frankblack Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Lithuania are nowhere near the level of Scotland but you are correct. Where's the Darren Barr nominations? Agree regarding Darren Barr. A player so bad that he can't get a game even as a sub. Petric gets my vote as the worst, though as Buffalo Bill says, he cost a fortune in transfer fee, wages, and eventual contract termination. Petric and Kevin James were demonstrated at their worst in the 6-2 defeat by the vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Now, I remember Stewart McLaren getting MASSIVE stick from our fans in The Shed - no-one else seems to remember this, though? Anyone confirm this? Apparently, Chopper is a jambo now! McLaren was more a central defensive midfielder for us. Did a decent job in the first division for us. Good surname as well...

oldtart Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Gordan Petric has to be up there. Remember him looking as if he was running backwards against Celtic I think. However, his near namesake Martin Petras, who played under Rix,was abysmal and my nomination for worst defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regal Kingston Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Fraser Wishart didn't try and leg for a Hearts side that simply went through the motions and almost ended up in the First Division. I remember a game where he simply refused to run faster than jogging pace - yet to some people he's regarded as a hero of the game. Petric cost us about ?1M in transfer fees and wages. Pound for pound, the worst piece of business in the club's history along with the Bosnian Bullet. Kenny Milne was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good surname as well... Aye, but in his first season McLaren played sweeper behind big Roddie McDonald,* and it wasn't working too well, but very little was at the time. McLaren did better for us later in a defensive midfield position, though, as you say. *We signed McDonald from Celtic when they stole Aberdeen's Willie Garner from under our noses - we got the better end of the deal there!

I'm willing to wager most of them are border-line simpletons with IQ's barely reaching their shoe-size. Worst defender in my lifetime? Leclerq...Petric for purely monetary reasons, he wasn't that bad a defender, we just spent an obscene amount of money on an average defender, that was the main problem.

If I remember this right, he was on ?80 a week basic, and asked for a ?15 raise - we offered him an extra fiver! He want to an Irish club shortly afterwards - I think he was a Musselburgh lad, maybe.

jambonian Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Folk are actually suggesting Zaliukas, and being serious about it? Some people on this thread need taken away and executed in front of their familes. And some folk need to wake up and smell the coffee. Zaliukas has cost us more times in the last few seasons than any other player. I've recently watched the season dvd's from 2 and 3 years ago, lost count how many times his lack of positioning or half heartless passes go to opposition players and cost us, loads of games where you hear things like "and, mistake by Zaliukas!" or "very slack defending by Zaliukas" and such like. I'll always support any player during a match wearing a Hearts jersey but, if folk are honest... there's almost a sharp intake of breath around the ground when the ball goes near him, and a huge sigh out if he does what he has to do correctly. Sorry, i see it all around me at games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 First thought was Kucharski....or Kucarthorse as I liked to call him.
