The dud Killie strikers topic

Recommended Posts

A long list of guys so far that played a handful of games and then moved on.

What about those that were consistently mince over a prolonged period?

Perhaps this will prove controversial but there was no bigger disappointment for me than McCoist. Over-hyped and overweight for most of his time at RP - until, that is, he landed the part in the Robert Duvall film and then he shifted twa stane in about a month. Also, totally couldn’t bring himself to score against the Huns.

Apart from him, big Nishy was a shockingly limited footballer who wouldn’t have got a game for my U16 side.

We got a good half season out of McCoist, he even earned a Scotland recall, then he got injured and came back fatter and slower.

 

Colin Nish hit 40 goals for us, not exactly dud territory. An immensely frustrating player I grant you, he could score a sublime raker but then miss an open goal from 2 feet...

Michael Jeffrey. English player who had played in Holland had us all hopeful but apart from the header againt the huns and I seem to remember one at easter road..

Looked as much a footballer as George Weahs cousin.

I've said it before and I'll say it again- John McEachran.

Was the worst I ever saw as well. He wasn't even at junior level. Those were very bleak years when our top scorer usually got about 5 or 6 goals. 

In terms of disappointment vs. expectations Alan McInally. Thought he was going to be something special but his legs had gone.

Cooky was ok, he was young at the time, playing in a bad team and didn’t get the coaching the players get now.

Remember when he came back to play against us with ?Stranraer and he was flattened by a full on head butt right in front of us on the east terracing by our defender (cant remember his name but was a total thug and never played for us again).

Cooky just lay on the ground on his belly with his head in is hands looking into the crowd with a wry smile and shaking his head.

Always gave everything but after a bright start faded quickly.

Definitely far from the worst.

Kenny Brannigan.

Michel N'Gonge

Really? I quite liked N'Gonge, he had a lot about him. The only dud moment I remember with N'Gonge was that time he was clean through against Rangers and fell flat on his face.

There were a lot of Merdy, Boutal, Koudou type signings that arrived during the period where JJ was signing guys on 6 month deals who never really contributed - in fact, I can barely remember them. As far as strikers who were just flat out hopeless Mark Stewart is as bad as I can think of. Seems to have done well at Championship clubs but when we had his he was just absolutely terrible.
