Richard Hancox
Maurice Cox
Jason Rees
Russell Coughlin
David Webb

Too many to choose from - could probably name a hundred.

Jamal Easter (only saw him on a handful of occasions but he was so awful it was untrue)
Taiwo Atieno
Billy Bodin
Lloyd Macklin
Rene Howe ( not worst but least favourite as he's really p*ssed me off these last 6 months and ruined my opinion of him).

To be fair not many players have really annoyed me on a regular basis, players are entitled to put in a few crap performances and 99% of TUFC players these last 7 years have been ok but the ones above barring Howe I've NEVER seen a good performance from in all the times I've watched them so that is why I picked them.

Jean Pierre Simb
Mateo Pinto
Craig Easton
Martin Rice
Mark Coombe

Cant believe Jason Rees is in there, he always put in 100%.

Mine would be

Tony Bedeau
Gary Brabin
Lee Andrews
Ollie Gottkalkson
Chris Waddle

Jamie "Cat flap hands" Attwell
Matt Hewlett
Anthony Pulis
Carl Priso
Lee Andrews

off the top of my head-

habib sissoko
gary brabin
mickey evans
martin mcneil
jamie attwell

Mo Camara
Mikkel Anderson (although it sounds like he has since sorted himself out)
Jody Banim
Leo Fortune-West

Martin Phillips
Ollie Gottskalksson
Jody Banim
Lee Andrews
Richard Hancox

Buster Phillips?! How so?

In my opinion he tended to drift in and out of games too much and always appeared way too light weight. Whether this was as a result of the injuries and illness I really don't know, but I was never impressed with him.

Fair enough. Each to their own I guess

This list could be anyone from our relegation season, or the season before that really..

Jason Rees should get a reprieve for scoring the opening goal vs Barnet.

I can't think of any players I've really disliked over the years, after all, they were our players. In terms of performances for us, Chris McPhee is probably the worst player we've had that played a reasonable amount of games for us. I know he had a good spell with Ebbsfleet and Kidderminster, but judged purely at Plainmoor he was terrible.

i could add a few more

John Gayle: Horrendous, see his beautiful spooning of the ball over the bar against Barnet in THAT match for an example of what I remember him for.

Jason Rees: Scored a goal against Barnet. Dire apart from that.

Paul Holmes: I only saw him during his second term with us, but for me he just summed up everything bad about 'English' football. Would get the ball and, without fail, hoof it down the wing. Yuck.

Gary Brabin: Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. An overweight Jason Rees.

Habib Sissoko: Much the same as John Gayle, they'd make a LETHAL pairing.

Eifion Williams : Andy can say what he likes, but THIS man remains the biggest waste of money we have ever spent. Take away his debut hat-trick and he averages a goal every five games or so. Would miss chance after chance, I remember "Willoooo, Willoooo" echoing from the popside when he returned with Hartlepool, making a complete hash of every shot he took.

Jamie Attwell : You almost, ALMOST felt sorry for him.

Fully agree with the Eifion Williams comment. I lost count of the number of times he shot straight at the keeper when through on goal.

Paul Holmes was dreadful when he returned but this is more than cancelled out by how good he was the first time around in my eyes.
