Lloyd Dyer not bad on his day,

Oh and god who remembers Paul Dyson crap CB
Cant wait for the "N" Catagory and the worst CB ever can be named  !

Can't wait for "N" myself, Beef. Can't think who you mean (but it's early for me!)

First name Stacey ?

Just shows how opinions can differ. I quite rated Stacey North among some terrible players of that era. (There again, I was living in Yorkshire at the time, saw all the Northern AWAY games, but only managed a couple of home games a season). Perhaps he was just crap at home!

I knew Dixie Deehan - he used to use the same pub as me. He was great with the Villa, but didn't quite make it with WBA - about the same as record buy Gladys Mills.

You rated Stacy North

Like to hear other peoples Opinion on this but will be debated when the N's are out

It's all about opinions as you say but i be pressed IMO to find one worse.

I have a cracker for E and he was nailed on the worst forward i have ever seen

D
How could we forget Graham Dorrans

I think we have the same player in mind ....."E" makes Stacy North look like one of the all-time greats...

Some great entries last week (for D), and it's good to bring back memories of some long lost heroes.

Donervan Daniels, Ryan Donk (who I thought was going to be a big star at first) and Wayne Dobbins might have won but for DD's  Derveldt  who I'd never heard of, so - in my opinion - he's last week's winner.

This Week E.

My contribution is Peter Eastoe. Can't think of any other decent contenders, and I only watched him once. But I'm sure you can stretch our memories!

[Dingle-Dingle]

Michael Wayne Anthony Ebanks.

7 games 83/84.

DD

[Kennyg]

Two unusual names from me! Lateef Elford-Alliyu and Yassine El Ghanassi!
Then there was our Welsh striker Robert Earnshaw

[Worldclassalbion]

Trevor East ..... of Tizwaz fame!! And Derby County fan. Played in John Osbournes testimonial. We all did 'The Dying Fly' on the pitch

I know it's cheating but it's a boster and NO GOOGLE used.

With apologies to Beefy 1965 who I suspect was going to choose the same player ..

Stewart Evans; The end of an era.

Generations of Albion fans had been inspired by a succession of wonderful goalscorers. Ronnie Allen, Derek Kevan, Astle, Brown and Regis… looking back we had been spoilt over the years.

Then in the mid-80s something changed. I remember watching Stewart Evans in horror and with an impending sense of doom. This was a tall, gangly man made of spare deck chair parts. Think Peter Crouch with a perm. And a lot less footballing ability. After just 90 minutes watching our new striker I realized we were really in the shite, perhaps for many years to come.

In fairness, Goodman, Super-Bob and Hughes came along to ease the pain and Stewart Evens may well have been an effective target man for his previous club (Wimbledon) but I repeat… Ronnie Allen, Derek Kevan, Astle, Brown and Regis, ALL England internationals at some point. Seeing Stewart Evans at that time in an Albion shirt was a shock to the system and a sign of dark days to come.

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest.
