Some howlers for us down through the years...

Luigi Fulloni - played for us in the 1978/79 season. By all accounts he was shockingly bad.
Tiao - Brazilian midfielder played around 1985. Once remember he took a free kick and managed to hit the corner flag.
Brendan Ormsby - came over to player/manager for us the first season we spent in the RSC (93-94). Almost wished he stayed with Villa.
Duncan 'Drunken' Burns - won a League cup with Blues in '85. Scored off the pitch more often than on it.
Donal 'Donuts' Golden - scored a memorable goal against Rovers in the Cup in '97. Overweight and couldnt hit a barn door. Missed a sitter against Shels in the Cup semi which would have got us to the Final. Most frustrating player ever.
Mitchel Ryan & Deccie Brady - jesus i'm lost for words for these two useless goalies.
Brendan Markey, Padraig Dully, Darren Browne, Joe Doherty, Paul Carr, Rodney Jack, Tim McGrath, Joe Harkin, Joe Lawless, James Carthy, Dyl Kavanagh, Kevin O'Brien, some of the donkeys from the Sheephead Flanigan era, ditto for Magic Mike (Paul Ometeso, Kristian Lamberski, Chris Deans, Andrej Polewczak, Gavin Doyle)......and the worst that I have ever seen line out in a blue jersey.....

Jason Kabia.

say no more.

Ah Jason Kabia....What a legend :D

[BobtheDrog]

Jamie Nolan, followed by Danny Drew, followed by Anton Mannering

Wouldn't argue with Nolan, a lazy, disinterested, poisonous little weasel with an inflated opinion of his meagre talents, Mannering was poor without being comically bad (except against Sligo when he always scored). Can't Pass O'Brien was a disaster, genuinely had some talent but the worst attitude in the history of the game even before one glanced sideways at his uh... social addictions.

Mike Kerley's second year in his first stint threw up a few contenders I'd assert: Stephan Jauney was the best (by which I mean worst). He'd hare and dart all over the field for 90 minutes, constantly arriving at the spot the ball was in about 4 seconds earlier. I have NEVER seen a man cover so much ground for so little purpose.

Ebbie Quigley tried hard but had no more business playing senior football than I do. Tragically, if a little comically, his only goal after a season of toil up front, was disallowed for the worst offside decision I've ever seen.

Ollie Keogh languidly trotted up and down the line that season for a few games too.

Andrew Keeshan was nominally a goalkeeper who's probably fondly remembered in Waterford to this day for his stellar efforts to gift them something in a 4-3 defeat for Limerick at Jackman first time around.

Chris Kearns was a bit of non event too. Think he's with Tralee in the A Championship now.

James Hayes spent a year hiding from the ball in our midfield. Pretty sure Scrufil is describing him here though:


There is a certain player on the current Athlone team who plays in midfield and was ranted and raved about as an underage player a few seasons back and for me is a complete waste of space but as beggers cannot be choosers and the club is still at the begging stage I'll not reveal who this is. ;)

Anthony Hayes ;)

His Dad is apparently rich you know.

James was grand. :)

[sadloserkid]

I did mean Anthony. :o

James is nowhere near that terrible.

Robbie Doyle Bray

[Dundalkjames]

James Hand

[bholg]

James Hand

he never really got a chance in fairness to him.

[da bishop]

frank browne,darren young,mick ahearne at limerick spring to mind.

[monutdfc]

he never really got a chance in fairness to him.
Nor at Monaghan; I'm convinced he ran over the manager's dog. He'd be our best player one week then dropped the next.

[Black and White]

he never really got a chance in fairness to him.

He was overweight! For a former irish International he fairly packed a few pounds.

[The Lilywhites]

It's all muscle actually :)

[Black and White]

It's all muscle actually :)

Is that from eating Mon dogs when he went home!
