[NaeMairNeeps]

In response tae Sheepcrooky's 'Ex-Dons thread, (which Ah wil noo say, interests me .. and Ah look forward tae seein mair posts in), Ah thought Ah would get this one goin.
Why? ... cos the majority o' posters on here are soor faced phukhers and are so negative aboot a'thin, if they ever found themsels wi a gless mair than half full, they would find a bigger gless in which tae decant the contents in order tae hae it mair than half empty :D .... t

Thought it might be a laugh tae look at some o the schyte we've had the pleasure o' in the past ... if only tae get some perspective on far we are noo ... rether than the past heights we gloried in :)

... so let's go wi the flow ya moanin c'unts ...

Ah'll get the ba' rollin, sit back an' see .... efter Ah mention .... (goin back a bit ... feel free tae update)

I have to say, Willie Garner wisnae dross! Well not until we sold him to the Dhims and he scored two ogs on his debut!!
And by the way, a really good bloke - now in banking with some part-time fitba coaching on the side...

Rules min, rules.

[NaeMairNeeps]

Tak yer point aboot Garner Hulldon .... Ah've nae doubt he wis a nice guy ... but as Rose Tattoo say ... "Nice Boys ... dont play Rock and Roll" .... and also, Ah did hold oot some hopes for him tae develop intae somethin decent.

Bobby Street though? Harsh .... the guy wis a prospect .... returned efter a broken leg ... and then ... :( Ah wis there tae see him on eez back efter a f**ker o a tackle ... hands on eez heid ... leg broken again .... guy didna actually get a chance tae be bad enough tae warrant improvement ;)

.... but while Ah'm here ....
...Mark Kerr ..

[ragnarok]

Kerr wasn't that bad under Tango but it was a terrible mistake to make him captain. He had some decent spells of form in the team.

You could dedicate an entire thread to horrendous AFC left backs alone - Winnie, McQuilken and De Grassi were all unmitigated failures.

Ah yes the man we were told could out cross Beckham!

From memory he turn like a tanker, popped his knee and that was the end of that!

Calvin Zola hasn't had a club in over 2yrs.

[Pacman1903]

Monokana plays for Sutton Utd.

[Pacman1903]

Gregg Wylde has been released by every club hes played for Huns, Bolton, Us, St Mirren, Plymouth, Milwall. Nae bad for a 25 year old. Hes obviously got attitude issues.

[blowupsheep]

Well and truly amazed that it has taken this thread 24 posts before Ryan jack gets a mention B)

[Stoney_Scarfer]

Fit aboot thon boy that Craig Broon brocht in? Daniel Uchechi who was going to explode on the fitba scene!

Or there wis that Loon Miles Anderson, signed, never played and strangely went to Blackburn I think. Talk of his Dad being an agent or scout iirc.

[awafaehame]

Don't think Paul Bernard should be mentioned on this thread, but Calum Morris anyone????? Didnt even get to play a minute in a Dons shirt before being released!

[cougared]

Recent ones - Josh Parker and Mclaughlin

[Pacman1903]

I left him for someone else but nobody has so ill take it on as usual Neil f@cking McFarlane.

[WatsonNimrod]

Gregg Watson sticks in my mind for some reason.

There was a lot of 'perceived' dross after the glory years, Iain Angus, Steve Cowan, Willie Falconer, Tommy McQueen, Sir Robert Connor all got dogs abuse. Interesting to see how they would stand up in todays modern era. Quite well I suspect

Funny you mention Bobby Connor as on Off the Ball on Sat there was a "dud who wasnt actually a dud" bit and Bobby was one of the first mentioned

[Aldo1983]

Jim McInally anyone? ;)

[WatsonNimrod]

Perhaps he has a mention but no dross thread is complete without John Inglis

[hewittextratime]

Laurent D'Jaffo, Toni Kombuare, Mike Newell and Brian O'Neill. Got a feeling that they might have all played in the same team together at some point :O

Gads min!!!

Eugene Dadi? Are you just plucking random names from the past? He was decent. Certainly never dross.

Just a wee fact, Mike Newell was the first English player to score a hat-trick in a champions league match!

[blowupsheep]

The list is indeed endless. In all honesty, the array of footballing imposter's to ply their trade at Pittodrie is so vast that it becomes painful to talk about.

Who remember's Dan Smith

Three out of the four! Kombuare, Newell and O'Neil played in August 1997 against Kilmarnock in a 0-0 and I remember being well impressed by Kombuare for the first and only time. Another name for the list in that game too, Tzanko Tzvetanov. And, on Bulgarians, surprised Kiriakov hasn't had a mention.

The three mentioned also played together in the League Cup at Dumbarton the following week and Newell scored a hat trick.

There you go. I was at that Dumbarton game too.

Also the quickest Champions League hatrick at the time 9 minutes, a record that stood for 16 years

Me too. Got taunted by own inflatable sheep from the home end.

Gary Smith. Probably would be a decent player now but standards were so much better then.

Nae having it. He wasnt dross

[StandfreeFM]

Nae having it. He wasnt dross

My turn to agree with you. I thought he was a pretty decent player for us.

[RealPompeyDon]

Colin Woodthorpe, Gary Hackett and Keith Edwards.

[Pacman1903]

Colin Woodthorpe, .

Mind his goal at Rugby Park. Boom

[DodHagi]

Gary Smith. Probably would be a decent player now but standards were so much better then.

Nonsense, he was a decent player. Left us to play in the French topflight with Rennes.
Get the feeling folk are just remembering random names fae the past and plonking them on here whether they were good or bad.
Rickie Gillies and Ray Mckinnon are 2 plaars who spring to mind as being dross, particularly when so much was expected of them.
The Ghost (Gary Mcdonald) has already been mentioned I think, but deserves another mention. Hiding on the pitch, the cardinal sin for a fitba player.

[DodHagi]

Storeman on the Gannet now Makes sense, distribution was one of the strengths in his game.

[Aldo1983]

Gary Smith was a liability. I thought he would have come back a better player from France but didn't. Probably walk into our team now and be our best defender but back then he was he weakest link.

[StandfreeFM]

https://spfl.co.uk/premiership/fixture/2100738/

Just saw the sides, that's an appalling lineup. Nae wonder Thistle won, they had a much better team on paper.

[WatsonNimrod]

Colin Woodthorpe, Gary Hackett and Keith Edwards.

Colin Woodthorpe wasn't a bad player, he took some horrendous challenges as players saw him as a target for some reason and was branded injury prone for his trouble. Spoke to him a few years back at a function and all he has to say about his time here was positive.

Keith Edwards was finished by the time he got to us, he scored an absolute shed load of goals in the English lower leagues but his legs had gone a few seasons earlier at Leeds (according to my Leeds supporting mate at the time). Think he is still amongst the top scorers down south at diddy level. It was also the start of signing English players who were past their best which we hadn't been used to. Think he scored in one of the few matches he played in, but was a big disappointment as it was seen at the time as a big signing (even tho we got him for feck all)

I defy anyone to defend Keith Hackett tho

[Mason89]

I'm currently working in Colin Woodthorpes hometown of Ellesmere Port. Possibly the worst sh1te hole I've ever been in. If I see him, I'll pass on everyone's regards

He played in that early to mid 90's era where it seemed to be fashionable to single a player out not just to intimidate them but to really hurt them, it was generally the skillful ones who took the real brunt. We had many who fell victim to thugs mascarading as footballers and thankfully despite cheating on a wider scale of late, players and managers dont seem to have that same twisted mentality as back then.

Goram fkd him in front of the Beach End midweek night match if i recall correctly.His best days were at Sheff Utd mind.

[rico94]

Gary Smith was a liability. I thought he would have come back a better player from France but didn't. Probably walk into our team now and be our best defender but back then he was he weakest link.

He was good in his first spell when he played alongside Irvine or McLeish but he was pysh in his 2nd spell when he was one of the more experienced players in the team.

Tiernan. Martins laddie Jamie. Who was the duff midfielder now playing at Formartine. And Soutar.

My old work had an office there. The Ports got nothing on Widnes which is close. Get in a taxi and go for a pint.

Someone left the gate open at the local mutant farm there

I was staying in Widnes last week, in a hotel right under that bridge. Absolutely minging but like be Beverley Hills compared to Ellesmere Port. Mind you, that was the only bit of Widnes i saw. Maybe that was the good bit.
