Name your worst fantasy team
OK peeps we all know the name your best Leeds 11 etc but can you name your worst side ever taken from the top tier of English football past and present.
Brolin will of course be up there for us but can you name a full team.
Please no one name the current Man Utd side.

Re: Name your worst fantasy team
To get us going I'll start us off with a goalkeeper :-
Massimo Taibi
And good contenders from ourselves must include, Roque Junior, Seth Johnson and Thomas Brolin.
A cert for the team must be that bloke from Southampton that Souness was conned into signing, came on as sub against us to be replaced 10 min later and never seen again. Can't remember his name.

I remember that. It was hilarious, the guy ran on the pitch ran around like an headless chicken then got subbed I bet he had to leave the ground pretty sharpish!A cert for the team must be that bloke from Southampton that Souness was conned into signing, came on as sub against us to be replaced 10 min later and never seen again.

Juan Sebastian Veron. When he signed for you no who for 30mill, I thought they had just captured one of the best footballers in the world, but he just couldn't adapt to the pace of the premiership at all. Strangely they sold him to Chelsea where he only went on to make another 7 performances in the premiership.
I can't think of another player who disappointed me more?

Gary Birtles when he signed for Man Utd.
Prolific at Forest, but couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo at Man Utd.

Saw Paul Okon at ER - desperately limited player, Sunday League at best.
Kevin Hird, anyone................?

Re: Name your worst fantasy team
The worst player I ever saw play for Leeds was fairly recently - Kebe, who came from Reading, even worse than Brolin.
The second worst was in the 1950's. Can't remember the guys name but the story went as follows: Leeds went to a Huddersfield game on a scouting mission. Following the game they signed the Huddersfield left back. The only problem was that the name in the programme didn't play and his place was taken by Ray Wilson who was supposed to be 'rested'. Leeds thought that Ray Wilson was the guy named in the programme and bought the guy named in the programme. I saw him play once. All he did, all game, was slide tackle the winger and put the ball into touch. Apart from that, he didn't do a thing. Couldn't pass, dribble, head the ball. Never saw him again after that one game.

I once played against Don Revie.
