Keeper Peter Frankish

Outfield  Dave Furnival............outpaced, turned quicker, and outscored by my old Gran.

I've always found Dootson to be an average keeper, certainly not a disaster, but his reaction to the fans behind the Chequers goal against Bamber Bridge back in the day still make me riled, but perhaps I don't forget and should move on.

Didn't we have a terrible keeper called Dick Johnson soon after John Connaughton?
From the sublime to the ridiculous!!!

Dick 'teflon' Johnson!

I don't think I've ever agreed with any post more on here in the last 5 years. (but would add Waring outfield too!)  ;)

Poorer than Dootson: Frankish, John Woods, Colin D'Arcy, Nicky Banner

Graham Jones - centre half signed from Runcorn in 86. Thought he was Mark Lawrenson. He wasn't
Robert Trees - clueless
Darren Royle - the word "lumbering" was made for him
Brian Kilcline - to be fair, he was well past his sell by date when we signed him but he was so bad he retired for good after a few games
Paul Round - 81-82 player who came to the club with a good reputation. Left it in the dressing room.
Andy Dibble - some horrific performances
Eddie Murray - late 80s, most unintelligent looking player I ever saw at Alty - and yes I did see Danny McGoona play
John Wood - Terrible goalkeeper from 75/76

Dick "Teflon" Johnson was pretty bad, but nowhere near as appalling as John Wood, or Peter Frankish.

Obvious names missing from that squad for me are Jason van Blerk and Adam Farley.

Gary Hulme has to be in there - and I agree with Paul Round the man who could only pass the ball the way he was facing

According to the programme notes on his debut, Gary Hulmes had commanded "a five figure fee" in the transfer market before we'd signed him. After about twenty minutes, the late Steve Brundrett shouted at the hapless sod "Five figure fee ? How much, one and ten pence halfpenny ? "
