Which players do you feel that have played for us have been flops for us down the years. Post your players here.

I would pick former West Ham star Paul Kitson last season and Geoff Pitcher (although I feel sorry for him, due to his injuries).

My Team Of Nightmares would be (playing an adventurous 3-4-3 formation due to the abundance of shit Albion strikers over the years).

GK: Mark Walton

Defence: Ashley Neal, Glenn Thomas, Jamie Campbell

Midfield: Les Briley, Dale Jasper, Christer Warren, Ricardo Gabbiadini

Forwards: Mark Farrington, Richard Tiltman, Frank Stapleton

The gauntlet is thrown, I challenge anyone to come up with a crapper team than that. Without using any of these footballing thoroughbreds. Doubtless there are plenty of other candidates....

You'd have to add Grant Horscroft to the defence, surely... and find a midfield berth for Geoff Cooper.

And a manager? Sorry, but it has to be Martin Hinshelwood. Never should have been given the job.

OK edna, I'll give it a go...

GK: Tony Meola - definitely worse than Walton

Defence: Agree with Campbell, Neal and Thomas. would have Paul Sturgess in a 4-4-2 instead

Midfield: Jason Peake, Martin Thomas, Warren Aspinall, David Lee

Forwards: Farrington, Bryan Wade

Bench would have to be 5 forwards, because (1) this team would always be chasing the game rather than leading it and (2) you are very right about the glut of crap forwards over the years!

Damn, I forgot Andy "clown shoes" Petterson, surely worse than Meola?

Martin Thomas was hysterical, all he'd do was come on as sub, tackle like a mentalist, get booked, and then the final whistle would go.

Phil Stant should probably be in there, but I'll let him off, for that diving header 3 inches above the ground in the Div 3 Championship season. Dave Cameron however, makes the bench for me.
