Biggest Waste Of Space Ever To Play For Your Club (rock, fan)

I'll open this up for any sport not just football.

My choice would be celebrity fat c*nt Neil Ruddock

Here's why from a 2002 article in the independent.

Quote:

The wages dispute between Neil Ruddock and Swindon Town took a new twist yesterday after the former Liverpool defender succeeded in freezing the club's share of an FA Cup gate.

Ruddock, who claims he is owed £86,000 by the Second Division club, obtained a High Court order to block their £140,000 share of last Sunday's second round-tie at Oxford United. Swindon insist they have no money to pay Ruddock, and the two parties will meet at an industrial tribunal today.

Since signing for Swindon as player-coach in August 2001, the veteran centre-half has played 17 games, his last appearance being last December. His contract, which still has another 18 months to run, is believed to be worth £5,000 per-week, and accounts for 25 per-cent of Swindon's total wage bill.

The club's majority shareholder had agreed to fund a pay-off for Ruddock, who turned down the amount on offer. The 18-month remainder of his contract, plus the amount he claims he is owed, would total around £426,000.

A knee injury has prevented Ruddock from playing and affected his struggle for fitness. Last season, Swindon had to commission their Far Eastern kit manufacturer to make specially large shorts for Ruddock, who tried on 86 pairs at the club and was unable to find a pair that fit him.

Swindon's chief executive Mark Devlin said: "We cannot pay him because the money does not exist within the club. We have said all along that any settlement with Neil Ruddock was going to have to be met by a third party and that has always been the case."

Ruddock's solicitor Stephen Welfare claimed money owed to the player could be paid out of what had been frozen. Welfare said: "The club has always said that the basic wages of its players are budgeted for. They also said before the FA cup match that this was an unbudgeted for windfall, which says it all really."

The club went into administration shortly afterwards.

Ruddock has always been a twat.

hers is a few for Villa:

Sasa Curcic. Looked brilliant at Bolton. Paid 4 mill for him and he was crap.
Savo Milosevic. The moment you spit on a fan you are knackered.
Eric Djemba- Djemba. He didn't cut the mustard at Man U fair enough but looking bad in a Villa shirt? now that takes some doing!

Savo Milosevic was a great player.

I would watch with amazement as he would skip past about 4 or 5 players on a 50 yard run only to sky it about 20 feet over the crossbar

David Graham. Scored a goal from point-blank range in a 4-1 win over Coventry City, otherwise useless.

Julius Agahowa. The less said about him the better. Not exactly one of Paul Jewell's better buys.

Denny Landzaat. Scored an amazing goal against Arsenal, but otherwise when he wasn't missing penalties he was putting in some pretty rubbish performances.

Only because he refused to sign my football

I think this pretty much sums it up. I sat and watched this guy give up like 5 game changing plays two years ago that cost the Pack the game. Then last year he led the NFL in pass interference penalties. Seriously, when did speed become the only prerequisite of NFL football? what a waste of a draft pick.

Couldnt decide on just one. If it wasnt 'play' for your club it would have been Wade Phillips, the Head Coach.

Rob Johnson

picked this image for ya crash ^

Scott 'Wide Right' Norwood...thanks for the SuperBowl loss, ****.
We could have had at least ONE NFL Championship under our belt.

My club is Omonia Nicosia...english football fans might remember us, when we played against Man City in Uefa cup last summer...
anw in 2006 we signed brazilian Ze Elias, and we should have guessed that there was something wrong with a player who played 22 time for the brazilian national team, wanting to come to cyprus at the age of 29...and there was...in half a season he had 8 apps and managed to get sent-off 3 times...

Didn't know he did this. I remembered him being great in the UEFA Cup for us.

I know a lot of Villa fans who would say Yorke after leaving for United too. Alpay is another one, I used to see him in Sutton Coldfield prior to that penalty incident. Then there were effigies of him in Birmingham. Help give Alpay the boot | The Sun |News

Forgot Enckelmen too
