Crap players who have had a stormer

[Ste]

Mido and Kenwyne Jones come to mind for having hit a bit of form for about a month of their whole careers

 

Mido was a good player, tbh.

 

He was decent, but he had zero application or drive. That was his problem.

 

Ok, thanks.

 

You're welcome. Carry on.

Alex Mathie V Spurs.

 

I stayed to the bitter end and he scored 2 scorchers in the last few minutes.

[Shak]

Paul McShane's debut for Ireland he looked fucking immense.

 

Was against the Czech Republic, anyone who came near him with the ball got dispossessed immediately. He looked composed as fuck on the ball too, spraying passes out from the back.

 

How in the fuck?

[Mike]

That was his debut wasn't it?

 

Jonas looked awesome in his debut. God.

[Fenham Mag]

That was his debut wasn't it?

 

Jonas looked awesome in his debut. God.

 

Jeremy Lin for half a season.

Carlos Boozer had one, apparently.

[thomas]

Babayaro had exactly one after joining us. Shame what it took to get it out of him :\

[Guest bimpy474]

Nicky Papavasiliou v Man Utd, deserves to be in this just for the fantastic touch for Andy Cole to score.

[triggs]

Amir Zaki had a class 6 months for Wigan about 5 years ago

[Cajun]

That potato boy who played for Sunderland.

 

Ridiculous rise and fall

[S.S.R.]

Michael Ricketts was a strange one.

"When you look at this lad and his build, he is the same height, weight, everything about him, he is like Alan Shearer," insisted Whelan.

 

"He has the same confidence when he gets the ball, he knows where the goal is, he doesn't need to look up, he has this instinct.

 

"Strikers like that have an instinct as to where the goal is. You can't describe it, you can't give it to anybody.

 

"Certain people have it and Alan Shearer was one who had it in abundance, and this lad is exactly the same.

 

"He has this ability to score goals. Sometimes there is no danger, but then, wham, and the ball is in the back of the net."

[Paully]

Bruno Cheyrou got 2 against us in the cup (remembered as reading Ferguson's book and his name pops up!)!

[Begbie]

Thimothee Atouba for Spurs vs us...

[Raconteur]

In 2001, the record for most goals scored in a competitive international match was set. The victims were the powerhouse that is American Samoa - and the fact that they've never cracked the FIFA top 100 ranked nations shouldn't obscure the fact that the record holder is an impossibly crap player who had the definition of a stormer: a record that most likely will stand the test of time.

 

The record is 13 goals in the one match. The scorer was the stupidly shite Archie Thompson. The fact that he has a single cap shames my country. The fact that he has such a record shames America Samoa. But this amazing event proves that even the most talentless hack can have a stormer.

Reading up on the match, I don't think it shames American Samoa at all:

 

"The American Samoa team were troubled by passport issues, with only one member of their original 20-man senior team, goalkeeper Nicky Salapu, eligible to play. American Samoa were also unable to call their under-20 players because most of them were involved in high school exams at the time. They were forced to draft in their youth players, including three 15-year-old players, to put together a makeshift team with an average age of 18.[5] According to team manager and Football Federation American Samoa vice-president Tony Langkilde, most of the Samoan players had never played a full 90-minute game before the match with Australia.[6]"

 

"The Samoan team was not feeling downhearted after the game, and even embraced and sang to the audience as the game finished. Salapu declared that he enjoyed the game. "I wasn't embarrassed because we all learned something from it. If we had all our players maybe it would have been only five or six goals, because I was without my best defenders and there was nothing I could do."[5] Tony Langkilde also defended the goalkeeper, saying that he "kept the score down with a magnificent display". He also added that "now we are recognised by FIFA, it has really helped spark an interest in football on the islands".[6] Samoan manager Tunoa Lui commented that football was being played in the Samoan elementary and high schools and "in five years we will be competitive."[5]"

See my sig

 

This is a thread where the likes to Kieth Gillespie are described a crap - and Archie Thompson is really crap. Forgive me tendancy to add a little mayo when telling a story (ref my handle )

[Dinho lad]

Thimothee Atouba for Spurs vs us...

 

he didn't have a stormer, he simply scored a very good goal.

[Ste]

I'm not watching the game, but boy am I surprised that Shola Ameobi vs Chelsea November 2013 hasn't been mentioned.

[Skeletor]

Obertan had a stormer in making it as a footballer.

[TRon]

Tiote, Sissoko, MYM and Debuchy today 

 

None of them are crap like, but they are according to some fans

 

 

[Cajun]

Wullie called it impressively early but Jenas.

 

Really thought he would be top class at one point but he hasn't had the career many expected. Spurs started loaning him out around 28 years old? Even then he was struggling for games, only turned 30 this year and in the championship.

 

Bentley is another in that category. A hugely impressive season at Blackburn leading to a £15m move but at (just turned) 29 he is a free agent with no club apparently interested.

[Ronaldo]

Wullie just hated the lad, to be fair. Was never a big fan and hated how his hype massively exceeded his talent but from around 2004-2011 he'd have walked into any of our midfields.

[Conjo]

That Tottenham guy that came through their youth team. Scored a hat trick on his debut? Think he was loaned or sold to Wolves afterwards? Not O´Hara.

Dean Marney?

 

If not then he's a good shout anyway. Only two goals he's ever scored in the PL both in that one game.

 

He was immediately thrown in at the deep end, as a last minute choice to face an Everton team on 1 January [2005], in which he scored the first and last goals of the match in a 5–2 victory, the second being a superb 25-yard curler into the top right corner.
