Yes another one of those best/worst threads, this time it's for players who always seemed to score against you or even someone who you never liked who played for you.
I'd have to go with Conor Gethins who seems to score at least 6/7 goals against us every season.
But the big shout out has to go to Davy Byrne even though he has been at the club a short time I have to say I cannot stand this guy.

yeah Carlin but he was just a total cult as opposed to a cult villain...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Peter Hutton - most annoying / worst referee in the league
Derekkkkkkk O'Brien.
Gary "sicknote" Beckett, what a waste of space that tool was.
Peter Hynes because he is a tit

Colin P. O'Brien (or simply Can't Pass) and Jamie Nolan. Both arrived from Cork (initially on loan) and spent the duration of their spell with Limerick with their respective noses in the the air (though there were other stories about O'Brien...) and at a lesiurely stroll as they dreamt of future glories at the highest level of football once their purgatory in Limerick was over.
O'Brien could at least play a bit but had the worst attitude I have ever seen in a footballer. He literally spent more time rolling his eyes and shrugging his shoulders than he did moving at any pace faster than a brisk walk. He once claimed a goal (robbing another player of a hat trick) when he was lying prone on his side facing away from the ball and it clipped him on the way in. Down two players to injury on the stroke of half-time against Bohs in the League Cup (last four or last eight) and holding to a 1-0 win he ignored the pleas of one and all to track back while Limerick were defending a corner. Cue the first steps on our way to a 4-1 defeat. Once described to me by a team-mate as 'biggest cult' he'd ever met. Annoyed at being dropped to the 21s at one point he turned up for the game in such an Eamonn Dunphy type of state that Dunphy would probably have contributed more (manager still made him play though).
Jamie Nolan was more of the same except he had no discernible talents whatsoever.
EDIT: Being unfair to Nolan. He had an ability to frustrate like nobody else.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
my cult villians for longford town are greg o'halloran,alan cawley and alan reynolds. All O'Halloran and Cawley did when they played with us was whinge. Alan Reynolds was always getting sent off with us and surprise surprise he got sent off in his last game for us against finn harps in 2002...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
John Kearney for me

Richie Winter
Coleman for Ireland
Hynes is a good player, just thought of an obvious 1, Colin Scanlon.

Eric Lavine
He walked out after a game in Longford when he couldn't take criticism from manager Don O'Riordsn. Lavine thumbed a lift back to Galway rather than get on the team bus.. Ironically, he then joined Longford after he was kicked out of Galway United.
A few years later, he rejoined Galway United and was dropped from the squad for not turning up for training. He rang a local radio station and was humiliated on the air.
He was shafted to Athlone.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
