Yeah, but Neilson's hair was fvcking amazing.

If we're naming players that were so shit they were good, then Alan Rodgers. How did that bloke end up playing for us, during a time we were still a decent team?

Ah yes. It's just not the same anymore, yeh we've still got shit players but where's the comedy value?

Maybe Dyer could fit the description at times. Ormondroyd has to be the ultimate one.

He had ability and the trees were mightily miffed when he moved to us after his contract there ended.

But he never really fulfilled potential with us, and rarely seemed to relish the physical demands of the Championship. He had the occasional decent game for us (Charlton away in the FA Cup springs to mind) but couldn't produce that type of form on a consistent basis.

His best performance was probably on Boxing Day 2006 - at Hull of all places, where he inspired us to an unlikely victory, scoring the winner himself. The following month, a financially-strapped (pre-Mandaric) City flogged him to Watford (then a premier club) for £500k, only for his career to be ended by injury weeks later.

While he never quite plumbed the depths of Stephen Hughes or Andy Johnson (another ex-tree) during his time at the Way, his time at City was hardly a successful one for him or us.

However, if he was still fit and on the club's books, he would definitely contend with Wellens or King for a central-midfield berth, which says plenty about how that duo have under-achieved to date during the current season.

Gareth Williams = non entity.

It's scary to think back to the side 'created' by Craig Levein - there must have been some unbelievably shit teams in the Champ for that side to have stayed up.

Once on holiday got chatting to a Scot who turned out to be a friend of Williams' dad; He said Gareth Wlliams was completely disinterested in football, didn't really like playing. Got to say I could see that in his performances, explained a lot really.

I think I read in one of the programmes at the time that he went to watch Rangers as a kid. I think that explains the complete lack of interest in football.

Momo Sylla :wub:

Just so unbelievably shit that I actually liked him - much like, for instance, Barry Hayles.

I remember always going on about how shit Momo was but then I met him after playing Palace at home not long before we played Villa in the cup. He was honestly a really nice bloke! I enjoyed talking to him. I always felt bad for ripping him ever since then lol.

I had heard wonderful things about him and how he was heading to Rangers for £4million, so when he turned up at our place I thought great, he's a decent playmaker who can control the game pick a pass, turns out it was only ever sideways, he turned out to be a poor mans jamie redknapp.
