Worst Ever Saints Midfielder 11:08 - Sep 10 with 1996 viewsSaintNick

Who is the worst midfielder that has played for Saints (Wingers not included thats a separate category), criteria is.

1. Keep emotion out of it, Gavin Bazunu is far from the worst keeper that we have had.

2. They have had to have played for the first team more than just a couple of games in an emergency, genuine first team contenders only.

Paul Wotton
Utterly shit and used to strut around thinking he was Johan Cruyff

Also whilst he’s not the worst I remember going to a pre season friendly at Wycombe in the mid 90’s and when Neil Maddison came on as a sub the geezer next to me shouted there’s literally loads of shadows to chase, cruel but sadly true

Harsh on Neil Maddison, he was a good steady midfielder who made 169 League appearances for the club, all in the top flight scoring 19 goals

He played most of them in a team that was struggling against relegation

I suspect Shotters wasn’t at Upton Park on the last day of the season many years ago when Maddison scored a header in the 3-3 draw with West Ham, a result which kept us up once again.

Personally, I thought Le Gods display that day was his best ever. He scored a brilliant free kick just before halftime, put Dowie through for a penalty which he then scored and the ball on Maddison’s head for his goal. A world class performance.

Yeah I was, I remember the game well and getting pelted with coins during the pitch invasion at the end
Met all the players in a moody boozer in east London after the game as we were members of London Saints then

Paul Wooton, jesus he was sh*t. I remember some of our fans getting angry about Morgan replacing him too because they thought Wooton was better.

Also agree on Jermaine Wright and i'd personally throw Oscar Gobern into the mix too

A chap I used to know supported Plymouth and was shocked at my response when he asked what I thought of him. Apparently he was a bit of a legend there

From memory Paul Telfer got quite a lot of abuse, was he that bad or a passenger in a decent side?

Agreed.

Neil Maddison was a good player for us.

Maddison steady, a bit lightweight but he was better than Widdrington. If we are talking about their time at Saints, Idiakez was a huge let down.

Telfer did a job, never let us down. Tended to play wide right I think. His signing along with Paul Williams was not well received due to the perception that they were Strachan’s golfing mates.

This

Served the Club well. It always amazes me how some (no names mentioned) hold some sort of 'Cult' status, yet truth be known, they weren't that great to be honest...........

Ready and waiting to mop up those European places......

Paul Williams was an excellent signing
Free transfer from Coventry and replaced Dean Richards who'd gone to Spurs for 8 million
