Ok, what about the shittest players that have ever worn our shirt?
Tweety seems like a good shout but would probably compare favourably to a few I remember:
Terry Mancini {nice fella, complete shite}
Stepanovs {fuck sake}
Brian Hornsby {not very good at all}
I'm going to pass on Cygan, because, well, he looked so terrible because we were so good, but those others were awful in poor sides...Gus Caesar is also a legend for being rubbish but a bit unfair imo.
Vivas was pretty clueless.
Jeffers was pointless.
Baptista unfortunately was a disaster, had high hopes for him.
Yeah, but Vivas and Baptista had something about them that never quite did it with us.
Jeffers was a huge waste of time, agreed. "fox in the box" my arse...to think we had Henry and Bergkamp etc with him.
Inamoto? A bit shit. Glen Helder? One good cross and nothing else.
I didn't actually mind Nelson Vivas, until he let Hasselbaink drift in behind him at Elland Road.
Never rated David Hillier, or his ability at stealing luggage.
I saw Helder's debut against Nottingham Forest, the day George got sacked. He looked like a right player that night, but the goalscorer that night was pretty shit, wasn't he?
I give you Chris Kiwomya.
Jeffers is a bit like Christopher Wreh - pretty shit, but he did some good things too.
Inamoto gets my vote, I think.
I did think of Kiwomya, but did he even do anything to be recognised as shit?
Boy, we had some awful players at that point in time. Graham really did do his best to take all talent out of our midfield.

Chris Wreh will always be a cult hero!
Klaus, welcome!
Ahh yeah, Chris Kiwomya! He was pants. What was GG thinking?
James: Cheers! Great looking place, this.

What was he thinking though, seriously?
Unless it was the bungs, how could we go from players of class like Rocastle & Limpar, to the likes of Hillier, Selley....McGoldrick!
Eddie McGoldrick. Owns a pub about 5 mins up the road from me. How could we forget him.
Saw Inamoto in a pre-season game. He looked alright, as he did for every other club he turned out for. Only problem was he was a bit weak if I recall correctly.
Rami Shaaban? The only 'keeper to be even more average than Al...
Isaiah Rankin? I can only speak really of what I saw of him at Bradford but he was pretty poor. My Brentford mate loved him when he was with them though and I think he even managed to knock a Premiership (at the time) Southampton out of the FA Cup with a good strike.
Aliadiere?
Kiwomya and Helder- good calls.
Does Randall still play for us? I'd put him in as our current cackest player.

Mentioned this before on AM, but me and my scouse mates used to go on about who was going to be the greater Premiership striker, Aliadiere, or Neil Mellor.
Both used to bang them in for the reserves. There's been plenty worse than him though.
Yes, Randall is still on our books. Could say Gavin Hoyte for that matter...awful defender, don't know how he was ever rated by anyone...truly mystifying.

Dules got it spot on with Randall. Every time he pulls the shirt on, it's like they've invited a fan to play for the club as some sort of "Fans Day".
Shaaban wasn't that bad prior to breaking his leg, really. Kiwomya is a good shout though!

Yeah, he was my pet moan at the time...I think old Georgie boy started believing the hype about himself being a magician in the transfer market...Jimmy Carter, etc..

As did Lupoli, ended up doing nothing.
