It’s not where we’ve come from it’s just where we’ve been!
I agree, he genuinely looked worse than the plumbers and posties we were playing in the third division. I'd gladly never hear his name again.He could quite possibly be our worst player ever.
I actually worked with a Greek boy at the time who'd come through OFI Crete and couldn't believe such a talent had joined us in the lower leagues!I do remember thinking "he's come from AEK Athens academy. He must be half decent" before seeing him.
I’ve never understood this joyful and nostalgic look back at “the recovery” and thinking each player was a sacred part of something specialNot quite sure why the names of these players keep getting dragged up. He wasn't very good but the flip side is whether or you like it or jot, he was partof the recovery. We like to portray ourselves so well but can't help slating players who came to play. Done something none of us have.
You're right.Subbed at Elgin in the first half, might be wrong. Honkin he was.
Remember being at the cup game during the "journey" where we beat Motherwell at Ibrox and the mad dog fuelled ned in front of me shouting "%^*& sake Aguero" the whole game! My lasting memory of the lad!
Ague-no try
They were grim times mate.
May well be, what a horrific reminderHe could quite possibly be our worst player ever.
If you are getting subbed for Ross Perry then you can't be good at football.You're right.
Perry came on for him.
No harm to the guy, but I couldn't fathom the need to go to Greece to sign a guy who was was genuinely atrocious. Clearly a signing where we were offered him by an agent, we watched a 5 min YouTube video. We looked at his CV and saw AEK and concluded that he can't be that bad.
I was more disappointed with Emilson Cribari a centre back who was bossing it at Lazio a few years before we got him so much so that Walter enquired about him before he left and he couldn't header a ball away at tannadice in the first minute and looked like he could hardly moveHe could quite possibly be our worst player ever.
Cribari was a strange one. I couldn't believe how poor he was considering where he came from and his pedigree. A player who, on paper, you would be excited about signing now. As i said above, doing proper research on a player is important, but you would have thought this guy was a no brainer.I was more disappointed with Emilson Cribari a centre back who was bossing it at Lazio a few years before we got him so much so that Walter enquired about him before he left and he couldn't header a ball away at tannadice in the first minute and looked like he could hardly move
he was signed because he was on Craig Mathers books I’m sure. Same with seb faureNo harm to the guy, but I couldn't fathom the need to go to Greece to sign a guy who was was genuinely atrocious.

After watching him thought that at the time as wellHe could quite possibly be our worst player ever.
He was utter pish but we've had worse before and after, and spent more too.
He would definitely be in our worst ever team.Who was worse after out of interest?
I genuinely think he’s the worst player I’ve ever seen in our jersey.
MccCoists judgement of players was terrible wasnt it.
He could quite possibly be our worst player ever.
worst (adj.)
Old English wyrresta, from Proto-Germanic *wers-ista- (source also of Old Saxon wirsista, Old Norse verstr, Old Frisian wersta, Old High German wirsisto), superlative of PIE *wers- (1) "to confuse, mix up" (see war (n.)). Phrase in the worst way (1839) is from American English sense of "most severely." The adverb is Old English wyrst; the noun, "that which is most evil or bad," is from late 14c.
ever (adv.)
Old English æfre "ever, at any time, always;" of uncertain origin, no cognates in any other Germanic language; perhaps a contraction of a in feore, literally "ever in life" (the expression a to fore is common in Old English writings). First element is almost certainly related to Old English a "always, ever," from Proto-Germanic *aiwi-, extended form of PIE root *aiw- "vital force, life; long life, eternity." Liberman suggests second element is comparative adjectival suffix -re.
Sometimes contracted to e'er in dialect and poetry. Ever began to be used in late Old English as a way to generalize or intensify when, what, where, etc. The sense evolution was from "at any time at all, in any way" to "at any particular time; at some time or another; under any circumstances." Ever so "to whatever extent" is recorded by 1680s. Expression did you ever? (implying "see/do/hear of such a thing") attested by 1840.
