I liked Wyness  

In the beginning, or later on?

Literally, the only reason I can think of is that Utd had one of those clauses in the deal that we'd have to pick up more/all of his wage if he didn't play. Hopefully lesson learned and we're never so stupid to sign up for that sort of deal again. A truly, truly awful goalkeeper. 

That's where I am re him but that means that "the special one" did Levien and us up like a kipper his name should be changed to "the EVIL one".

Remember I was at his debut against Motherwell in the cup. Dodgy kicking and a few fumbles made me fear the worst despite the win

Pretty sure he got man of the match that game too!!!😱😱

Still have nightmares about him. Horrendous

disagree. I was in early that night and he looked horrific in the warm up. At was if the speed of the warm up shots were taking him by surprise. Even text my mates at that stage to highlight my concerns !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Total baffling that he gets any game time other than 5 a sides kids friendly.

 

Huddersfield playing him too.

They haven't played him in the last few, even on the bench. I didn't look further back than December though. It's still an astonishing level for him to be at.

He was always disappointing. Hearts were the biggest club he ever played for (Aberdeen very much included) and he was the classic example of a player who scored for fun at a lower level but couldn’t replicate it in the top league. This remained true after he went back to ICT when they got promotion - he scored 8 goals when we loaned him back to them in 05-06, but after he went back there permanently he could only manage 6 in 44.

 

The worry was that Shankland would be similar, of course, especially given that he only scored 8 in his one previous SPL season. But he is currently proving that wrong.

Wyness was very highly anticipated at the time, it was seen as a real coup to have beaten Aberdeen to his signature. From what I recall, his main problem was a lack of a pace, where he could have perhaps gotten away with that at a lower level, it was hugely limiting for him in the top flight.

[iantjambo]

I’d have Kurskis over him. Utterly horrendous keeper. It defies belief that he makes a living as a goalkeeper.

 Genuinely the worst keeper ever to pull on a Hearts top.

[thehibsareintheirbeds]

See he's played in RKC's recent friendlies, losing both 3 nil- though one was to Roma to be fair. Started their last league game too (6 - 1 defeat).

 

Absolutely astonishing he's still able to be make a career out of football- and at a decent level too.

Most damaging player I have ever witnessed due to lack of ability.

we have all seen bad defenders, midfielders and attackers. But none have had more of a negative impact on them team than him.

think he had a save ratio of less than 50%. You aren’t going to draw fair less win with that

Was it Wyness who was paraded at half time the same time as Paul Hartley. One got a heroes welcome and one got the cold shoulder. Funny how it turned out. 🤣

[Bunny Munro]

He was the reason we got relegated. Him and the two managers who kept picking him.

 I’m genuinely struggling to think of a single meaningful save that he made.

[Hesh]

Can't believe the obsession some folk have about this player so long after the event. Unhealthy.

Like Paterson and Gowser. 

 

At least they're football players though.

I hope that was the nadir for Hearts goalkeepers at least in my lifetime. Absolute imposter, still can't fathom how he got a game.

Any chance of this thread being Terminated  ?

I seem to remember it was mental, he just didn't have the balls for the job

You probably won't believe it but he got a clean sheet in a penalty shoot out v Aberdeen 😱.  We went first and scored them all and the sheep missed them all ( or is it just 2?)

 

Think they missed the target with both of them.

According to stats (posted the link a few pages back) around 45% of shots on target against him went in, but that doesn't account for blocked shots etc. Plus he must have faced a few shots straight at him with no power.

 

Genuinely the worst player I've ever seen, just in terms of how detrimental he was. We could have been a free scoring machine & still would have struggled with him leaking goals..

Was having a thought earlier,

 

who is the more effective keeper, Craig Gordon with a broken leg, or a fully fit Joel Pereira?

 

Without even a hint of sarcasm, I reckon Gordon still edges it.

 

He'd at least be able to stop shots that were straight at him - El Shato wouldn't get near those.

He’s by far the least capable professional ever to have worn a Hearts shirt. Worst in my 52 years on the planet. 
 

It’s not really an obsession. It’s a fact. 

[BigAlim]

He’s the worst player we’ve ever had to

play more than 10 games imo

 

I wish this thread would die so that I wouldn’t have to be reminded of him

I think popadom hands dad is pals with Jose which goes a long way to explaining how he ended up at Man U, clearly Jose couldn’t have him hanging around Man U for too long so he got punted out on loan to whatever mug manager would have him, but let’s be honest if Jose calls you up and says take this keeper the least your expecting is a reasonably competent goalie the reality is he’d struggle to make it as a ball boy!

[Heartsofgold]

Why has this tread been bumped up?!?  I just about had a stroke when I saw his name!!!  WORST keeper I have ever seen at Hearts, and I remember Craig Nelson.

I just looked him up, he joined Man U as a youth in 2012, under Ferguson!
