442: worst ever Vale player

[Torquay Valiant]

as has been said this is going to be a looooong list, and not really liking to name names, and if he's following this thread sorry, but I name Steggles...

Ah yes Kevin Steggles another one of our utter rubbish full backs.

Ian Lawson.

For me the biggest disappointments were Martin Henderson, being that he replaced big Bob Newton who was a hero at the Vale and Peter Barnes, given his pedigree was absolutely shocking playing 3 games on loan. Having seen his career after us and if Wiki is to be believed he played for a further 18 clubs and 5 in 1989 alone.

 

We have a winner. Still have nightmares about

Henderson .Bang on about Bob Newton

Griff and McDonald

 

You referring to Clayton McDonald, the centre half who was a mainstay in the Vale team that played the best football many of us have seen in decades?

 

He was cumbersome and awkward, but worst player ever? Madness pal.

I wouldn't nominate anyone who worked hard for us. However, anyone who thought they were bigger than the club can GTF. McGoldrick, Danny Webber and Stefan Moore spring to mind, as does the execrable Jamie Guy.

 

There was a player we had on loan once from either Spurs or Wimbledon, must have been around 95 or 96 and he was one of the laziest, couldn't-be-arsed players I've ever seen in the shirt. I'm sure he played for us as a sub against West Brom at their place but I could be wrong. Think he was supposed to be an attacking player, maybe winger, black lad. Anyway, HIM.

Big Ex, Danny Glover.

Griff and McDonald

 

I'd never say someone who had put in so many 100% battling performances as griff was the worst player ever. And he won countless MoM awards which means there were plenty worse.

Mackenzie maybe?

Wish I could find the posts where people were suggesting Chris Martin was wort 7 figures.

A fair few candidates for this one but my choice is Lawrie Pearson, a left back with all the footballing ability of a dead slug. Only played 3 games for us and that was 2.9 games too many.

 

If I remember right he was signed on a two-year contract which was promptly cancelled by mutual consent after those three games. He went on to find his level with Whitby Town...

[robf]

Thanks to everyone who has suggested names.

 

p.s. I don't really like singling out players too but don't shoot the messenger - it was 442 who wanted the worst player.

[PVFC764]

Think there will be a lot from this squad.

 

Exodus.

Stuart Tomlinson - Too muscular in the end to catch balls above his head.

Paul Mahorn maybe? Signed from Spurs in 1997?

sorry, should have added my choice never included our present clods, baring Smith and Street, and as bad as he was he could show our present squad a thing or two...

I think it was Andy Clarke.

Seconded. Or should that be thirded?

[robf]

I think it was Andy Clarke.

Ah that sounds right
