    Jesper Jorgensensensen is my fav. played everygame with his back to goal, appalling first touch and could miss an empty net with a dead ball from a yard out, lanky, awkward, cowardly idiot who thought that we were a stepping stone to English football!!!!! Grrrr.
    Shaun Fagan, at least, had one good game and could put the boot in when necessary, Juan Rojas was a nice guy at least and Dimitri Brinias at least had the good grace to go very very very far away after he left the club..... Greg O' Halloran has to be there as well, came played ****e in 2-3 games and then broke someones leg in training....
    innit though??

    Ola Tidman for us. He used to be the Sheffield Wednesday keeper. I was excited. He was rubbish.

    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.

    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.

    It was Leech. There's video evidence on Youtube.

    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.
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    I backed Leech to be top scorer in the league at 50/1 last year... If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have backed him at 5000/1!
    No this was when Billy Clery was in temporary charge before Judas came. Leech was fined two weeks wages

    The fact we actually paid a scandalous amount of money for him is worse.

    Or Peter Barnes in the 80s. At least his kit never got dirty as he did bugger all
    I can't believe you left out a player so bad they named an award for incompetence after him. The bigest waste of space ever to come out of Liverpool.

    I'd say it would have to be between Seán Kelly, Brian O' Callaghan, or Tony Tynan...

    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?
