When we were crap - players you feared.
As per title. I am sure we must have had a few players that other clubs feared when we were in the lower echelons - Payton, Francis etc but who were the players that always seemed to have absolute worldies against us?
Jack Lester was always one for me that as soon as you heard his name you thought "Oh crap!"

Re: When we were crap - players you feared.
Peterborough seemed to be a bogey team for a while in the late 80s/early 90s and they had a full back (Blake?) who seemed to terrorise us. My memory may be playing tricks though...

Re: When we were crap - players you feared.
There was a right winger played for Birmingham against us on the turf...
... Absolutely rinsed our defence...tore us a complete new one... Maybe 15 years ago.. Not totally sure.... I'd remember his name if somebody said it

Andy Hesenthaler at Gillingham looked like he used to enjoy playing against us. A class player I thought at the level.

Re: When we were crap - players you feared.
It was about 15 years ago that Nicklaus Bendtner played for Birmingham out wide on the Turf and had a great game...not sure if that’s who were you were thinking ?
They also had the likes of Damien Johnson, Stern John, Clinton Morrison all playing up front around the same era.

Are you thinking of Noel Luke? Player called Blake equalised for Cardiff City when we beat them 3-1 at home at the end of the promotion season, 91-92.Jakubs Tash wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 1:45 pmPeterborough seemed to be a bogey team for a while in the late 80s/early 90s and they had a full back (Blake?) who seemed to terrorise us.

Roger Hansbury, but only when he played for us. I was terrified that we were going to ship 6 or 7 each week.

Re: When we were crap - players you feared.
Some players in this thread by the way, some of them I think were probably playing below their actual ability - David Lee for example, and Jamie Cureton
Ronnie Jepson had a good record against us before he signed. Carlo Corrazin had a good reputation at that level, as did Paul Peschisolido as they were both capped at international level for Canada

I can't recall the player's name but Jakubs Tash is definitely right about Peterborough being a bogey team. We beat them 4-1 in April 1991 and it was the first time we'd ever beaten them. We lost in the League Cup in 1966 but then went 11 league games without a win against them from 1985 up to that game in 1991.Silkyskills1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 3:18 pmAre you thinking of Noel Luke?

Yes, Blake was a decent player - played for Cardiff, Bolton and Rovers amongst others.

Re: When we were crap - players you feared.
Remember when ‘moneybags’ Fulham spent £2m on Louis Saha... Fulham had some decent players around that time - Geoff Horsefield being one of them too.
I can’t remember the name of the other striker who played with Saha up front - a black guy who’s name escapes me right now - I think he played in the Premier League too for a short while
Edit - it’s come to me Barry Hales

Brian Mooney for Preston always worried me. Looked stylish on the ball, especially on that pitch. Needn't have worried on that great night in 88 though!

Did Brian Mooney end up playing for us? Or have I dreamt that up?
