Cult hero - or favourite rubbish player?
In light of the imminent moaning ban I thought I'd canvass opinion for your favourite player who was, frankly, a bit poo.
Do you secretly think Gus Caesar could have been a contender?
Do you hark for Hillier? Mourn for Morrow? Perhaps Perry gets your vote or you pine for Luzhny's running up and down in a straight line.
Don't be shy, chuck your suggestions in for the worst, but likeable, Arsenal 11!
I'll kick off with John Jensen as my nomination.

Eddie McGoldrick. Not sure why I liked him but at the time he was, in my mind, a good signing.

Perry Groves for me. Never understood why the crowd got on his back but it wasn't as bad as the abuse Jon Sammels got and he was a really good footballer. Perry was only average but he was a trier.

Raphael Meade, was a local lad, showed some promise too.

And you lot slate my love of the Great Abou - a far superior player to any of the goons listed so far !
Ian Allinson was always a favourite of mine - wouldn't say he was rubbish but certainly not 'super quality'.

It still doesn't make Diaby good enough to be an Arsenal first eleven player though.
Igor Stepanovs, Pascal Cygan. I can't have either of them.

an ordinary journeyman of a player, with naff hair, squeaky voice, terrible skin, trasher of spuds fans in pizza huts, mocker of Eileen Drewery ("i'll have a short back and sides please love...
), taxi puncher, and luggage thief, who was revitalised under Wenger, who won us the cup, scored a hattrick in Europe and played for England....
