Quote[/b] (southend4ever @ Aug. 17 2005,07:38)]Tes Bramble is the 7th worse footballer to ever grace the turf at Roots Hall as a southend united player.

That's a fantastic boast!

It's also total sloblock, to be fair. I can think of at least 7 players who have been worse than Tes - and that's only in the last decade.

*Gordon Connelly
*Simon Livett
*Tony Richards
*Neil Campbell
*Barrington Belgrave
*Mark Prudhoe
*Neville Southall

There you go, there's 7 players who were with us for far too long, and none of whom anyone could argue in their right mind were better players for Southend than Tes Bramble.

In fact, here's one for you... I bet that we can name 70 players whom, objectively, most people would be consider to be worse players for Southend than Tes Bramble.

All it requires is a further 9 people to name 7 players each who they think were worse than Tes Bramble, making sure that they don't repeat any of the names already picked.

So, who's up for the challenge - who's up for choosing "the Bramble 70"...

Come on glasgowsufc - must do better!  I need you to put up a list of 7, not complain that other people nabbed your choices!

I disagree, Keith Dublin was better than Bramble IMHO, singularly for scoring against Ipswich in 1996!

Right, consider me suitably chastised.
My revised 7 are :-

Andy Harris
Gareth Ridsbridger
Dominic Foley

plus

Carl Emberson
Christian Hyslop
George Parris
Sada N'Diaye (although he gave us all a laugh at Brentford when he floored their centre-half)

 

[Napster]

I don't think Sloppy was that bad- he did keep Powell on the bench for the Bury game after all!

 

[blues_r_best]

Darryl Flahavan
Freddy Eastwood
Wayne Gray
Adam Barrett
Spencer Prior
Maher 8
Mark Bentley

Yes, thank you Toddy. Are you sure you've got over your wobble in the pub...?!

Incidentally, what's the difference between all the players you list above & Tes Bramble...?

Answer: Bramble has never played football above the basement league. Says a lot about Tes, that does.
