Gary hulme was from Limerick i think,

I too found Chambers a great let down and felt he was never committed enough a very lazy player

but worst has to be Furnival an oil tanker could turn quicker

[ManagementGuru]

However, on the few occasions that Great Harwood scored against Alty in the 70's, it was normally Furnival on the scoresheet!  (same applies to Tony Sullivan)

Not necessarily the worst playing striker but his efforts (or lack of) warrant this. Have we already forgotten Peter Thompson

Have we already forgotten Peter Thompson

I was trying.....

[The Fan]

Easy. Darren Royle.

Dis-Honourable mention for Kevin Hawkins - not strictly a striker but whenever a "worst player" threads start, hes always in my head !!!!

i saw that new shrine of him in barneys the other day though

[Jacko]

HA HA, i'm going to ask heathcoat who he thinks tommrow.... honest!!!

[Saughall Robin]

Paul Dobell - and we paid £500 for him I believe - typical ex-vics material (but they could do with him now!)

[Ballers]

Dave Martindale

 

Altho not a striker, I'm going to nominate him in Flynnys absence of his behalf!

How did you sum him up Brian?

Well i think he must take it then!!! i would set up an official poll but works pc wont let me

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

This ridiculous maligning of the peerless Tunna is a disgrace, frankly.

For the record, his Alty statistics read as follows:

33 League & Cup Appearances
5 goals (and every one was a gem).

Worst Alty striker candidates:

Dave Furnivall: about as mobile as a grand piano;

Wayne Entwistle: just woeful;

Paul Williams: indescribably abysmal;

Gary Hulmes: cost £5,000....and was a total flop;

John Donnelley: came from South Liverpool circa 1984....and soon disappeared;

Garry Hooley: never looked happy away from the slag heap at Frickley;

Chris Young: even slower than Phil Taylor when it's his turn to get a round of drinks in;

Adewale Ajetunmeobi: clueless.

He did have something i agree, a presence, but i remember a hugh sigh when he came on once, never heard that before

That wasn't a sigh, it was a huge gasp of awe....
