Worst City players you remember

Gerry Creaney is the first that springs to mind.
There has been worse but the fact we swapped Paul Walsh + a big sum of money (at the time) for that lump, just had me staring at with disbelief, shaking my head every time I saw him. Portsmouth are probably still chuckling about that deal.

Has my memory gone or did we have something like a kashashkavilli play for us who wasn’t up to much?

I used to play with Rae and he was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch when we played, maybe not City level (even back then) but I can't agree due to the personal connection.
I would say David Brighwell for me or Fitzroy Simpson

I wouldn't pick anyone who came through the ranks tbh, it isn't fair on them when they were just starting out and doing their (albeit often limited) best.

We've bought enough absolute shit to leave the likes of Ingram, Brightwell, Conlon, Mason, Flood, Whitley etc out of this.

One player who cost a fair amount and has gone on to a very good career but was shite with us was Stefan Savic. Useless twat could barely kick the ball when playing in a footballing side. Playing in a back 8 at Atletico helps him out no end. Credit to him I suppose for making something out of his limited ability.
 
If he'd left after his first couple of matches, Shaun Goater. Definitely worth a statue now.

No idea who it was against but I remember I was in Platt Lane when I thought he was the worst I'd seen. Goes to show. Certainly shows I'm no judge.
 
thought I may be a tad harsh when selecting Eike Immel, I seem to recall he was fucking wank, but before proposing him I thought I would check Wikipedia, well he holds the record for the most goals conceded by a keeper in the Bundesliga 829 in 534 games so maybe I was on to something.

That's mad you said that. I was literally going mention our Georgian contingent on the end of my comment. You must have read my mind,

Kavalashvili. We signed him on Kinkladze's recommendation that he was a better player than he was. He scored on his debut against united but didn't do much after that.

However, in addition to Kavalashvili, we bought 2 or 3 other Giorgians on the back of Kinkladze being Giorgian. I can't remember their names but they were probably Kinkladze's cousins or mates.

No, he was shite, you're right.
 
- Jo tops it purely for the fee
- David Brightwell
- I actually want to name a keeper for the 3rd. I am torn between Andy Dibble or a very young Kasper Schmeichel.

Kakhaber Tskhadadze and Murtaz Sheila
 
It's very easy to name the Georgian contingent. That is like naming Glauber Berti.
