I loved both Manel and Junior. Just for the sheer fact 1 was spanish and the other was Brazilian with blonde hair.. don't think we'll see that again for a while lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 That Beck was the worst player I’ve ever seen play for Derby. Derek Hales was also a complete plonker. therealhantsram, Smalley Ram and cstand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raich Carter Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Beck was the most disappointing signing of TBE era. I was gutted when we signed him on transfer deadline day. Gutted. To top it off, he was an arrogant deva off the pitch too. Who was that other arrogant oaf who was at Arsenal then Florist saying he was better than Ibra... Bendtner! Reminds me of him. Hugill must have something to have got West Ham to pay £10m and Norwich £5m surely...? Carl Sagan and gfs1ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Hales was also a complete plonker. It was always like playing with 10 men. I used to get that "why has he picked Bennett for the play-off final?" style feeling in my stomach every time he 'played'. Just checked out his wiki page - allegedly only played 18 times for us yet it left a huge black hole of disappointment and resentment that's never fully healed. Wiki page is worth a read - it cheered me up. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise you mean Beck, but Hales' Wikipedia page led me to this inspiring Player Profile: Charlie Connelly on Twitter: "Derek Hales with possibly the most miserable player profile in football history, in a #cafc programme from 1979. Still my all-time favourite player, mind. https://t.co/4kd8UgYWNC" / Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worse thing was that the club was admitting they couldn’t get anything better than him and he cost money - you knew we were going to struggle massively to score goals Edited January 18, 2023 by Sparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feilhaber struggled to have an impact here, but far from the worse player even I've seen play for Derby. You could see he had ability, but just lacked presence on the pitch at a bad time in our history. Doyle is one that comes to mind immediately, who was very poor, he struggled to cut a career in the MLS. Feilhaber nearly played 50 times for the US national team and had a significant career in the MLS - at one point even came close to winning the league's POTY award. Claude Davis, all things considered, will probably go down as the worse player in our history (for me, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always felt sorry for Edworthy who was excellent till the January in 2007 then never got a game. Mears could play but lost interest. Rest were crap compounded by the millions spaffed by Jewell on more crap short term loans like Robert and Mills and contracts for Savage and Stubbs who were running on empty. the flogging of Oakley and Howard to fund it was a ridiculous decision. They were crap for Leicester clearly. Carl Sagan and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchday Fred Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 No thanks Hugill. Another lump with one gear, no better than Collins, with a huge hill (or Hugill) to climb just to recover some semblance of fitness. 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
