Worst player to ever put on a town shirt? 11:49 - Aug 29 with 20771 viewswkj

Prompted by the mention of Leon Best on another post, I realise there have been far worse. Reo-Coker springs to mind, but I think Samassi Abou stands out as I remember town players deliberately avoiding passing to him on his last game for us.

Ivar Ingimarsson, his legs had totally gone, he had the turning circle of an articulated lorry and could no longer jump. Still managed 8 appearances.

Vernon Brekke-Skaard was probably had the least ability of the modern era, no idea why Royle thought he could play at this level.

Abou scored against Sheffield United in the 90s so doesn't belong on this list for that alone. He was a long way down the list of bad loanees Burley bought in.

Larsen Toure has to be a strong candidate, but must escape some degree of scorn on the grounds of his comedy corner kick routine.

See, I thought Toure looked like a bit of a gem to start with, but it soon fell apart, he was certainly more productive than GIles Coke in my opinion.

Think he was released a few days after having a shocker at home to Forest (who hadn’t scored a goal in about 2/3 months since they’d last played us) when they beat us 3-1.

Him and Delaney at the back were woeful and just let Forest stroll past them repeatedly. The pair of them may as well have been dressed as clowns and rode around the back on unicycles

If you mean the worst performance in a Town shirt rather than worst footballer per se, in recent history it has to be Mark Fish, with Ingimarsson a close second for what I think was his last effort for us (he played alright in one game, maybe).

and throwing his shirt into the crowd not realising extra time was about to start. Still don't know why he did that, maybe he missed Donny's goal

Pretty sure the same season or one before Chambers had a go at a free kick (eh?) that went almost out of the ground. I may have dreamed that one, but Toure's corner remains vivid because it was so fooking hilarious.

No that happened!

People were indecisive about who should take it so he stepped up, but slipped and it went over the stand nearly.

Poor fella.

See I never saw the corner. What was it that happened? I've read about it numerous times but can never remember - did he fall over? Trip over the flag or something?

Birmingham at home I believe. On TV. Booted the corner flag and it dribbled pathetically.

I may be confusing it with Lee Martin's similar effort a couple of years earlier.

Wow we have been blessed with some amateur moments over the years!

He fell over and the ball bounced straight out. Most fans laughed. Some groaned. A few fans with no sense of humour had a tantrum. Toure laughed. You HAD to fooking laugh.

I remember him falling over as well but that may be a false memory. I'm the other side of NU. But yes, the ball "dribbled pathetically" out, that's a good description :)

I saw Skard make one of his Town appearances at Watford & I don't think he passed the ball to a blue shirt once in the match. I have never seen a footballer look so much out of his depth.
Be very afraid - he is believed to be studying for his UEFA "A" Licence.

His first match (away at Bristol) was pretty good. Then he got injured in training and was never the same thereafter.

Sorry what? N'Daw was a good strong midfield enforcer the type every championship team needs. I wish we could have kept him.
I'll never forget Wolves away when in Karl Henry's own backyard, now not forgetting Henry was also a player who liked to mix it and stamp his authority onto a game N'Daw had him up in the air within the first 30 seconds letting Henry know this was N'Daw's playground for the next 90. Henry then proceeded to hide, Wolves lost their bite and we won 2-0

No it is Leon Best. He was dreadful vs Lincoln City when a non league team schooled us. Poor attitude, poor touch, poor effort, poor skill, poor fitness.
