Ian-in-Oz Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Although there has been many a great to grace the famous 'Well jersey there has been a few who should never have been allowed to. Who do you think are Motherwell's worst ever signings? For me it's Dave Shanks closely follwed by Joe McBride, Paul Kinnaird & Bob the bigot.

Definitely and easily the worst but can I say that when I added to the Yassin debate months ago that this guy was a worse right back I got pelters so stand by for more Broad shoulders and that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Messers Murphy, Molloy and Keegan a bit harsh on danny murphy. not the best player but he played a blinder against ivan sproule at hibs and i'm sure got motm when he scored the cheeky wee free kick at dundee united. he's someone who never recovered from having a dodgy first few games at fir park even although he played well away from home. molloy and keegan were apocolyptically bad.

Neil Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Mario Doerner, I think, to my memory, the only man to blaze a shot so far over from inside the penalty box, I'm pretty sure he hit the big M in Motorola on the top of the Cooper.

airfinz Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 That Andy Smith guy from Preston on loan during Butcher's time. He truly was a crime to football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Andy Roddie, over 50 games, ziltch goals and no many assists either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malky79 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Bit harsh on Keegan, by no means good enough but a few years younger and he might have been ok. At 35 or whatever he didn't have the legs but you could see what he was trying to do, and not a total travesty just not very good. Malcolm, Moatouakil more recently have just been pure murder. From younger days Gordan Mair rings a bell as someone who was as good as a man down, Mark Caughey and Paul Baker in the utterly useless frontmen category stand out a mile. Ally Graham was also murder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 That Andy Smith guy from Preston on loan during Butcher's time. He truly was a crime to football. Good shout - he was absolutely murder. Another one I hated was Khelad Kemas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larky Mafia Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 for all you older posters - what about Alex Spark, midfielder from late 70's - early 80's. Was slower than Any Ritchie with both legs tied together and was the combined weight of Andy Gorman & Joe Smith. In the team photo he took up all the right hand side of the pic. He even had the mullet with porno mustache. Bad, bad, bad........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullane Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 This topic comes up roughly every 6 months on here - and apart from some obscure names that only ever played a couple of times, Andy Roddie and John Davies usually come out on top.

MearnsWell Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Anyone remember Joe McLeod from the late eighties/early 90s? Made Andy Roddie look like Ronaldinho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Bob Malcolm and Big Crawford Baptie. Crawford won people over with a hatrick in his home debut then proved that folk at half his height could outjump him I think it was 2 goals in the first ten minutes in a game against Dundee which we went on to draw 2-2. He used to come in to a shop I worked in on sundays with various bumps and black eyes from the game the day before as he worked his way down the leagues. Anyway, I think I'll add in Jamie Doyle for old times' sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Anyone remember Joe McLeod from the late eighties/early 90s? Made Andy Roddie look like Ronaldinho... Aye, but Joe McLeod scored in the 91 Cup run. Which kind of explains why he doesn't feature on this list very often when it comes up...

rgf17 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I might have missed it but noone mentioned Gordon 'night' Mair? And in a team that had Kinnaird, Shanks and Cammy Duncan in it, he was a belter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
