Thought it would be fun to compile a "Worst Leeds 13".

My humble offering....


1. Gary Spencer (yes, worse than Morvin Edwards)
2. Mark Campbell (couldn't tackle my gran)
3. Dave Hesselwood (big, slow and $h1t)
4. Gary Lord (oh my Lord! Why?)
5. Vince Fawcett (couldn't catch VD in a Thai brothel)
6. John Lyons (not Cliff Lyons in any way)
7. Mark Conway (was even worse at full back)
8. Peter Smith (obvious choice here - first name on the sheet)
9. Richard Gunn ("A" team legend, first team bellend)
10. Hugh Waddell (worse than the Jeffasaurus)
11. Gary Moorby (swapped for Tony Burke, by a berk. Always 2 yards short of the try line)
12. Gary Price (there have been hundreds of RL players called Gary Price - he was the worst)
13. Gary Divorty (conpletes the "3 Gary's" in the back row perfectly)

I know you can all do better (or worse?).

no Marvin Golden?

no Ian Kirke?

Spencer was a classic full back, safe under the high ball, good hands, sound defensively.

Sadly he was the slowest rugby league back I've ever seen play,

There's tough competition for the centre spots. I've seen Golden, Hesselwood and Lord. Golden was the equivalent of Steve Rogers compared to those two.

Mark O'Neill?

Willie Oulton has to be a candidate for least secure full back. £750 from Wakey, even at today's prices that would be paying well over the odds.

Is there a stipulation for number of games played?

If not, it's a struggle to pick between Mark Wilkes and Rex Terp for standoff.

He was fantastic for 5 mins on debut! A "miracle" ofload later and he was done.

John Gallagher?

I can't let this thread slide without mention of Richie Eyres.

The chilling thing is, even though he was awful for us he still made the GB squads.

Also worth mentioning:

Ben Walker / Mullins / Eastwood (for different reasons) and David Bloody Barnhill

Jamie Mathiou ,David Barnhill ,Tuipolotu,Chris Feather .

Why?

He made up for his lack of ability with great work rate and effort when he played for Leeds.

You could also argue he was cruelly denied a Wembley place, even though Richie Teeth Blackmore played a belter.

Anyone remember Goldens hat-trick against Cas at HQ?

As I'm only a young 'um compared to most on here am I allowed to just say the team that played in SL1? the 3 seasons before that were good and since have been quite productive. It's just that bloody season that Tars my memory.

What, Super Sub?
