Who was the SLOWEST ever player to wear the STRIPES ?

[TonyW]

Darren Currie, was the most disappointingly slow player, as he was superbly skillful.

Slowest footballer I have ever watched.
As you say, real shame as he could play.

 

[TSB]

Warren Aspinall. Has to be.

Or Ian Bard.

 

[kevtherev]

Darren Currie was so slow, he was actually slower than he looked.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Michael Mahoney-Johnson.....end of.....he wasn't just slow....he was static.

 

[Gwylan]

Ian Goodwin

Yep, his was the first name that sprang to mind; he had the turning circle of Torrey Canyon

 

[BN9 BHA]

Slowest player, it's got to be Clive WALKer.

 

[timbha]

Ian Culverhouse at Gillingham (but still our best player)

Glenn Murray (at Withdean vs Leeds) and at Brentford

 

[KingKev]

Adam El-Abd always looked like he was treading water.

Frank Worthington? Was well past his hip-shakin prime, of course!

Don't think I actually saw Frank move. Still class though.

 

[Saint Lennard]

Gerry Ryan, Darren Currie or Alan Navarro. Butters can be forgiven as he weighed two of those put together!

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Fred Emney

 

[Rogero]

Ryan Harlley.

 

[Grassman]

Jimmy Case was about as quick as a tug on the Mersey doing a u turn.

This has to be the right answer. When he returned in the mid 90s he was 40yrs old. But he didn't have to have any pace, just break-up play and make a simple pass, he did a pretty good job.

Aren't tugboats meant to be highly maneuverable

Not forgetting being sent off because he was old and deaf.

Does anyone know if Case is still walking to the tunnel at Filbert Street?

What a night that was! Pretty sure it was the same match that Stuart Munday scored a screamer. We also enjoyed a pretty good curry prior to kick-off!

 

[No. 25]

I think JFC is a tad sluggish for a player operating at international level.

Sorry mate, you seem to have misunderstood - this is a 'slowest player to wear the stripes' thread, not an 'any excuse to bash JFC' thread.

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Phil Stant

Well, you're no slouch, Megazone, you beat me to it! Great minds and all that....How about Robbie Savage in his loan spell? Or was his lack of speed just the outward sign of his inner complete lack of commitment?

 

[Iamapen15]

How about...

...................................Perry Digweed
Marcus Painter......Guy Butters......Glen Thomas
Warren Aspinall....Jimmy Case....Less Berry....Darren Currie
Bryan Wade......Ian Baird......Phil Stant

 

[goldstone68]

How about Charlie Livesey

 

[Megazone]

Kishishev is another one who's snuck under the slow radar.
