I was thinking about allowing Wright but we’d lose all of the enjoyable debate for the LB slot!Alan Wright is lucky he only played on game

I think CB. Now a Head Teacher so has done alright for himself post football career!Where did Phil Whelan play? Remember he was left footed - well, his left was the foot he preferred to use in a catastrophic manner - but can't recall if we played him CB or LB. Utter shight regardless, if not LB then I'll wait for the CB voting...
I'll third that.Joe Bolton without question.
I concur with that. If AW is not allowedJoe Bolton, awful left back
He was about the size of a subbuteo player and was immediately singled out for the back post header on his debut. If the rest of his game had been any good, he’d not be on this list but he was just horrific at everything.Alan Wright is lucky he only played on game!
He was a right back, you can’t judge him when played on the wrong side of the pitch, judge the manager that picked him there. Now Derek Whyte was pretty awful at LB in the prem, ok at champ level thoughHas to be Chris Morris at LB for me. Shocking
He played a lot of games at left back though. I used to sit in the North East corner on row 6. He was right in front of me. I couldn't believe how bad he wasHe was a right back, you can’t judge him when played on the wrong side of the pitch, judge the manager that picked him there.

Yep, pretty much the full season 95/96.He played a lot of games at left back though. I used to sit in the North East corner on row 6. He was right in front of me. I couldn't believe how bad he was
I'm sure Whelan was a centre back. Can't remember him ever playing left back but could be wrong.He was about the size of a subbuteo player and was immediately singled out for the back post header on his debut.

Branco, great player that had been semi-retired for 18 months when we signed him, at least 1 1/2 stone overweight and didn’t really put the training miles in to resolve that.
But neither of them for me…it’s Phil Whelan, supposed to be a left back but he was 6 foot 4, so speedy wingers turned him in knots or breezed past him. With the ball he had no discernible passing or dribbling ability. He was just a lamp post. Should have played basketball as you don’t need to kick a ball but just be tall.
Again I don't think Whyte played left back in the prem for us. Left sided centre back in a back 3 I think (Wilder would've loved him). Was decent in the first season up.He was a right back, you can’t judge him when played on the wrong side of the pitch, judge the manager that picked him there.

Wherever we put him, he gets about 5,000 votes from me. Even now I still get quite angry when I think about how bad he was. Got a vague recollection that he displaced someone half decent in the team, which made it even worse.I'm sure Whelan was a centre back. Can't remember him ever playing left back but could be wrong.
He is nailed on like. Probably only need to vote on one centre back.Wherever we put him, he gets about 5,000 votes from me. Even now I still get quite angry when I think about how bad he was. Got a vague recollection that he displaced someone half decent in the team, which made it even worse.
