That would be Kevin O'Brien. Played a few games centre midfield for us 3 seasons ago. He had less talent than he had hairQuote:

Brian O'Callaghan was poor enough, Dave Mulcahy was shocking altogether though!
Gareth Farrelly played about 20 games in total for us over two years
Was that not Jason Molloy? I thought Leech had gone by that stage but could be wrong.Quote:

In my time it has to be Darren jack. He was 6ft 5 striker that couldn't jump, win a header to save his life or shoot. Really have no idea why he was signed.
cause his dad played for us and was a short term successQuote:

Kildare was a walk in the park and he scored against Wexford. Athlone people rated him extremely highly whilst with them too. Maybe he wasn't quite ready for the Premier Division or something.Quote:

For Bohs:
Chris Turner - poison for Bohs though he seems to be doing okay with Dundalk now.
Andrei Peretoploytkin - just never adjusted to the game here.
have to say Nesovic is one of my all time favourite Bohs players. Will never ever forget that goal against Pats in Dalymount back in the Roddy season or his two fingers to the Rovers fans during the 6-4. Hero! :DQuote:

Andrei P. was OK I thought, just didn't get time to adjust.
Worst Bohs players I remember are Mark O'Brien and the tall, carrot topped absolutely useless centre-half that Farrelly bought unseen - Sean something? someone help me.....
Cooney?Quote:

Had our big money move for ex-St Francis striker Paddy Doyle not fallen through he could be on the list!
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. ;)
The worst ever Athlone player was at least 4 stone overweight had dodgy knees and almost cried when fans offered an opinion on him. That was a Mr Flanagan (I cannot remember was his first name Con or not). I've rarely seen our fans boo one of our own players so often and eventually the boos got through to him and he left the club.
Too early to say it yet but I'm confident Stephen Parkhouse will be one of the worst.
no need for that sligoman. give the house a bit of time.Quote:

:mad::mad: QUALITY PLAYER!! The leagues finest signing in years. Ireland is a poorer place for his loss:(Quote:

Alan Moore, big injured pie of a player.
Kyle Moran, Manchester United reserve - he must be good. Fenlon just loaned him out to Shels instead. Not sure if he ever got a game.
Greg O'Hallorahan - Jesus H. Christ.
Dave Rodgers - I was nearly in tears when I heard we signed this scouse ballbag.
Mark Cobey would be another one for us...worst keeper in the world.
We have had a pile of them, a lot have been mentioned here already, but the stand-out one, in trms of totally failing to live up to the hype, has to be, as Paddyfield said, Neville Steedman. Jesus H Christ on a bike but he was rubbish. Don't agree about Juan Rojas, had potential but Taxi Tony never gave him a chance. ON top of those mentioned by other United fans, also have to tip the hat towards the likes of Pat Morley, Johnny Gaynor, Steve Craig, Jason Kabia and Kirk Miller.
Cooney played for Coventry and Capper was capped at underage right up through.Quote:

agree on you on greg o 'halloran. outside of the pats game in flansiro when he scored a screamer in a 3-3 draw he wasnt a success with us at all and wasnt missed.Quote:

Jesus, were they bad !
Yeah but Cooney was at Bohs before Harps and was generally shocking during his stint there (and that's only going by EL Weekly snippets). Didn't Ian Rossiter win something at underage level? :DQuote:
