Slowest Albion player?

[big nuts]

Our back four was pretty pedestrian in 97 when Gary Hobson was the speed merchant of the group. Tuck, Morris & Humphrey would have struggled to clock a sub 20 second 100 metres.

Never saw him run so hard to say if slow or not.

Bobby Smith - great player, great header of the ball and good goal scorer but I think the booze had taken its toll when he played for us. I don't recall him taking his shirt of to display a six pack - more likely a beer belly.

Marcus 'The Snail' Painter

 

[Whoislloydy]

Guy Butters

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Jake Forster-Caskey?

Only a loan for a month but Robbie Savage

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

for a player not at the end of their career, and in fact a proper youngster, Dean Hammond was ALWAYS slow

oh, and Joe Gatting

We have a winner. That's where I was going as well. The man could barely move when he played for us, but what a passer he still was, and he could hit a ball so sweetly. Remember him breaking the Wolves keeper's wrist in having a penalty saved in a 5-1 victory at the Goldstone the day we relegated them when Tommy Docherty was in charge, so hard had he hit it.

I remember that so well, it was in the 1984/85 season, and only my second ever Albion game. I had seen us destroy Carlisle 4-1 at the Goldstone earlier in the week, so having seen us score 9 and only concede two within a space of a few days I was well and truly hooked!

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Ian Goodwin

 

[JJ McClure]

Dirk Lehmann. Seemed to pump his legs really fast but barely move.

 

[wallyback]

Frank Worthington in his beer belly prime?

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Wonderful skills and great vision, but John Byrne was slooooooow.

In more modern times, Jon Obika seemed to go backwards in a infamous one-on-one sprint. Who can remember the opponents?

 

[hastings]

Darren Currie. hugely skillful, but no pace whatsoever

This was where my head was at too

 

[atfc village]

Mark McCammon (sp) deserves a mention in any thread for worst/laziest/slowest player.

He did have a wonky wheel though.

 

[Easy 10]

Phil Stant.

I could grow a beard quicker than he could cover 15 yards.

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lense]

Paddy McCourt.. he couldn't run could he?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Slo-Jo Gatting

 

[Simon Morgan]

Watching Guy Butters get outpaced by David Nugent with about a 20-yard head-start was a bit embarrassing.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Butters, shirley?

Agreed. I've seen glaciers move faster.
