Dokko Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Butt's presence on the pitch harmed us more than any other player I can recall. Hard to pick between him and Smith, but Butt was awful. Dem chipped through-balls. Smith by a country mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Smith was worse purely for the reason that Tooj outlined a few posts back. They were both garbage but Butt never hid or shirked, Smith often did and created that ludicrous 'warrior' persona that had him diving into tackles like a loon, normally as a result of a poor pass or tackle from him. Plus, Butt had a pretty good 12-month spell for us during 2006/07. He was probably the highlight of the Roeder era, along with Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Smith's second touch was normally a sliding tackle after a shit first touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I wouldn't argue with anyone who would say one was worse than the other, but what exactly are we comparing here? Two utterly God-awful footballers who aptly represented the worst spell in my time supporting the club. I don't think I've ever been more relieved to see two players removed from the first-team. An absolute burden every single time they were on the pitch (bar Butt's decentish spell in 06/07). The squads post-Bobby, up to relegation, were just a total car-crash year-in, year-out. Ironically enough, on paper, the team that went down was probably the best of the bunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith's probably the worst footballer I've ever seen who's spent years at NUFC. And, if you want to extend Butty's lead a bit, he scored a few canny goals. A pearler against Everton at home (3-2) and a couple of decent strikes at White Hart Lane anarl. Butt even wins in the non-competitive stakes; Smiffy's header against Sampdoria (from a Geremi corner ) is overwritten by Nicky's pair of headers against Villareal when he was getting booed with most of his touches.

newsted Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Here's one: Most NUFC appearances without a competitive goal, outfield players only? I dunno who it is btw. Frank Clark has to be pretty high up there. Whey, higher than Smith and Williamson at least. Bobby Cowell 327 I reckon. Frank got one in the League Cup. I'll get me anorak.

Ah, bugger, so he did (19 League Cup appearances, 1 goal). Fair play. Still take out the fecking League Cup, and no goals in 437 League, FA Cup, and Euro games is still pretty impressive.
