Brighton's worst XI

[Mancgull]

Ashley Neale as Centre Back. Proof that footballing ability isn't genetic.

Up front, Richard Tiltman, makes Leon Best look like Pele.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Turienzo is the only player who has ever actually made me laugh through his complete incompetence.

He was so uncoordinated and unbalanced, the summariser at the time once described him (when trying to chase down a ball) as like a demented cow charging down a spiral staircase whilst wearing stilettos! PML.

 

[Monkster]

The Arsenal comment just made me remember - Right Back - Justin Hoyte?

or possibly Joe O'Cearuill

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Johnny Dixon.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Mark Farrington

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Johnny Dixon.

He dated Holly Valance and is therefore exempt from any criticism

 

[Ninja Elephant]

And for good measure, stick Chris holroyd alongside him. We will never, ever, get a shot on target, let alone a goal!!

Watch the game mate, his runs and his movement pull the defence apart leaving space for others to exploit. The fact he didn't shoot, let alone score, doesn't MATTER. You don't understand the game.

Worst team;

Henderson
Hoyte Hawkins Carr Campbell
Carole Fraser Bennett McLeod
Hilton Mahoney-Johnson​

Carole was magic that first time, the second and third times he was pathetic. Fat Kevin McLeod deserves a mention, as does Darren Carr - utter donkey. Jamie Campbell at left back, awful player and Michael Mahoney-Johnson was a complete imposter. Signed on loan as a striker but ended up having a go at left back. I forget his first name but we had a guy in the second season at the Priestfield who played central midfield terribly, all season. His name was Bennett, but his first name escapes me. Atrocious turd of a player who was massively shown up by the QUALITY of Andy Arnott.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Didn't Turienzo score the first ever goal in 'The Championship'?

Molango scored after 12 seconds up at Reading on the first day. Not sure if there was an early kick off on that date otherwise he holds that record.

 

[Buzzer]

Mark Farrington needs to go in there somewhere, he was sublimely rubbish. Modern day players would have to include Ryan Harley, Kemi Agustein and that defender at Withdean who scored the beautiful diving header own goal*. His name escapes me. Oh...and Nathan Elder.


*edit - Colin Hawkins.

 

[Mackenzie]

'Silky' Dave Cameron
Les Briley
John Crumplin (wing)
Harley

 

[TSB]

Turienzo and Shane McFaul deserve to make it.
As does Hawkins.
Gavin Hoyte RB?

 

[Gwylan]

too subjective as some of our utter shithouse players we've had in the championship would look like absolute megastars in the 97/98 team

apart from leon best- he'd still look shit

This. Paynter and Obika look like Messi compared with Mahoney-Johnston, the worst footballer I've ever seen. And that's before we mention Christer Warren, Laurence Davies and co.

Even in the Withdean era we've had some shockers: Holdroyd, Dixon and Silky Dave Cameron

Not sure but Darren Freeman scored the first ever goal in the league in the 21st century...I think.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Darren Hughes, Dale Jasper, Mark Farrington, Micky Thomas, Les Briley, Raphael Meade ...

 

[TSB]

Didn't Turienzo score the first ever goal in 'The Championship'?

He didn't even come within a country mile of scoring a goal.

 

[Gwylan]

Darren Hughes, Dale Jasper, Mark Farrington, Micky Thomas, Les Briley, Raphael Meade ...

Did you nod off in the mid to late 90s? None of these would be close to the worst. Well, Thomas would be, but that was due to his lack of application rather than ability

 

[mr sheen]

Darren Hughes, Dale Jasper, Mark Farrington, Micky Thomas, Les Briley, Raphael Meade ...

All of them, plus Geoff Cooper.

If Henderson could have avoided saving every shot by pushing it into the path of the on rushing striker to tap in the rebound then he would have been world class

Surely Graeme concede two goals a game Smith should be up there?

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

He didn't even come within a country mile of scoring a goal.

Ah yes - it was Malongo I apologise!
