Rubbishest team

opprimendi destitutione

[Burnden Paddock]

Have I just seen Robbie Elliott's name mentioned in a 'worst ever' list?!

I saw it and assumed it must just be another one from before my time. Cannot be Robbie!

It certainly couldn't be Robbie Elliot who was an excellent player and one I wish we had the likes of last season. Great passer and a ferocious tackler.

No, what you're probably looking at is Steve Elliot.Counterfoil to Oghani and Caldwell he was, as was common parlance of the teime - a 'stump'.

Has anyone said Nigel Jemson yet?

Indeed. I should have qualified that I meant Steve, rather than Robbie.

[Bruce Rioja]

Bit harsh. David Reeves was far shittier than Steve Elliot, for me anyway.

[tripod]

dean holdsworth's gotta be in there

[thebish]

dean holdsworth's gotta be in there

not if a team only has 11 players in it!!

[boltonboris]

dean holdsworth's gotta be in there

Bollocks

[wigan white]

Surely John O'Kane must qualify as our worst ever full back. Remember him getting taken off in the first half against City at Maine Road as he was complete and utter Gash!!!! He was shocking!!!!!!!

[wigan white]

Kostas Konstantinidis
Akin Bulent
Chris Armstrong
Dwight Pezzarossi
Blessing Kaku
Ndiwa Lord-Kangana
Óscar Pérez (although not sure he counts as a player)
Simon Farnworth
Mike Jeffrey
John Salako

Thats true, but if you count my post for John O'Kane (who was soooo crap he deserves a post of his own) then thats 11 hahaha

[Winter Hill White]

The Sh!te Steves. Fulton and McAnespie. Particularly as a reasonable amount of notes changed hands for them, I think.

[boltonboris]

McAnespie had a head like a thatched roof

[bwfcdan94]

Im under 30 and I remember gav ward, steve banks, aidan davison...all worst than bogdan

cids in though.

nicky sumerbee an all

Maybe 25 then. I only remember Banks out of that lot, as in remember having an opinion about him, and he wasn't first choice then.

Allardyce chose Banks over Jussi

Anyway, I'll play

Peacock or Poole - no other fcukers will be considered, as these two were in a class of their own...except kevin pass me a milk crate Rose

Scott
Deakin
Mike Doyle
Keeley

Storer
Joyce
Henshaw
Brookman


Moores
Morgan


Some of these duffers had decent careers but on how they performed for us and at the level they did it, it'd take some shite to be worse

At last a full team.

[boltonboris]

I assume somebody had mentioned Afobe?

there is some goods shouts there.

i am disappointed at the lack of support for the candidacy of Henry Mowbray as worst full back in living memory - though certainly Cid takes all honours as worst defender ever for the division we were in...

[coffeymagic]

It may have been edited away but did I see the name 'Jeff Chandler' on here last night?

If so whoever put that up should hang their heads in shame.

Especially in his first spell at the club 'Shirley' was part of the a forward line up of Chandler, Caldwell and Oghani that somehow contrived to score about 80 goals between them one season.

And I think we still went down.

Someone must be able to rustle up the stats on that fairly quickly but talk about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

Also Stuart Storer had quite a good time at the club. Funny story though I was in the King Bill having a pint with Paul Comstive when Storer came over to join us at the table. 'Alright lads' he said 'Enjoy the game?' To which Comstive looked up from his pint and said 'feck off Storer.'

Which he did.

Talk about team spirit!

Absolutely.

Plus, as mentioned previously and above, Dennis Peacock was the worst keeper ever to come to Bolton for either home or away teams I believe. He set new standards in being shite.

I really can't argue (for the level we had them in) at inclusions of ;
Chris Armstrong
Dwight Pezzarossi
Blessing Kaku
Ndiwa Lord-Kangana
Óscar Pérez

Add Steve Howey.

Then the famed Anelka replacement; Rasiak and the big lummox from Portugal we tried up front.

Oh & the lump we had in midfield who played at Arsenal once and had to borrow a shirt ... Diawara ??

[Lord Kangana]

I remember being particularly disappointed with Nicky Sumerbee, particularly as he'd been good at Sunderland and my dad's mate (a Mackem) had given a suitable eulogy. He was utter shite.

And I agree with John O'Kane. We had some shite in the eighties, but f*ck me he pushed them all the way.

And does anyone remember Greg Strong at centre half? Perhaps you too were looking through your fingers whilst hiding behind the seat in front so the memory is foggy, but he was rubbish.

And Simon Farnworth. If we needed a poster-boy for the averageness of BWFC talent in the eighties, he'd get my vote.

[Bijou Bob]

I was working with a bloke who was a close mate of Summerbee at the time. He was quite blunt about what Summerbee had said to him which was "I'm only there for the money and I can't be arsed".
