Folling on from the best one who would be in your worst XI?

Attwell,Andrews.Simb,Sow,Brabin would be off the top of my head.

A few players that spring to mind include Olafur Gottskalsson, Habib Sissoko, Les Afful and Martin McNeil

OK I'll give it a whirl:

GK: Paul Jarvie

RB: Lee Andrews CB: Stevland Angus CB: James Sharp LB: Mo Camara


RM: Mamadou Sow CM: Gary Brabin CM: Jimmy Benefield LM: Carl Priso


F: Marcus Richardson F: O'Neill Donaldson

SUBS: Bertrand Bossu, Jules Mendy, Habib Sissoko, Les Afful, Leo Fortune-West, Liam Coleman, Richard Hancox

MANAGER: Lubos Kubik

GK: Mark Coombe

RB: Daryl Pugh
LB: Scott Stamps
CB: Al-James Hannigan
CB: Tom Warrilow

RM: Les Afful
CM: Steve Crabbe
CM: Ian Bastow

ST: Dean Mooney
ST: Jamie Ndah

Subs: Jamie Attwell, O'Neill Donaldson, Micky Perry, Carl Priso, Jimmy Benefield, Matt Villis, Jamie Gosling

I defy Sir Alex Ferguson to win a Sunday League game with that bunch!

Andy, you'll be popular around Torquay now, NOT, fancy listing one of the Bastow clan

I says it as I sees it - he's still playing isn't he?

Right, worst ever team. Been tough, quite a few contenders for a starting position

ST: Alan Connell
ST: Chris Mcphee

That's my worst ever team!

Didn't think Alan Connell was a bad player at all. Also, thought that with the right development Liam Coleman could of been a real good player.

Sow was poor, but he did seem to possess some skill.

I think the team that played at Barnsley in our league 1 season must be a good shout for most hopeless team performance ever.

A few randoms
Paul jarvie gk
Nick mckoy cm
Les afful rw
Jamal Easter cf
Richard hancox - especially at rochdale

A few comments on other names
Alan connell - really worst ever? Thought the guy was decent, scored double figures in a poor side in an injury hit season.
Mamadou sow - never got fit or adapted to league 2 but does anybody remember us beat shrewsbury 2-1 at plainmoor for or first win of 05/06? The guy was awesome for 45 mins before being subbed at half time.
Lee Andrews - controversial here. With the ball at his feet granted he made branno look like pele but actually in a very poor side I thought he was a solid defensive right back and was especially good at covering agaisnt breaks when we were on the attack. Would take him over Anthony Lloyd every time.
Carl priso - how would anybody know? He could have been romario with a gammy toe

Stephen Orchard, John Gayle, Carl Motteram, Anthony Pulis, flipping 'ell there's loadz.

No need for that sort of language.

Would agree on Alan Connell, thought he was decent enough and certainly didn't do anything to warrant being in a worst XI.I personally never rated Andrews, and still class him as the one of the most gormless looking footballers I've ever come across!

On the Sow/Priso front - I was at Mansfield away at the very beginning of the 05/06 season, when we'd just come down from League 1, and we were on the receiving end of a 3-0 drubbing. One of the most depressing games I've ever been too! These two were playing, and they put in two of the most inept performances by anyone I've ever seen pull on a Torquay shirt (granted everyone was rubbish that day, but these two were a class above in that department).

I was also at that Mansfield game. Arrived 5 mins late to what I thought was the away end but it had been switched from our previous visit. Ended up in a stand 'full' of Mansfield fans and he'd to be escorted across the ground by stewards to a load of abuse. Official away attendances was announced as 199 but I was 200!

It was tipping it down and I don't think sow liked the rain or cold!

Jody Banim was a decent footballer with one problem, about 13 stones of a problem. Take away the chunk and he'd have been brilliant at Conference level.

As for Lubos, LEAVE MY LUBOS ALONE!

Matt.
