Agreed! Everyone has an opinion on a player - but to "detest" him is a stupid statement. There is probably not a season where some player has ****ed offf a fan and that will always be the case. David Speedie and Perry Groves were pretty poor for us 'back in the day'.

Northant Saint Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Everyone seems to hate BWP, but I quite liked him. Ok he was a stealing chav, and was mostly useless on the pitch, but you cant argue he added some character and liveliness to the club. I remember he story once when he was the only player going towards the team bus after the game to apologise to the fans after a loss. Dyer on the other hand...

Rather like a motor trader having to take a worthless old banger in p/ex for a shiny new one. Spurs wanted to offload him and Rupert agreed to it so we could get more of Bale's fee "up front"
krissyboy31 Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Never hated a player that has pulled on the R&W shirt tbh. Quite a few I didn't particularly like and quite a few more I didn't rate but hate? No!

Great recollection of a dire bunch -but you ommitted Neil McCant

markr27 Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 What about the Torpedo, Arias(?). Did he ever play?

The Majestic Channon Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Do some of you really 'detest' players just because you didn't rate them????
Big_Bald_Si Posted 16 April, 2010 Author Posted 16 April, 2010 Appy said: What about the legend that is Zoltan Liptak? lol - I loved Zoltan. I actually did! It was just awesome that he was signed, a random Hungarian centre halve no-one had ever heard of - and he was brought off the bench, more often than not, to add some height up front. Couldn't hate him, he was well funny. lol
JackFrost Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Andreas Jakobsson - most people could walk faster than he could run
beatlesaint Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 I know its not the last 5 years but some have already mentioned him so for me its Stuart Ripley. Never wanted to be here, had one decent game and was utter ****e the rest of the time but thought he was Mr Wonderful. Was never a fan of Mark Hughes either but least he got stuck in.
NickG Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 remember Perry Groves warming up as sub when we scored and he didn't even smile.

Ash Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 Berkhamsted Saint said: Viafara Really? Never mind the goal against Derby? Forget that he played for Portsmouth, I love the guy just for that. Thinking about those goal celebrations is the only way I get wood nowadays. benjii said: Own goal was a freak. Are you saying that a missed penalty automatically means you played badly? So every player who's ever missed a penalty in a penalty shoot-out had a bad game? Stupid comment. Any player who's ever scored a freak own goal has played badly? His general play was excellent. He created Viafara's second goal with a great turn and pass and generally outplayed his defenders all night. We were by far the better team and he was an important part of it. If anyone should have been singled out as the scpaegoat for losing that tie it was Pele and not Best. Agree with you completely. He had a decent game that night (even Makin didn't play bad that night) plus he laid on a sitter for Skacel (I think?) near the end with a decent bit of play; it could have been so different for Leon and the super saints had Rudi been about two inches taller
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 GEORGE BURLEY, JAN POORTVLIET, MARK WOTTE, HAROLD ****FLAPP..................Well they were all players once...does that count?
NickG Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 dislike, or over-rated? didn't warm to adam hammill at all. over-rated: Adam Hammill, Jesus, Viafara in last few seasons but there have been loads!

Dislike - doesn't have to be a reason. There's loads of player's we've had that haven't been upto the mark - but I've not hated them all. Its not Lee Molyneux's fault that he's cr@p, so I don't dislike or detest the chap for it. And I loved Jesus. Absolutely loved him. I remember the West Brom game at St Marys, got fly kicked in the head by John Hartson, and rather than writhing around on the floor, he got straight up and carried on playing. Legend for me.
Ohio Saint Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 I read the first page, and am posting without reading the rest. It has been very cathartic to read this list of ******s. The first fifty posts smelled of lack of commitment and ultimate failure. Although I am happy for our future, I am sure that some of our current players (One already has) would grace a similar future thread. I am just happy that for the time being, at least, we have shed the stink of failure.

Mark Hughes falls into a small category of players who I detested before they arrived,did not want to see them sign and their time with us did nothing to endear them to me,as they seemed only interested in a payday with no real feeling for the club or the fans. Speedie,Dixon,Peter Reid and Sammy Lee are the others I can fit into that category from recollection.Oh,and perhaps Carlton Palmer. God forbid that Gary Neville or Paul Scholes could ever come near to joining them.

I think this board & the internet in general is a bit bipolar, you have to LOVE someone or HATE them with a passion. Maybe space is limited and there is no room for a middle ground.
ghq Posted 16 April, 2010 Posted 16 April, 2010 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Pulis. Not that I have met him or know anything about him as a person. His arrival and subsequent absence of much ability,have left the whole sad deal on the nose. Certainly doesn't help that he was part of a Rupert Lowe transaction. Even so, I don't detest or hate the bloke.
Pilchards Posted 17 April, 2010 Posted 17 April, 2010 Everytime Dryden was playing I feared the worse. Players I never warmed too was Speedie, Groves, Martin Foyle and finally the worse guy of the lot David Puckett......!!

I loved carlton palmer when he played for us, thought he gave his all every game and was better than people gave him credit for .

Hmm, of my nominations earlier in the thread, you're right I have nothing personal against McCann, I have bad memories of watching him 'play'. Do I detest him, no. BWP, however, still makes me angry, it was his attitude and off pitch crimes, mixed with his ****y uselessness. The way his association with Saints blackened our name. I genuinely fear I do indeed detest the scrot.
SNSUN Posted 17 April, 2010 Posted 17 April, 2010 Quote cannot think of any when they were wearing the red and white shirt +1, would never diss a Saints player while they play for Saints - although currently Pulis gets the laughs as he's not technically playing for us.

In the season he joined us,yes. The following season however -our 'great escape' season - he along with Hughes were largely responsible for completely upsetting any team spirit which caused one of our most disastrous starts ever. Only after he had been shipped out did things improve (IIRC).
