Blackbriar 8,568 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Preparations are almost finalised................ the squad has been selected, the round of friendly matches is almost complete and the fans are packing their suitcases, ready to fly off to Rio. Memories flood back of those who have worn the Three Lions with pride and distinction - Banks, Butcher, Shilton, Moore, Lineker, Charlton, Pearce, Hurst , Gascoigne, maybe Beckham, the list goes on. But who do you think is the one player least deserving of being chosen to wear the hallowed shirt ? If you really want to scrape the bottom of the barrel, can you pick England's worst team ever ? - the 11 individuals who should just hang their heads in shame..................... Over - rated, under - talented, flash in the pan, out of their depth or just 'over - hyped'............................. ? Name and shame 'em ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brigzy 1,298 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Andy Carrol got a couple of games for England simply because two "managers" paid insane fees for him; (Daglish £35 million and Allardice £17 million). He wasn't fit enough or good enough at the time and got his game because of all the attention his transfer fees got. He may come good, but he will never be a regular England striker. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,455 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Andy Carroll is a gift for England, the typical "go to" player when we run out of ideas after 50 minutes and start hoofing it !! Lol In all fairness, Carroll will never get to develope as a forward playing under managers like Allerdyce in a west ham team that plays "football" the way we do........if I was serious about my football, I would be off to some Serie B team in Italy to try and develope as a striker Edited June 2, 2014 by WILF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,455 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 While we are at it, what about players who you consider should have been regulars but were overlooked in favour of the same old faces? One that springs to mind for me would be Kevin Phillips, one of the most natural centre forwards I have seen IMHO 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One that springs to mind for me would be Kevin Phillips, one of the most natural centre forwards I have seen IMHO Andy caroll, hes young ad full of injuries He shouldve stayed at Newcastle Kevin Phillips, ian Wright scot Parker, all shouldve had more caps.

keepdiggin 9,297 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 calton palmer was decent compared to the likes of chris powell, brian deane and andy sinton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,743 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) John Fashanu for me.................i couldnt believe it when he pulled an England shirt on ................James Beattie was another one....... Matt Jarvis as well.....had a good season in a Wolves relegation side ............so Sam Allardyce go,s and pays 10 mill for him Phil Neville is another that springs to mind i,ll never forgive that f****n clown for Euro 2000 !!

I like Carrol id like to of seen him included in the England squad he gives a great alternative if/when the chips are down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Carlton Palmer.... Took the words out my mouth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,568 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Keith Curle.......? David Batty......? Steve Hodge.......? , the list goes on (and on and on) but,for me, all others pale into insignificance compared to Carlton Palmer - truly fecking useless ! Turned as quickly as a super - tanker, a blind man could have read the game better, and the shooting ability of an Italian infantryman ! Most overlokked player ? Ian Wright without a doubt ! What about worst manager ? HAS to be Steve McLaren, no ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
