Pick your worse Leeds Team since 1970

Post by guitarmark »

Chatting to a friend the other day, in the pub, after the recent Derby win and tried to come up with the worse LUFC team

Criteria had to be 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation - After 1970 - Recall far more attackers then other positions - And I dare say most of our worse players have come in the last 15 years - Part based on recent memories and part as the 'glory days' have gone for now based on top flight football

So my 11 on a 4-3-3

Casper Ankergren

Alex Bruce - Paul Connolly - Roque Junior - M Duberry

Sean Gregan - Carlton Palmer - Jody Morris

Tore Flo Michael Rickets - Marlon King

Couple of points - I know many will throw in Seth Johnson - But to be truthful, he wasn't crap - he was just crap for us, partly due to injury, with little output based on transfer fee - Ditto for Brolin - We'd have loved to have had him 5 years earlier

Now a question - can't find his name - midfielder - Terry Venables era - and recall Aussie or Kiwi - but would add him to my team, so who is he

Interesting first post, gmark, I would say you could pick almost any team under Colin when he shipped out all of the decent players and brought in utter dross.

I'm working on a team, but could the player you're thinking of be Paul Okon?
There's light at the end of the tunnel and the future's looking very bright indeed.

There is no such thing as a worst team. Every man who pulls on that famous shirt is a hero in my eyes, who deserves only respect and admiration.

Here is my "Can't believe they got to wear the shirt" team:

Felix Whoopswald
Hayden Foxe, Armando Sa, Lamine Sacko, Teddy Lucic
Kevin Nicholls, David White, Seth Johnson, Peter Barnes
Luke Varney, Ian Rush

Head Coach: Dave Hockaday

I remember Paul Okon! Venables kept picking instead of David Batty...........

That is just a sample of the motley collection of dross we have been subjected to over the years.The odd one here and there we could carry but when there is a whole bunch thrown together with a clueless Manager/Head Coach and we end up in the doldrums and potless
