Have heard plenty about him but genuinely can't even remember seeing him play, so couldn't really include him in my XI
Same with Mark Fish | |

Some of Lamberts loan were atrocious, but Josh Harrop was especially bad. I’d swap out O’Dea for him.
Best for Ellington.
Malacyzk for Spence. |  | | |

Andy Marshall for keeper?
Dominic I-Awful ought to be in with a shout too. |  |

Douglas wasn't that bad.
First season especially he was ok. |  |

I’ll go:
ALB (not as bad as Norris but sinking feeling whenever I heard his name on the team sheet)
Graham Harbey (‘liability’ covers it)
Thomas Gaardsoe (Thought he looked promising. He wasn’t)
Polish Pete (must have won a competition in a pub to play. Couldn’t play)
Drissa Diallo (he was so bad in pre season my dad started taking the Mickey loudly. His misses was sitting in front, as we found out later. She didn’t look happy and neither did we. Hopeless)
Jonathan Douglas (gets my vote as the worst player I’ve ever seen in an Ipswich shirt). Just awful. Every week.
Giles Coke (was he actually a player?)
Georges Santos (Looked bad, was bad)
Nathan ‘Duke’ Ellington (you could have used his shorts as sails on the Cutty Sark and it’d never have lost to Thermopylae. Woeful player)
Lee Chapman (tucked away his pension dough here for standing around. Stole a living)
Sylvan Eubanks-Blake (see Ellington. The state of him…)
You are right. We’ve had a lot of dross here. All the ones you mention, Nolan, drusy, Balkenstein, Lee Martin - oh how Man U must have laughed when Keane actually paid money for him. The list goes on. |  | | |

Norris, Spence, O'Dea and Douglas wouldn't come close to a worst XI
you're looking at the adam proudlock, bilel mohsni, sean st ledger...players who literally did nothing for us |  |

How has this thread been going for over an hour and no one has mentioned Larsen Toure?
"The Guinean Beckham"!!!!!
Or is he excused for sheer comedic value? | | | |

You young ones have never experienced a goalkeeper the standard of Jim Thorburn, Jackie Milburn signed him from Raith Rovers who had been relegated with goals conceded in excess of 130. When we had Marshall Tony Garnett and I reckoned he was the worse since him but not as bad.
We also signed their centre half, Jack Bolton, who actually was not the worst. Jackie Milburn did have an eye for a player, Danny Hegan and Frank Brogan spring to mind, but he must have had an eye infection in signing Thorburn. His confidence was totally shot.
I have looked on the internet for his career and he is apparently revered in Scotland as a ‘legendary goalkeeper’ Says a lot for the standard in Scotland at the time! [Post edited 17 Jun 2023 14:01]

Thomas Gaardsoe?? Really. Didn’t hit the height expected but wasn’t terrible by any means, then did his knee and was never the same, but to feature in a worst ever Town 11, that is harsh. Very harsh |  |

Disagree of Darren O’Dear. Worst player I’ve seen in the flesh for Town over more than just one appearance. There have been Town players who have appeared once who’ve been worse but he was terrible every time he played. | |

How on earth is gaardsoe in the worst 11 he was great when he got going solid and scored from set plays sold sue to needing the money.
A player to add to the mix is Tony Dining so weak and did nothing on the ball, also jay mceverley the most negstive left back i have seen and also james Pullen in goal when he let 2 sitters in versus walsall i think awful as a player | | | |

Agree about Gardsoe and I saw the Pullen debacle but still stand by my view that Thorburn is the worst keeper we have had. | | | |

| Worst Town XI on 14:41 - Jun 17 with 4180 views | FifeITFC |
A few names off the top of my head for consideration.
GK: Tom Carson, Jon Hallworth, James Pullen
Defenders: Graham Harbey, Chris O'Donnell, Chris Swailes, Jordan Spence, Amir Karic, Irvin Gernon, David Hill, Jay McEverley, Dan Harding
Midfielders: Jonathan Douglas, Vemund Brekke-Skaard, Michael Cheetham, Glenn Pennyfather, Jon Nolan
Forwards: Gerry Creaney, Neil Woods, Lee Chapman, Michael Cole, Jonas Axeldahl, Rory Fallon, Marlon Harewood [Post edited 17 Jun 2023 14:55]

Being a mere whippersnapper you would not have any experience of the left back Graham Harbey in action...easily the most technically deficient player Town has ever had. |  |
| |
| Worst Town XI on 14:48 - Jun 17 with 4161 views | BlueBadger |
You could pick pretty much any lineup from 18/19 and it would be tough to argue against |  |

Wasnt Gaardsoe our leading scorer in that season of despond. Something like seven or eight I believe. Nowhere near this bad XI. | |

Thorburn played 10 games in Division 1 (top tier), then 14 after relegation to Div 2. He conceded 59 goals in those 24 games, including 6 at Liverpool, 9 at Stoke and 6 at Spurs, all in the space of a month. He kept just 4 clean sheets, oddly the only one of them in Div 1 was against Wolves, who included Ray Crawford, Town's all time top scorer! |  |

Agreed. He wasn’t close to this list. Went on to have a couple of decent years at WBA including in the PL afterwards too.
Dinning is a worthy addition. Very poor. [Post edited 17 Jun 2023 15:53]

Thomas Gaardsoe is the worst shout I’ve ever heard.
