Gimme an H... Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Audrius Ksanavicius, has to be the worst player to play for Hearts. Apart from the fact he didn't give a to-ss about the club, he was a passenger in every match he played. Never in a million years was he the worst. The wee man had the ability and the footballing brain IMO just never had the legs and came after a full season with FBK so ran out of steam towards the end. All in all thought he was one of our better Kaunas boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickups Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Stefan Paille? Wouldn't say Paille rubbish, did he not have a drug problem? Remember he scored a peach against Dundee at Easter Road in the Semi Final of the Coca Cola cup. He won 1987/88 French player of the year, played for France 8 times in the same side as Platini.

Gambo Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 It's opinions like the above Gambo, which dictate that you will always be considered part of Kickback's loony fringe. Total and utter tripe and I think deep down you realise that yourself... How many other Hearts players have made a crucial tackle and scored a vital penalty in a winning cup final team? How many Hearts players have scored a winning goal in a difficult European away tie? How many Hearts players have captained the team to European qualification? .. I, like a lot of other Hearts fans thought he was a garbage football player. Imagine a defender making a goal saving tackle or even scoring a goal. As you say, Audrey had one good game in how many appearances, Robbie maybe had two semi decent games in 6years! There are probably a lot worse players who have worn the maroon but none of them got 6yrs to parade that lack of ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct (how many of them when they left the club tried to knock our doors down to get him, even Levein came back for Maybury who he was playing on the left?), but i think the OP was asking the members of JKB for their opinion and not previous managers.

Francis Albert Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 So you were spared the late 60's. Arthur Thompson or Neil Murray (maybe he lasted into the 70's) trump any names mentioned so far. I would go with Arthur Thomson. Overweight, red faced, hopelessly slow - appearance-wise think late period Stevie Fulton but with a total absence of any footballing ability - and perpetrator of more mistimed tackles than any defender I have seen. Eric Carruthers wasn't up to much either - rarely scored, without the excuse of playing on his own up front. I think we even brought him back for a second, even less productive spell after he flopped at Derby, who amazingly signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ignoring those who only wore it a few times, i would go for Robbie Neilson. Why? Why would you ignore those who only wore the jersey a few times? With the odd exception (eg. Andy Thorn), those who only wore the jersey a few times did so because they were pish! Say, just for a laugh, Hearts were to sign me. I wouldn't cost anything, would be hauled off after less than ten minutes after embarrassing myself, and would without doubt be Hearts' worst ever player - because I'd be mindbendingly awful. That I hadn't cost anything or hadn't played at the club for getting on for a decade wouldn't have anything to do with it. Which is why the answer has to be Mo Berthe. He was so bad, he was our answer to Ali Dia. The question isn't "who was the worst value for money?" (Petric, or in a different way, Besilija). It isn't "which player divided opinion despite doing a basically solid job for many years at the club?" either. It's "who was the worst Hearts player, period?" And that was Berthe. Has to be.

shaun.lawson Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Fitzroy Simpson. What on earth were you thinking JJ! He was thinking: "None of the players I've targeted will join us. We've publicised that we have money to spend, so they're all taking the pish with wage demands we can't afford. Craig Burley, Stan Collymore, Robert Taylor, Spencer Prior, Moussa Saib... I'd like to sign them, but we're only Hearts, so I can't. Meanwhile, we're dropping down the league, the season's going to pot, and the fans are getting on my back, saying I've bottled it because I've got big money to spend for the first time. "So what do I do? Let us fall further down the table? Or make a few short-term signings aimed at bolstering the midfield and defence, making us much harder to beat, and grabbing the European spot we desperately need? I've been told I'll have another ?1.5m to spend next year, and another ?1m-?1.5m the year after - so I can concentrate on cheaper, younger prospects then". Little was he to know that he'd been lied to, the goalposts would be moved and him hung out to dry the moment the season had ended - and after, incidentally, the signings delivered what he bought them for: 3rd place.

grumpy rebus Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I never had the privilege of seeing Mo Berthe so will have to go for the following: Brian Wilson Stuart Gauld Brian McNeill Crawford Boyd Nerijus Barasa Tommy Harrison Bobby Masterton Archie White Kevin Twaddle Pat McShane Gary Liddell I'm going to have to go for a lie down in a dark room now. ....... and Barasa would have been the best player by a mile in that team. You could also add in Colin More, Scott Maxwell, Dennis McQuade, John Craig, Gerry McCoy, Jim Denny, Paul Rodger, Gregor Stevens, Stewart "chopper" McLaren, Willie McVie, and the Teirney's (two of them, I think) from the same era. Hardly suprising we kept getting relegated. Aahhh, the good old days!!:21: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Carruthers wasn't up to much either - rarely scored, without the excuse of playing on his own up front. I think we even brought him back for a second, even less productive spell after he flopped at Derby, who amazingly signed him. the rumour at the time was that Dave Mackay who was derby county manager signed him as a favour to Hearts who were skint at the time, remember Derby were English champions that year, think Man Utd signing Jamie Mole and you get the idea. Carruthers was a big mate of Graeme Souness at the time and in one of his books Souness tells how his mate walked around thinking he had made it cause he came on as a sub for Derby on a game that was featured on Match of the Day, unfortunatley he never played for them again, Derby paid approx ?25000 for Eric, but i think he ended up playing in the German 2nd Division. im sure he is now an importer of champagne, a couple of years ago he was in the papers when his son was the french mascot in the WCQ at Hampden (1-0).....

Hawick Jambo Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I seem to recall when I first ent to games as a youngster in the mid 70's a chap called Hammil who was poor. Like others though I'd either go for Petric or Jenkinson. I remember Petric repeatedly arguing with the crowd at Tynecastel and Jenkinson ! When you compare him to a real winger like JC. Personally I always disliked Nicky Walker with no real rational reason, we have had worst keepers. I just hated him in goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
