walnutroof657 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm currently exciled in Vancouver Canada, I recently finished reading Fever Pitch having seen the film out here and Nick Hornby describes Gus Ceaser as the worst Arsenal Player he's seen and as he also 'graced' Ashton Gate it got me thinking of who was the worst city player ever.Apart from Ceaser two spring to mind in Carl Hutchings and Ray Atteveld.Do any others spring to mind?

22A Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Some signing in the Osman & Pulis eras have been slagged off on here, but Iwas thinking back and dived into the history book. During the first world war only two professionals were retained. The City team of 1917/18 played some friendlies (as the League was in suspension) against teams such as gas, locally based regiments and even factory and dock sides. The City team frequently consisted of anyone they could find locally who was available. Some of those unrecorded players may well be the worst ever.As for the worst professional player? Your opinion is as good as mine or the next poster's suggestion. I thought Gus Caesar was also in contention for ugliest player of all time if we ever get into that criteria.

Robbored Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Gus is one of most famous players, apparently.Sean Dyche and Andy Jones spring to mind.Dyche was very underated and his City career was blighted by a long term back injury.We didn't see the best of him by a long way.My vote would go Liam Robinson. I didn't rate Ian Baird or Scot Paterson either - not much between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterrimes Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 A favourite subject of mine. I've often thought this one through and would add the following names.Clemens Zwijnenberg, Colin 'Dead' Loss, Rodney McAree, Abdul Kamara, Brian Mitchell and Paul van Oupdibeek.

Squeak Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 In recent times, surely Tony Dinning has to come into this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest east_dundry_red Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 tony dinning is definitly one of then, what about gary owers? he was shocking towards the end of his city career, along with ivan testimutanu he did **** all, he wasnt here long just took his money and ###### off back to hungry! You can add harpel Sing to that lot aswell didnt he get "home sick" after about 3 games and went back to the midlands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolCity1992 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I think one or two of your comments are going to cause a stir of anger amongst some City fans, mainly the comment about Ivan.Anyway since I have been watching Carl Huntchings for me or Steve Jones first time round.

Loderingo Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Easy. Since 1990 I would say Andy Llewellyn, followed by lumbering Sean Dyche, Steve "where did you get that tan" Jones and Marvin Brown (who has to be most disappointing along with Robert Fleck). Special mentions to Dave "Mike Tyson" Partridge and Gerard "I predict a riot" Lavin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walnutroof657 Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 It's interesting that people only seem to remember players from the recent past, i was expecting a few from when we were down the bottom of the old division 4 players such as Forbes Phillipson Masters for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was TC's Western League signings eg John Palmer, Paul Williams, Simon Panes that weren't up to much, in fact Palmer must be the worst although I think he only appeared once or twice.

Dinning was ok when he was on loan, got his 2 year deal then took the p1ss.2. Words cant describe how poor he was, even if he was an international.3. I thought Elvis was a decent keeper although he did get beat from distance a lot.A few more names to add - Gary Stanley, Scott McGarvey,Paul Tisdale, Richard Dryden, Glenn Penneyfather, Dave Martin, Mark Flatts,Steve 'Rambo' Johnson, Mark Summerbell, Abdul Kamara, 'Marvelous' Marvin Harriott, Osei Sankofa & Lorenzo Pinamonte.

Leave Dave Martin out of this.Quality lower league player with little ability but pure effort.I remeber the time he got booked when coming on for a defensive corner after having a tussle with one player and squaring up to another.

WesM Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Keith Welch?? Worst City Player ever....Don't talk tosh!!He was a decent keeper for us, not saying he was the best keeper in the league but did a good job in the main and nowhere near our worst player ever.I have to echo some of the names mention already:Clemens Zwinenberg - horribly overweight and just.......horrible.Gerard Lavin - The touch of a skip driver and football brains to match.Brian Mitchell - That's surely all I have to say about that!Steve Jones - Couldn't hit a cow's ass with a banjo.
