Only 2 league starts where he was torn apart in both, 1 of which he was hooked at half time. Got to be up there? |  | | |  |

No you're right. It was Matthew Bates. |
In that case Proudlock's still in with a shout of at least a "Worst loanees" squad place, isn't he? |  | | |

Just ran a query and got this... Will depend on the engine and what info it has access to
(I have no recollection of who Jordan Graham is!)
One of the most frequently cited candidates for the worst loan signing in Ipswich Town's history is Jordan Graham, who joined the club on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2018.
Why Jordan Graham's Loan Was So Poorly Regarded
Minimal Impact: Graham made only four appearances during his loan spell, failing to make any significant contribution on the pitch.
Fan Discontent: His performances were met with frustration from supporters. One fan notably remarked:
> "His Town ‘career’ is summed up by a pointless dive against Norwich and that awful free kick against Hull."
Early Termination: The loan was cut short in January 2019, with Graham returning to Wolves after just a few months.
While other loan signings like Mark Fish had brief or underwhelming stints at Ipswich, Graham's lack of impact and the swift termination of his loan make his tenure particularly notable.
Honorable Mention
Mark Fish: The South African defender's loan spell in 2005 lasted just 45 minutes before he was substituted and never played for the club again.
In summary, while several loan signings have failed to meet expectations at Ipswich Town, Jordan Graham's short-lived and ineffective spell stands out as particularly disappointing. |  |

Think the bigger disaster was being unable to properly replace Murphy. Really very poor. |
Would have been a nightmare trying to replace a key striker for £3m within a week even with a competent ownership. I remember struggling to think of options - were we interested in Lukas Jutkiewicz back then or have I made that up? | |

Definitely were at some point although can’t remember if it was then or another time. Pretty sure that Conor Washington was one we did try for though, what a time to be alive |  |

Yeah, Washington was our main target and I seem to recall the fee they were asking shot up once we'd sold Murphy and we then balked at the deal. |  |

Well that was a pretty good response from AI. better than the response to me which included one player who made a good impact and one who want on loan.
I had to look up JOrdan Graham, I had completely forgotten about him. No-one else has mentioned him either so seems totally forgotten. An indicator that he wasn't up to much. |  |

Mentioned on page 2, and as the poster correctly said worthy of mention as he was a terrible loanee not once but twice! | |

Who was the loanee with the big tackle who took a Norwich player out? |
Yes, it was Matthew Bates who launched the ghastly Luke Chadwick into the hoardings. I wasn’t too far away and it was epic to see. As was the grin on Bates’ face. I’m not normally a fan of players getting injured, but I made an exception in Chadwick’s case. He’d scored and given it large. Wasn’t so chirpy a few minutes later when the stretcher arrived. I laughed like hell. Cruel? Nasty? Uncalled for? Yeh, but never mind eh.
Back to the OP, Godfrey was awful. I confess I struggle to remember the bad loanees, but I do remember Tony Dinning. He was laughably poor. Couldn’t pass, run, tackle, head or shoot. Apart from that he had it all. |  | | |

You’re sure about that? Without looking it up, I’m pretty sure I remember him scoring a penalty for us. |  | | |

He's probably getting mixed up with ALAN 'One Pen' Proudlock who played for us in the 60s | |

Common misconception that Quaner was 'rubbish". Struggled for fitness at first, as did Keane (we were going down, we weren't going to find genuinely decent options), but put himself about and scored a few.
Hurst fcked us that summer before, we never had a chance that season. |
Agree strongly with this - not very fit and not great in the air for a big fella - but scored the winner against Leeds when we were down to 10. How can he possibly be worse than Harrop? | | | |

Gone through the entire 2005/06 and can't find a midweek penalty scored, let alone by Proudlock.
Can only assume your mind is playing tricks on you. | |

All these years (and still now) I can picture him scoring a penalty- yep, mind must be playing tricks on me.
For what it’s worth - the pen was at the SAR end and it went bottom left with the keeper diving the other way. | | | |

Well if you want to trawl through Pride of Anglia and put us out of your misery, please do.
I can't find any record of it and their stats all say 0 goals, including Wikipedia (admittedly not always 100% accurate). But if you know best... | |

No….i fully admit that I’m wrong and that my mind is playing trucks on me. Just that my memory of it is quite strong despite being wrong. Wasn’t doubting you at all. | | | |

I cannot believe a 4 page thread and no mention of Conor Sammon. Consistently excellent at missing open goals. The height of crapness. | | | |

Personally would put Marlon Harewood ahead of Sammon. | |
