Your worst ever Villa player

[Dr Butler]

Callaghan and Ormondroyd both appear in this small clip from 1989/90

Bloody good job the net at WHL was in good order that night, otherwise that shot would have taken my head off.

Ormondroyd, I felt sorry for him every time he touched the ball, so bad he inspired pity and scorn in equal measure. He did try though, bless him.

He was also a regular in a team that finished runners-up in the league so he can't have been that bad, but what's that compared to the chance of a cheap joke?

With a transfer fee of £650,000, Ormy certainly wasn't cheap, but he was a bit of a joke

I thinki I'll take Graham Taylor's opinion over yours.

Tony Daley, Carlton Palmer, Geoff Thomas, etc. yes there's much to be said for Graham Taylor's opinion isn't there?

Tony Daley was fuckin ace, and the season we finished runner up and Ormandroyd played out on the wing he was excellent. Anyone who says different either wasn't around in those days and/or is talking out of their rear end.

He was pretty bad and arguably had we spent £650k on someone better we might have won the league

He was not bad at all. He was a perfectly decent player in a good team.

He wasn't bad. Awkward looking, especially for a winger, but that was all. If you're going to point fingers at anyone in that team, Cascarino was worse. If you wanna talk about buys, talk about buying the wrong player from Millwall.

Mrs S has maintained for years that I am odd.  I guess she has a point because, I actually liked Ormondroyd and didn't think him a bad player at all.

[YamYamVilla]

Steve Stone did my box in, thought he was shite !

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I didn't like Bernie Gallagher either. I seem to remember him appearing on the team sheet at Oldham away in the cup on the plastic pitch.

[Villa in Denmark]

Richard Walker.

He always looked like he'd been on the pitch as a mascot and forgot to get off before the game started.

Brian, I am surprised to see Stainrod on your list. I never got the impression he wanted to be here but IIRC in 1985-6 his goals kept us up. He wasn't a club legend but hardly the worst I have ever seen either.

I like the idea of an official Palme de Merde by the way. The opposite of the Terrace Trophy.

He was not bad at all. He was a perfectly decent player in a good team.

He was pretty damn poor when he first arrived and played up front. Taylor played a masterstroke by moving him out to the wing. You wouldn't believe it was the same player.

Worst ever Villa player? None of them whilst they are wearing the shirt. Delph, Hodge and Downing for me.

[Legion]

Sir Graham Taylor (Mk. I) turned us around.

If we run out of ideas with this fascinating topic perhaps we can go all anoraky and say who we think was the Villa player who gave Villa the least of the talent he undoubtedly had.   My vote would go to Milan Baros.

So many to choose from.
I'll see your Baros and raise you with  a Collymore.
