Three most disliked players from your times supporting blues and why.

[DTS]

In no real order.

1) Nathan Jones -
Half Man Half Rodent Judas, Who told everyone how much he loved the club after winning player of the season only to clear of at the first sniff of a bit more cash.

2) Martyn Booty -
Total clogger of a player who's only ball was an aimless put upfield into touch.

3) Gordon Connelly -
Dont think I have ever hated anyone more. Never once put any effort in except for a good half against Brighton.

:finger: to them all.

 

[SUFC_Al]

Only 3, Dave?

Graeme Jones - 30+ plus two seasons before joining us, absolute waster.

Christian Hyslop - literally couldn't kick the damn ball

Stuart Thurgood - possibly least talented footballer to wear a Southend shirt, yeah runs all day but ****e!

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Have to agree with the Connolly assessment so picking a different 3: -

Roger Willis - summed up the overpaid & underperforming mugs we employed back then

Jeroen Boere - ditto plus he was an ex Spammer

Christian Hyslop - slow & couldn't pass or kick a ball straight or tackle. They might as well have played me at LB

Don't agree with your pick of Nathan Jones though DtS, maybe not now but I'd have took him back at any point over the past 5 years. Guess he was part of the cost-cutting that the club needed.

Willis and Boere :finger: :finger:

What as in you agree with me or I'm getting the finger as you think they were legends?

totally agree with you Glasgow!

All they deserve is an emoticon giving them the bird!

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Billy Kellock
Chris Ramsey
Gary Jones

Current least favourite player is Lewis Hunt, but he doesn't come close to the 3 above!

 

[Uncle Leo]

Jeroen Boere - no doubt he was a talented player, but what a tosspot

Richard Young - just so, so, so crap

Mark Prudhoe - what a waste of space he was

 

[Napster]

Steve Hatter
Chris Ramsay
Dave Morley

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Graeme Jones - What a load of complete crap he was!!

Carl Emberson - What a ****er, ex-col ewe, total ****, Wignal's best mate!!

Martyn Booty - Thought the row z pass everytime was a good idea

Will probably find others I hated more later

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Carl Emberson - Wignall's best mate!!

More like son-in-law wasn't it?

 

[Einstein]

Graeme Jones - Total total waster. Most unfit player I have ever had the 'privilege' to watch in an SUFC shirt.

Mark Rawle - For the sheer way he led SUFC into believing he would always sign for the Blues and then did a runner at first sniff of money.

Mark Prudhoe - Another total waste of space and easily the worst keeper I've ever seen pull on an SUFC shirt.

Can I please have four and include Jereon Boere too with no reasons necessary!

 

[DTS]

Steve Hatter
Chris Ramsay
Dave Morley

Just hearing Dave Morley's name makes me feel unwell.

:mad:

 

[Uncle Leo]

:mad:

Hearing Dave Morley's name makes me laugh. But reading Chris Ramsey's name certainly made me feel queasy. I'd tried to forget him completely.

i was thinking that about Ramsay :D

Oh dearie me!

 

[Firestorm]

Trevor Whymark I have seen milk turn quicker
John Keeley -Shocking keeper
Mark Hone - way way out of his depth

 

[Slipperduke]

Scott Houghton, undoubted talent but refused to chase a loose ball. Ever.

Gordon Connelly, pub player who blagged his way in.

Neville Southall, I would have been better in goal than him.

I've also since heard that Neville would turn up before a game looking like he'd slept in a hedge, spend 90mins looking like a fat man stuck ankle deep in fresh cement and then trudge into the dressing room to pull on his crumpled suit and leave. No shower for The Nev. That's just weird.

no wonder we never saw the defence near him, smelling like that

 

[Benji91]

Mark Prudhoe - Couldnt catch a cold

Simon Livett - Set piece specialist who specialised in hitting the cars behind the North bank

Barrington Belgrave - rumoured to be quick, only picked up speed when playing downhill and gravity started to pull on his fat a$$

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

1. Keith Dublin - Keith was versatile as he was equally as crap in a number of positions. I think when he originally signed Spud described him as "someone who plays anywhere along the backline". This proved to be quite a prescient description, as although Dublin could nominally play right and left-back and central defence, this better described his ability to wander out of position and lose his man. I've the "highlights" from the 94-95 season (I think), and the recurring theme is seeing Dubbers standing there with his arm up, appealing for a non-existant offside, or pointing at someone to pick-up the man he should be marking - I think he might have lost his man for all 80+ goals we conceded that season!

Eventually Steve Thompson stuck him up front on the inspired notion that if he could cause half as much confusion in the opposition defence as he did in our defence, we were onto a winner. With Dubbers anchoring our defence we conceded 80 goals pretty much every season. OK, we were in the second division and playing some decent teams, but credit to Keith Dublin, even dropping down TWO divisions he kept up that level of inepitude, inspiring us to 24th in division 3 and we were similarly struggling in the 4th divsion until we finally got rid of him.

To make matters worse, when we signed him we not only gave away future premier$hite star Tommy Mooney, but we also PAID £100,000 to Watford. Shocking.

2. Drewe Broughton - Like Dubbers, Donkey Broughton is another player who caused much suffering for my beloved team. A player whose elbows caused opposition defenders more problems than his feet, Drewe was a pile of steaming, stinking manure. His "all action" "style" and wristbands blinded many fans to the stark truth that he was utter ****e. Many speculate as to the catalyst behind Southend United's rise from bottom two of the 4th division to the championship, but the truth is simple: dropping Drewe. As soon as we dropped Drewe we never looked back, well other than when we recalled him at the start of the season and unsurprisingly couldn't score a goal until we dropped him again, when once more we never looked back!

If one moment summed up Drewe, it was our game against Bristol Rovers when we were awarded our second penalty of the game. My heart sunk as I saw Donkey Broughton pick the ball up. I don't think anyone in the ground - himself included - expected him to score. We all knew he was going to miss, but I don't think anybody quite realised quite how badly he was going to miss when he scuffed the ball tamely, well wide.

3. Derek Payne - my dislike of him is such, that even bitch-slapping that other odious midget, David Speedie, is not enough to save him.
