We have a winner!
Without a doubt the worst player to wear a Cas shirt was JOHN NOAKES.
Fact.

Dishonourable 2nd.
Dwain Chambers

I liked him - far better than just about all the others mentioned on this thread.

Brendan Hlad

Just wait until Calamity Mathers makes his debut.

Nowhere near the worst player to wear the shirt, never did much but never did anything wrong either and never really had the time to settle in-only played about 3 games iirc.

No where near the worst! Only had a few games off the bench and did quite well for us, never got the chance. Where is he now? Last i heard was he signed for Gateshead but i dont think he ever played for them.
For me since watching Cas since 2002 the one who stands out is Kyle Warren. I remember a big rep for him as a tackling machine. All he did was knock on.

Junior Paramore

Sean McVean.

Thought I'd compile a team of "Worst player................"
Hear goes.

Full Back:
Steve 'headless chicken" Larder

Three Quarters:

David Nelson
Paul Franze
Paul Newlove
David Chapman

Half backs - after being lucky to see the "H" bombs in their pomp, how I enjoyed (sic) these two displaying their talents (?????)
and was'nt we lucky to have them at Cas.

Peter Coyne:CARN'T SPAKE
Sean Rudder: - who couldn't forget the cut out passes- pity it went to the guy on row 22 in the Princess Street stand

Front Row: Aggression , fear and trepidation when they took the field (and that's only from the home supporters)
Craig "chuckles" Greenhill
Ronnie Sigsworth - sorry Ronnie but couldn't think of any other duff hooker
Sean "5 minutes on the field" Mc Veigh

Back three forwards - in the classic Brett Atkins, Bill Bryant and Mal Reisley mold, what a joy they were:

Tom Haberecht - the worst by a country mile to wear etc etc
Nigel Wilson - built like a brick out house and like the effluent deposited there of
Andrew Schick - yes, he will go down in history for 'that' try but he was absolutely garbage

Subs:
Brendan Hlad - who, what where
Ryan Clayton - jack of all trades and master of none
Jason Liddel - another second ( or third or fourth) grade Aussie as good as the Supermarket
Barry Charlesworth - bough from Fev as a winger we turned him into a prop (LOL)

On Brendan hlad, he actually plays rugby for a team called Cessnock! Who they are I don't know.
He was one of those players like Dean Ripley, they looked like we picked them out of the crowd before kick off haha! We have had some rubbish over years.

Forgotten all about 'Killer'...now he was useless. Only player I've ever seen that turned around 90 degrees to make an offload when he wasn't actually been tackled.

Remember a loan signing from Hull KR called Rainey(?) who gave the appearance of never playing above Pennine league Div 6 before turning out for Cas as well.

Byron Smith
Andy Bailey (didnt really do much)

Adrian Rainey. I dont think he was too bad. I seem to remember him having a good 1 on 1 battle against Brian Mcdermott in a game against Bradford at Valley Parade in 2002.
