The very worst: You can really tell that it is the off season for soccer, a few weeks ago it was the fifty best players, and now the Times takes a look at the fifty worst footballers to play in England. Can you guess who this refers to?
Told Kenny Dalglish he intended to bite off his ear and spit in the whole. And they said there were no characters left in the game.
Wow, I knew who that quote was from even before reading the article. Overall, pretty amusing.

I think it was this pile of steamin horse manure of a list you might be thinking of, Fence. I saw the fifty best this week and was about to link it before getting distracted by... Something or other, I have to go now.

19 Marco Boogers With that name, he was a shoo-in for this list.

Entertaining list, Fence. Thanks for posting. For those wanting to know a little more about the story of the man at the top of the list. In the process of looking for that, and since we're doing lists, I found the Observer's list of the 30 Most Outrageous Moments in Sport (from 2004 and in three parts: 1,2,3)

Ah yes, thanks JJ that was it. I remember when I first heard about Ali Dia, hilarious. Unless you are Graeme Souness :)

"Told Kenny Dalglish he intended to bite off his ear and spit in the whole. And they said there were no characters left in the game." Kevin Keegan?... And apparently my desire to sell Lundekvam in Football Manager is not misplaced.

Micky Droy regularly turns up on Chelsea fans' lists of all time favourites. Like John Frum, some players have obviously developed their own cults. Scary.

I thought that 50 best had been linked to, but couldn't find it by searching. Am I mad, or did the search function let me down?
