No, definitetly Sleepy Doc Murray.
Oh how I remember those grubber kicks in the in goal area.
He would stand there, light a pipe and mull over what was the best option.
In more recent history.
Moran has to be high up the list along with DV.
Was going to nominate Martin "the tackling machine" Offiah for a giggle (light blue touch paper and retire)

Moran topped our try scoring list 2 seasons ago. Surely not the act of our worst ever signing?

Matthew Johns and Jamie Ainscough what a pair of time wasters they were not mention money.
You lived in fear every time they touched the ball.

My votes go to Green Vigo and Luke Davico
I'm sorry but I can NOT agree with that.
Vigo played in a very poor team, but was still a strong and exciting finisher. People didn't run around the likes of John Atkinson and Geoff Pimblett as easily as he did if they were crap.
Vigo's attitude was poor, but he wasn't alone in that in those days. If he'd ever got fit and played with a decent side, he'd have been a sensation.

But Jimmy Birts and Doc Murray were cheap and not cheerful. Birts was the ultimate non-tackling full back. What a sight he was in action. Made Colin Whitfield look like Lockyer.
For mine, it's DV - pound for pound he's been useless for a longer period than we put up with the others. And now we have another year to enjoy his performances. This time next year I'll be opening the champagne to celebrate his departure.

Ian Sherrat, he played one friendly against Saints at CP on boxing day.
Paul Koloi, Brady Malam, Doc Murray, Ian Sherrat, Mark Reber, Jamie Ainscough, Dave V.
I will have a think on it some more
