Eirik Bakke. Total shite. See also: Nicky Shorey.

Nicky Shorey - always gave me the impression he was a Plasterer* called Dave - never convinced he was a footballer

*He probably is a plasterer now ;)


Gosh , forgot Bakke played for us.  O’neil bought him then persisted in playing Luke young at left back 😳 , marvellous !

Think you've got mixed up somewhere, it was O'Leary who brought him in on loan the season before O'Neill started, and three years before Young was signed.

I think the worst player I've seen who played quite a few games was probably Aly Cissokho.

That's a fair shout, Hogan would be right up there as well.

Hogan had a good record before he joined. And while he was terrible it also didn't help that the dinosaur manager we had at the time decided the best way to service a 5'11 striker is to constantly pump balls down the wing to him. As opposed to creating a gameplan to take advantage of the attributes that led us to shell out what we did.

5'11, is that when he was up a ladder?

Apparently he is 1.8M which is 5'11

I didn't mind Hogan too much. You could see why he had goals in him. Gestede on the other hand, oh dear.

Gary Penrice.  For a million or so in 90/91(?) that was big money at the time wasted.

He was a punt at 500k.
Never really Prem standard, but in fairness he always gave his all.
Could never be accused of not trying
