On the flip of this I never liked Mark McNally, Shane Westley or Jonathon Hunt yet they seemed to have their fans

Question Which seemingly universally hated ex-Shrimper did you think was OK?
- Thread starter Rusty Shackleford
- Start date
Matt Harrold is the obvious answer as I've defended him many times on here. However, I'd also like to nominate Dave McSweeney. Sure, he was no world-beater and, yes, he did score a hideous own goal against Orient but I personally thought he was generally half-decent when I saw him (I couldn't get to every home game back then). He was tidy on the ball, did a job in all three defensive positions and scored a belter against Carlisle.
I personally thought he was better than Mark Warren, who in my opinion was god-awful and somewhat masked his lack of ability by playing the fist-clenching look-at-me-I'd-die-for-the-cause card, which won some of the crowd over.

A bit like Barrett. Although god-awful is probably a bit harsh

I'm pretty sure that I'll be on my own on this one, but I thought Simon Livett was OK. Like any midfielder whose chief skills are their willingness to receive the ball and make simple passes, I think he was often judged on what others did with the possession he gave them. I defy anybody to form a thriving midfield partnership with Mark Beard.

Universally hated? Apart from Lndnfasto, and a few idiots towards the end of Marky G's time at Roots Hall, most people thought Marky G was the beez-neez...
