Worst player...

**pineapple stu** · 15/03/2005, 6:35 PM

Don't know if this has been done before, but seems the obvious question to pose in parallel to the Club Cult Hero thread.

Who is the worst/most disliked player/manager your club has had? I'm sure this could get interesting, especially if someone appears on both lists!

For UCD...Has to be Paul Doolin (cue moaning from the Drogs fans!

). Got us relegated with a decent squad, made some woeful signings, ignored the scholarship scheme and then had some very high-profile, spiteful and ill-informed spats in the papers after.

Playerwise...can't get much worse than Barry Andrews. Or so I'm told - missed his only game for us. 3-2 defeat to Bray in the League Cup, where he was responsible for at least two of the goals. I'm sure Bray fans may have fond memories of him though!

Think it has been done before but, Darren Jack for us, simply because he was a striker who could'nt score any goals

Great player with Derry when he contributed to our 1997 league title.

Felix Healy has to be the biggest ass wipe in Irish football.

Indeed he also contributed hugely to Derry's success...

Would probably put Liam O'Brien slightly ahead of Noel Heartigan and Gerald Dobbs although I always thought that Heartigan got more grief than he should have, especially as he was an internationally capped player

Manager: Eddie May came in after Martin Lawlor and got relegated he had recently left cardiff city and brought in some of their younger players on Loan Nugent who was pretty decent and Dai Thomas who wasnt (he's also now banned from attending football anywhere in the uk due to his participation in the hooliganism in euro 2000) also brought in Rod Wallaces brother Ray, the club was broke and spent a year rebuilding before anything cud be done.

Player: Those of you who may have over the last year or so picked upa copy of Forza Drogs the drogheda fanzine may have noted that it always contains 'The Dave Smith award' this award is given to sumone who shows complete ineptitude or that we just don't like (Referee Jim O'Neill has won on several occassions) this is due to the fact that in our first year back up in the Premier division we signed an experienced defender named David Smith who had made numeous appearances in the Nationwide leagues, one can only look back and wonder how, he was muck and on big wages he played a handful of games before returning home to his family in Liverpool although still being payed needless to say not as popular guy on Boyneside.

Manager: Well it has to be Mahon doesn't it. Totally out of his depth and moany ******** who blamed the supporters when it all went wrong

Player: Well at the moment it's Keddy. Utter sh�te.

**Terry** · 16/03/2005, 8:33 AM

or Sean Byrne

**Hibs4Ever** · 16/03/2005, 8:36 AM

At moment Gary McPhee

Hope he proves me wrong though

Have to agree Keddy it poor.

For us as poor players go, well at the moment (and the past couple of seasons!) it has to be daddy's boy Stephen Long (yep, Devo's son in Law). I'd say it was part the deal in giving him a contract "you take my daughter of my hands and I'll give you a run out on a friday night"!!). As poor managers go, we've only really ever had the one! Dev-yoyo!!!!!

**Ash** · 16/03/2005, 9:09 AM

Jebus, where do I start ...
Most recently Niall Donnelly-had him on loan from Drogs, he's now with Bray.
Possibly the most talentless "player" Ive ever seen

Back through the years...
Glen Fitzpatrick
Peter Finn
Eamon Donoghue
Mark Patton
Eric Smyth

Alan McNevin and Shane Harte got a hard time, Alan just never fitted
into th eteam and Shane was too lazy. Of course both banged in goals
against us when they left!

Managers:
Joey Malone - made some dubious signings, although he did bring Jan Fitzell
to the club and he was deadly

Dermot Keely - walked away after a few weeks at the club.
