The amount of times he fouled in the box but didn't get a penalty given was Sodje-esque - not that I was complaining about the pens not being given, I just thought his luck would eventually run out, but it didn't. And not just in the box, he was so clumsy I couldn't believe the amount of fouls he got away with - again, wasn't complaining at the time, I was just on baited breath waiting for a ref to finally see one of them.  |

It could be indicative of how far we’ve fallen and the rubbish we’ve endured in recent years that some of the players I would have put forward, I’m now looking back at fondly and thinking they could’ve done a job. Or just rose-tinted old bugger nostalgia glasses?
For the record, I was never as keen on GTF as everyone else and could understand why Leyton Orient fans had voted him their worst ever player. I didn’t like another ex-Orient man, Gary Barnett, either. Seemed a nice bloke, tried hard, but largely ineffective. See also Grant Johnson.
Some sacred cows getting slayed on this thread. I mean, Peter Jackson, really?! We all know he had a big ego, but he was good for Town.

Don't rate helik, think he makes decent defensive blocks now and then but largely from his own mistakes and fairly limited on the ball.
Michael Collins I never understood why people liked him so much, I thought he was a shadow most the time, there's a similarity in Ben wiles game too.
Nahki wells, needed too many chances to score and his lack of height made him ineffective with some of the deliveries we put in, especially during the promotion season. Another striker would have had a field day

Nico Vaesen - disliked him at Town then he joined City.
Kevin Gray - obvious reasons.
Peter Jackson - disliked him at Town then he managed City.
Jon Worthington - disliked him at Town then he joined City.
David Graham - no opinion of him at Town then he joined City - one of few players I’ve disliked for us.

Agreed on some of that … Vaesen was overrated. Gray was average at best. Jackson was a City and Town hero though. Worthington was excellent for Town and harshly binned off. David Graham was a good player but absolute wanker as a person. |

Steve Mounie.
I thought he was lazy. Didnt want to score enough to bother getting himself into goalscoring positions.

Nigel Callaghan, a while ago now and only a loan deal but way past his best when he joined us, decent player in his day and thats why some fans gave him more kudos than they ought.

Never warmed to that bald headed Aussie lad we had under Wagner but most people seemed to think he was decent. Lacked pace. Think Hogg made him look better than he was. [Insert emoji of choice]

Rudoni - just simply did nothing
Mounie - spent more time defending and was out of position constantly
Hogg - been good for 3 seasons in 10
Carlos as the manager - boring and we still have to hear how he’s a genius despite never getting anywhere

David Graham scored 9 goals in 16 games for us, on loan from a club I can't remember. Superb numbers but no one remembers him with any fondness here, for some reason I don't understand. |

An attacking midfielder who provided zero goal threat, with minimal physical presence. Most of the time, he looked like a 12 year old playing senior football. |

Like or rate is slightly different imho.
Pritchard, mbenza, diakhaby i didn't like.
Worthy, Rudoni, Hammill I didn't rate or perhaps more accurately thought many overrated.

Not a dislike but people always seem to go on about how good Smith Rowe was here but I remember him being just decent but nothing more.

First time I saw him was at Edgeley Park when he literally wobbled on to the pitch as a sub. Every time I hear that joke about pissing a fatness test, I think of him. |

Usual Town in signing a “known” player, on loan or permanent, who was way past his best by the time he came to us. Still happens now, see Anthony Knockeart or the guy who was great at Palace and came to us from Turkey or someplace on loan in the January, his name slips my mind but he was shite. |

Seriously? Did ANYONE like Puncheon, Man Bun Davidson, or Pritchard. Give yourself a slap if you did.
Agree re Helik. Overrated and disinterested half the time.
Tom Lees - a trier but bang average.
Robbie Williams, David Beresford, Simon Baldry, and so many more I will add on later!

Definitely Mounie for me. Flattered to deceive and not good enough for the money we paid and the league we were in. Nice fella, good song, that's all.
Also dare I say Boothy! Sorry, love him for who he is but as a player I found him bland to watch. Not fit to lace Marcus Stewart's boots! Still a town legend though obviously just not really my kind of striker. Having said that we could do with the young version now!

But he was in his best spell with the club up to “that” sending off - the start of our downfall imo. |

Löwe was a quality player for us in the promotion season. I find it utterly bizarre that anyone can put him on this list 😂 He was an ok championship player but was never gonna make it athletically in the prem. if we’d had a strong fullback like toffolo working with Rajiv we could’ve been a real threat on that side as it was it was largely VLP trying to do it all himself. |

I do and remember him with fondness. Can remember him scoring alot of goals for Torquay when they pipped us to third place in our playoff promotion from league 2. I also really liked Luke Beckett who I think Graham came in for whilst Beckett was injured. I suppose both would be considered old fashioned types of strikers now but scored alot of goals at alot of different clubs in the lower leagues. |

Robbie Williams, David Beresford, Simon Baldry, and so many more I will add on later! I liked Beresford when he first came, thought he was going to be Giggs-esque for us, wasn't to be. Baldry was brilliant ... when his contract was up for renewal, rest of the time he was mostly shite I'd agree |
