Players everyone else seems to think are brilliant but you think are rubbish

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Southend players of course. Mine was Keith Jones, totally over hyped IMO. I remember going to Wolves away midweek where he did next to nothing but the fans were wetting themselves everytime he went near the ball - I just couldn't understand why. I wasn't a big fan of Benji either but he wrote himself into fan folk law so I'll stick with Jones.
Don't get me wrong - I think he was a good player, just not for us.

Jonathan Hunt

I honestly can't recall him doing much

CC51DAS had a shout at 60 minutes of "Baths ready Jonathan"

Controversial but.....
Roy McDonough, poor footballer with poor attitude a worse temper and not a very good book

wow. I loved Hunt. Scored some great goals.

Mine would be JCR - did nothing of note. Ran a bit, got lost, kicked the ball into touch.

 

[Pubey]

Agree about JCR. Although he was good at taking the pressure off the defence (c.f. The Man U game).

Kevin Maher was very overrated by some.

Almost agree with you there apart from the 2nd leg of Southend v Spurs in the League Cup. Before he was sent off in my view he produced the complete Centre Forward performance everyone knew he had in him, but didn't show very much.

The troll within me is really tempted to say John White, and I'm sure just the mention of his name will have got OBL's attention!

Blasphemy. He was far from a great Championship player, but he was good enough and the other factors are what made him so loved.

The two goals he scored against Preston were quality!

Alex Revell

You are Geoffrey King, the well known judge of footballers.

 

[AndyT]

Neville Southall when he was with us! :blush:

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Will Atkinson, people don't stop going on about who good is! Does my head in...

 

[AndyT]

.. Old Will, who once scored a goal in the Premier League.

Surely not. :winking:

Alan McCormack scored a cracker from that game as well

 

[Blues 'n twos]

Straker! Was never the "answer"

He did indeed, it was one of my favourite away games. It was also when Michael Ricketts was playing for Preston.

 

[lombard]

Deegan. Say no more !!!

 

[rayleigh dan]

JCR sprang to mind immediately though I think he divided opinion somewhat rather than it being only me.
