history as the man who scored at York away. Dont recall him doing much else, signed as a forward and seemed to play mostly as a wingback and part of our super sized squad when Royle took over, along with Beesley. Our scouting system has certainly improved since those days.
 
Barney Daniels, he was a Rag youth reject but we snapped him up , i think he only played about a dozen games and was a striker ,he couldnt trap a bag of cement could probably name a few other players but Barney was at another level for being shite. He started at Ashton Utd and his professional career lasted just a few years and he ended up back at Ashton.

I remember being disappointed when we got James and was half expecting him to be another Seaman after his "Calamity James" days. However I thought he was superb...apart from his cameo up front!!!
