We've all had shit crap players come and go for the teams we love, are there any crap players that signed for your team but you had a soft spot for them?

Mine for Everton would probably be Niclas Alexandersson and Amokachi

Corrado Grabbi probably. Got him in 2001 for about £7m, couldn't hit a barn door but he was fairly popular overall, could see he was trying so hard to try and impress but he just wasn't up to it.

He always went in the Italian restaurant that was in my village at the time, too.

None. Bobby Zamora is the greatest footballer of our generation.

He never played for Walsall but Emile Heskey. Unfortunately there's always some highly original cunt who has to drop his name in to any discussion about who's the best player ever.

Nicky Butt and Alan Smith I guess are my two, I'm not sure how far you could call either crap, but they certainly weren't the most talented in their crop at United.

Nicky Butt was a good player.

He just always played second fiddle to Scholes and Keane.

Harsh calling Heskey crap. He wasn't great in later days, but for the best part of a decade he was a phenomenal striker. I remember his Leicester days when he was an absolute beast of a player. Sadly people only think of the last couple of years when he lost it.

Dire player who I love anyway: Nat Brown.

Course he was, but he was never in the same category as the later two and always over shadowed, which is why I volunteered him.

I genuinely can't think of a shit United player I had a strong opinion on, didn't really love any didn't really hate any either.

Forlan, he was certainly always tried hard, just didnt do it for us at that particular time, still a very good player though

Not sure really, the most recent would be Warren Feeney, he tries so hard, works his ass off and can actually hold the ball up decently, he just can't do much else, but I do truly love him, he's just fun to have on the pitch.

Damon Gray.


Scored quite possibly my favourite goal in Thistle colours in YEARS against the old Rangers at Ibrox.

Didn't do too bad at the start of the 2004-05 season I remember. But he obviously couldn't keep the up and coming Ronaldo out of the team. Was a shit season too.
