Worst Ever Boro 11 - We have our team!

He's not really a contender but Andre Bikey has to be worth a mention.

The Hamilton Ricard of centre halves. Sometimes looked top class, sometimes looked like a pub player. Usually during the course of the same game.

I quite liked him in a way, but he wasn't good for the blood pressure.

That's the name I was struggling to remember. Turned like an oil tanker.
 
Saxby was signed by Maddren with a known knee injury which he picked up v Palace in 1981 ... he was told by maddren he just wanted a stopper as he was leaking goals and duly signed in 1984 .. his knee was kaput hence his movement was pedestrian ... never played a game for Luton for the previous 2 years before we signed him.... what was Willie thinking . look at 29.26 time for his time at Boro

Maxi Haas
Haas made his debut for Boro against Queens Park Rangers, playing the last eight minutes in a 3–0 home defeat. He made his first full start in a 4–2 victory at Hull City, on 23 April 2011 - bit of a free hit, came in, didn't make an impact didn't cost us a great deal. worth a roll of the dice.. nothing more.

Andre Bikey
On 11 September 2012, Bikey signed for Middlesbrough on a free transfer after impressing manager Tony Mowbray on trial, who wanted cover for injured captain Rhys Williams. He made his debut in a 2–0 home win over Ipswich Town four days later, and was praised by Mowbray after the match. He scored his first goal for "Boro" with a header in a 4–1 defeat away to Blackpool. He made 37 appearances throughout the 2012–13 season, but left the Riverside Stadium after he was released in the summer. - I remember him coming in and being a bit rough around the edges.. very rough. bit of a mad head.. a lot of a mad head. could have been a cult hero

Sean St Ledger
He was a disappointment, came in with big expectations a high price tag and did nothing.

Phil Whelan
1995-1997 £300k wasn't chump change back then.. what did he do? what did he bring to the table? dropped off pretty quick after he left us.. if there was anywhere to drop from.

I liked Bikey..

Controversial perhaps but I'm going with Alan Kernaghan.

Never looked like a footballer to me, very ungainly on the ball, slow and constantly berated and blamed team mates when mistakes were made.

Offloading him to Citeh was a quality bit of business.

Not having that! His equalisers against Man City in the cup and at Fratton Park (when I thought we’d never score, shame about the replay) must rule him out.
 
Obviously an age thing but it is not possible to be worse than Mick Saxby and George Kinnell.

Whelan Hines even St Leger were
much better than them.
Or possibly more accurately nowhere nearr as bad as them.

You can add Mick Baxter to that if there's a tie breaker, or if Wilder gets involved.

He did score a goal against Sunderland which we thought might keep us up at their expense.
So he should be off the list for that reason alone.
(Unfortunately we went down with them).

1982

bit harsh, yeah bit ungainly but his lethargy was due to undiagnosed diabetes. Once diagnosed he was much better, in fact the next season he was superb
