Sorry to contradict you Al but I hope you have a very small audience listening in Glen - as I hope most people who are interested are at the game.

However anyone who isn't is certainly going to be well entertained. I saw Michele di Piedi play if that helps. I can't remember what he did, other than be subbed for Lewis Guy, but his name is in the programme. He is currently play for Nay Pyi Taw FC you know (it says on that there wiki).

Di Piedi, Guy Ipoua, Nick Fenton, Michael Timlin and Tomi Ameobi would be candidates for anti-legends.

I always think that Nick Fenton gets a lot of unfair stick. He wasn't brilliant but he wasn't terrible, should no way be in that bracket of players!

I'm going to chuck in Nic Priet to add to your list.

In fact I take that back, Herita Ilunga has the left back spot nailed down. Half the team would be made up of his team mates from that season.

oh come on. Fenton was bloody terrible. It was a great source of frustration for me that he kept getting picked in front of brighty. I've never seen anyone back off so far from a man without making a tackle. He'd nearly be on his own goal line!
However, I do consider him to be a true rovers legend. He tried to run off a broken leg for goodness sake! Ha ha......

Reece brown, Dennis Souza, robbie Blake, Shelton Martis or Alex Peterson are the worst I've seen over last few years

Mamadou Bagayoko

The one who signed at the same time, Bamogo, was just as big a waste of space. Though I thought Goulon took the biscuit as the worst of the Experiment signings.

The worst probably never got a game, Damien Plesis, and Lamine Diatta

You've taken all the low hanging fruit there TRB.

I will raise you though Adam Hughes and Gary Woods.

He was shit Gaz, come on. What made it worse was that he was lame and shit, and SOD had him on an eight year contract. Bet we are still paying him.

Steve Brooker. Scored a great goal but had a body like a biscuit. Seemed to be on the books for 16 years. "He'll be good when he's fit". Was never fit.

Martis was terrible every time he had the ball he was a mistake waiting to happen, did he carry on playing after he left us not heard anything about him

Unfortunately I think an 'anti legend' and one of the worst players to line up with copps is actually playing today.. Martin Woods

I'll buy Adam Hughes, a real nothing player. Although Woods was no Sulli or Warrington he doesn't deserve to be in that company.

Uros Predic? He was in Copps era wasn't he? Terrible memory, so I can't properly remember.

Predic was one of the conveyor of questionable players recruited by Penney to keep us going following the Division Four title win.

Copps clearly the pick of the bunch.

Can I raise for consideration in this context Phil McGuire and his colourful private life?

If you are not having Woods then you must accept Tonny Neilsen.

Tonny Neilsen falls into the same category as Plessis and Diatta in that he never actually made a first team appearance. He held the record for being the most named substitute who had never got on the field until Jon Maxted beat it by a country mile.
