Can anyone remember if Bruce Grobelaar's home debut was preceded by a warm-up and hitting the Chaddy End crossbar from outside the box with 3 shots out 3?

Hes certainly got a seat at the top table for worst player others include the likes of Phil Starbuck. Rocket Ronnie Jepson Kiegan Parker, Joe Colbeck, Dean Brill and Warren Feeney amongst a long line of others who I've forgotten about that itself is a thread on its own.

Rather have Brill than Cor-fucki-nell

Jamie Reckord's performance at Lincoln gets him into that august company

I can vaguely remember his warm up was taking penalties trying to hit the post rather than the crossbar. I only remember him seeing him play that 1 game against Burnley when we drew 3-3. He was pretty shit and I got my first glimpse of what Burnley fans were like. I.e. the type of men who eat Bananas with their feet and attempt to breed with vegetables.

Yep, remember it very well.

Still without question the worst player I’ve ever seen in a Latics shirt, followed closely by Neil Moore.

 

Neil Moore was a strange one - I think the guy suffered stage fright, I did think he had some basic talent unlike some of the others mentioned but at Oldham everything he did or tried to do was a disaster and he just got worse. Feeney was the biggest fraud of a footballer I have ever seen. The in-laws were massive Stockport fans and they worshipped him. How the hell he played so many games for us I don't know.  It was not a lack of confidence like Neil Moore that made him shit it was a total lack of effort and to me that is the worst crime.

Dr Diego Cervero, now aged 34 and playing part-time, has already scored 23 goals for CD Mirandes and exceeded his previous best of 22 in the 2012-13 season with Real Oviedo.
