Players everyone else seems to think are brilliant but you think are rubbish

Alan McCormack scored a cracker from that game as well

Let's add him to the list then. Never understood what others saw in this bloke.
I guess the fact that he's carved out a decent career for himself means I'm the one who's missing a trick here!

Even Tilly didn't see much in him when he let McCormack bugger off on holiday during the middle of the season.

Andy Sussex, although he scored a screamer of a goal against Luton, when we had to win to stay up in 93.

 

[Parold]

Shaun Goater was actually rubbish at Southend.

 

[Tampa Blue]

It's the other way round with me i.e. players that I thought were brilliant that everyone else thought were rubbish - shows that i know sod all about football!!

 

[thenobster]

Maher for sure... derick parker too

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Moussa - never understood his appeal. A poor man's Kane Ferdinand.

Osei Sankofa. When we were in league one, some people genuinely thought he was good enough

Steven Hammell. Good first touch but overweight and an even worse positional sense than Simon Francis. Should have stuck with Che.

I have never understood the popularity of Anthony Grant.

This. Some people seemed to love Hammell, but he was a big part of why we went down. Never seen a player so consistently out of position.

Easy one a certain Steve Tilson most over rated player ever, a good player and no more, thats why he only played in the lower leagues and never played for even a medium sized club, scored one good goal per season and done sod all for the rest, certainly one of our most lazy of players. Please do not say he was loyal to Southend its just no one else wanted him.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Though a nice guy, as I did meet him, I never thought Andy Rammell was any good though he was really popular with all those I sat with,whereas I always rated Boere and couldn't at the time and still don't understand why he was so disliked.

Che Wilson. Got away with being **** as he was a nice chap. Got exposed by every decent winger he faced. More lives than a cat. Totally sub standard player sadly.

Shaun Goater was actually rubbish at Southend.

That is ridiculous. in my opinion.

He was here 1 season and we got promoted to the championship.
He played a big part in that.

Have to disagree, Tilson was part of a double promotion winning team and was hardworking and consistent in my opinion.

Agree with the earlier posts about Roy McDonough, totally overrated and poor player, with a terrible attitude.

I dont think anyone else thought he was brilliant though. He was cheap, understood the game and allowed other luxury players to flourish.

Stan Collymore when he was with us....LAZY/Bad attitude

Couldn't agree more.

I never got the feeling people rated Che. More that he was all we had, and always put a shift in, so people got behind him in a sort of 'so bad, he's good' type of way. We should do that more often with players rather than screaming at them.
