Surely its criminal that Gus Ceasar isn't on this list. Along with Raphael Meade. Who knew shit could be stacked so high.

Not to mention Lee Chapman. I've seen milk turn quicker, and he was supposed to be a big name signing back in the day.

Gus Caesar definitely worth a place in the starting XI especially after the Littlewoods Cup final in 1988.

Nice to see Flappy in his rightful role though - first name on the sheet for me. Useless *word censored*

Junichi Inamoto! He only played two games for Arsenal. So don't know if he qualifies for the worst ever. He did appear in the Arsenal shopping catalogue that year.

The funniest thing about Inamoto was when we were presented with the premiership trophy in 2002 he went up to lift the trophy having played a grand total of 0 league games

I've heard older Gooners say Jeff Blockley is one of the worst players they've seen in an Arsenal shirt

Have been going since 1993 and one of my earliest memories in McGoldrick getting an absolute slaughtering from the Highbury crowd, saw each one of them play...That last midfield of Grahams was awful.

I did strugle with another defender to be honest, Oleg I suppose wasn't bad but he did have a dreadful couple of seasons with us....I also don't think it's fair to include players I havent seen though have obviously heard nightmare stories about ian ure, jeff blockley, lee chapman, gus ceaser etc

Ahh, Chris Kiwomya. Couldn't score in a brothel and we spent over a mil on him!
