Our worst ever striker?

[daza_1973]

John Spencer, Sandro and Brett for me three utter useless wage thieves.

Surprised Barlow hasn't popped up much. He was a shambles.

At least he was quick. Beattie looked like he was towing a caravan.

The worst one I remember was Stuart Barlow. He had the nickname "Jigsaw" because he went to pieces in the box.
played 76 games, scored 12 goals and got 2 assists. Came through the youth system I think and played for Everton between 1990 and 1996. He has a FA cup winners medal, even though he wasnt involved in the final. He played in the round of 16 game and in the quarter final.

Stuart Barlow - nicknamed Jigsaw as he went to pieces in the box - he was a local lad though & was lightning pace ... cost us nothing too - came up with the odd good game ....

I remember a derby at the pit 93 ish and Barlow came on second half at 0-0 , the lads pace took him clean through a couple of times but he absolutely ballooned his chances . We should have been a couple up , inevitably they scored in the last minute to win .

I won’t lie I cursed the player a bit on the way home after that but I wouldn’t swap three John Spencer’s for him .

Beattie what a load of crap he was one season 1 goal & that was penalty his other seasons were poor too - we paid 6 million for him - down the road at Crewe FC was a gem going for 1 million Dean Ashton - DM had lost the plot by then ....

We’ve had some bad strikers but who is your favourite baddest?
I’m sure I have missed some other duds…..
In no particular order of crappiness

Rod Belfitt
Stuart Barlow
Salomon Rondon
Cenk Tosun
Shani Tarashaj
Sandro Ramirez
Oumer Niasse
Arouna Kone
Mageye Gueye
Apostolos Vellois
Denis Straqualari
Royston Drenthe
Mickael Madar
John Spencer
Brett Angell
Warren Aspinall
Michael Branch
Stuart Rimmer
Bernie Wright


Fwiw my vote goes to Bernie Wright. A massive lumbering unit

Saved the best until last eh?
A game lad but truly awful.

 

[gedefc]

Forgot Sandro, played in that 22-0 friendly win.. and still didn't score

 

[T LEAFE]

Stuart Rimmer? I can’t place him; wiki says he played just 3 times for us between ‘81 & ‘85. A lad who came through our youth system but couldn’t cut it at the highest level, although he did go on to become Chester City’s all time leading goal scorer in division 4.

Yes another one

 

[TommyDavo]

I've never seen anything worse than Brett angel

The only man I’ve seen who would jump 2 feet in the air and his head was lower than when he was standing on the ground

 

[WinifredE]

The answer is the one and only Lacina Traore

Should have added Maupay , Ernie Hunt and Joe Harper

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

The answer is the one and only Lacina Traore

So a player with a goal every hour of game time is our worst striker? Worse than Maupay's 1 goal every 28 matches?

 

[carolinablue232]

The answer is the one and only Lacina Traore

Haha. The one match he played was that bad?

 

[WinifredE]

Haha. The one match he played was that bad?

Think off all the promise and excitement of having this absolute giant of a man come in, only for him to play 15 minutes, get injured and be out for the entire length of his loan - we paid his wages the entire time. Absolute disasterclass

He started his first game and scored, 3-1 win over Swansea
