Worst player to ever put on a town shirt? 11:49 - Aug 29 with 21049 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.

In terms of money spent vs return on that investment, a toss-up between Paul Taylor, Tamas Priskin and Lee Martin.

Priskin gets a pass because of THAT goal, the other 2 can have a battle to the death.

Ebanks Blake has to be up there. 0 goals in 9 games for us. useless


Harsh, he was never at full fitness when here.

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


Spot on. That away game at Wolves was one of the highlights of McCarthy's first season, and N'Daw totally bossed the midfield that day.

At the time he was playing bit parts for us, lots of people were suggesting Keiffer Moore fitted this description. I wonder if they've changed their minds now

The name Graham Harbey is forever etched into my memory.


Mine too.

But I look at him much less harshly now, we have had some fwcking shlt play for us since those days.

Has to be George Burley by a country mile, surely? The Marco Holsters, Graham Harbeys, Steve Stacey's of this world were just terrible players in the wrong place at the wrong time. Burley as far as I can remember is the only player who was so bad he destroyed the club

I remember Zeki Fryers was pretty shocking in the home game against Bournemouth when Mings was out for some reason, played in the next game against Huddersfield, then as soon as Mings was back he more or less disappeared.


This is the one for me.

Huddersfield away was probably the worst performance I have seen from a Town player ever. Absolutely abysmal.

Sam Parkin whenever he played at Portman Road. Not bad away from home though.

Adam Proudlock & Dean McDonald always gave me hope still.

This thread reminded me of that Big Ron Manager (old Peterborough documentary).

Shefki Kuqi's brother comes on as a sub for his debut for them, is subbed off after about 20 minutes due to being atrocious and then never plays for them again.

Not the worst but Bilel Mohsni was a weird one - 18 goals in 62 games for Southend. Could play as a centreback, winger or striker. Refused to turn up for training with them and was constantly getting sent off. He had a trial at West Ham and scored a goal and own goal. Had a trial at Celtic before joining Rangers where he was sent off for punching a player, punching and kicking another player and headbutting another.

Apparently he played 5 times for Town and I remember none of it

Lee Chapman. My grandad would have contributed more than him and he’d been dead 20 years before the Chapmeister turned up. Woeful, but hey, he topped up his pension.

Second place: Jonathan Douglas. Laughed at by opposition fans (Newcastle in particular), but it used to enrage me that a has-been like him, whose prime was 10 years before in the 3rd Division, was stealing a living and he was still being bigged up by MM as a ‘proper bloke’. He was proper useless.

3rd place: Graham Harbey. Staggeringly inept. It was like somebody in the crowd had won a prize to play with the team.

Honourable mention: Glenn Pennyfather. He played with a built up boot because one leg was shorter than the other. I thought he ought to have played in callipers. He couldn’t have been any worse.

I remember he came on in the 7-1 defeat at Peterborough but don't remember anything else.

You’d do well to remember that considering that game was over a year before Mohsni signed
