Amavi is giving Warnock a run for his money at being the worst left back to ever play for our club.

Your obviously much to young to remember Gordon Smith when he first signed for us.

I would cash in Grealish whilst he is still worth a bob.  He has struggled at this level let alone the premiership.  All  this inflated hype over 5 or 6 good passes in the semi.

I did say when he first signed for us, an absolute nightmare - like McNaught.

Witton Warrior at 60 years old I saw plenty of Gordon Smith including his start, Gordon settled down to become a very solid defender something Amavi will never do at VP, get rid at the first opportunity.

By the way WW I'm not saying I was 60 years old when I first saw Gordon Smith play for us. :)

No conversation about rubbish left backs is complete without the name Nicky Shorey. A player so bad his team mates would rather hoof the ball into touch as far upfield as possible than risk passing it 5 yards to him.
Jlloyd Samuel wasn't that great either.

Bouma had a solid season or two before his injury. But we have had some awful left backs "specialists" in recent times , Samuel, Shorey, Warnock, Cissokho, Amavi... I'm definitely missing a few, Kieron Richardson

The late Bernie Gallagher was always my tidemark, but several recent imposters have made him look like Andy Brehme

Really? he's still the absolute benchmark for me. Rubbish. Although, to be fair, Cissokho does give hima run for his money. Actually, now that I've thoguht about him, it's Cissokho. Gallacher was limited but game. Cissokho is - well how did one poster put it? Like a puppy chasing a balloon.

Nicky Shorey is by far the worst left back we've had.  Then again, it's a huge field isn't it?  Just looking at some of those names depresses me.

Colin Gibson, Gary Williams, Alan Wright, we must have had a decent left back since these but I'm buggered if I can think of him.
