I can't believe Danny Addy is appearing on peoples lists.

Good player with lots of talent, unfortunately for him, he was asked to learn and play an alien position due to the clubs poor recruiting. Doesn't deserve to be mentioned with the names like Sheriffe and Karl Pryce

It’s not a list of worst players. It’s a list of most disliked. Or at least that was my list. I think it’s gone a bit away from that. Danny Addy gave 100% for the cause and gave up a large proportion of his career filling in at halfback to cover for mistakes made by the club in recruitment. He could’ve said “I’m a backrow forward and that’s it” but he didn’t. As a result he played out of position and struggled at times. Fans got on his back because they expected more. He could frustrate you by being superb one minute and awful the next. Plenty of worse players have played for Bradford.

I'd actually have Harris on my list.

Always thought he was a massive disappointment since we brought him back from Union.

Had a big belly and lacked his pace he had at Leeds. Built more as a typical Loose forward than a half back.

Agree with that about Solomona. He was a cracking player, who could create something from nothing, and put his body on the line to squeeze in for some really good, and tough, tries. In the right team he could be the icing on the cake of a super team. We were far from super, though and he was a square peg in a round hole at Odsal. We needed a solid grafter who could slog it out and do the hard yards in the middle of the field and instead we got a prima donna. Difficult to blame the player though, he never changed his style, far more blame is attached to the person who signed him, IMHO.

Agree about Patrick Ah Van. Scored a cracking try in Cardiff as I recall but then just appeared lazy, and a poor attempted replacement for Lesley Vainokolo. Having said that he seemed to do ok for Widnes after he left the Bulls, and even Lesley himself had been shocking in defence during his first season.
As for Solomona, I think he was my most frustrating player to watch in nearly 50 years. Bags and bags of talent, but so much lost ball, which in my book is unforgiveable and will ultimately always cost you the game. In the right team, i.e. with players queueing up on his shoulder to receive his off-loads, he might have been a world beater but that was never going to happen playing for Bradford. All he did was cough the ball up to the opposition time after time.

Didn't he play something like 1 and a half games for us? If so, that's probably the reason you don't remember him doing anything.

Definitely agree with this one, also the subsequent mess it left after

Abi Ekoku is also a good shout from someone earlier a massive athletic chap that looked awesome but was in reality was garbage,
His modern day equivalent been Macani, runs side ways, shirks taking the ball up and is worst than useless in defence,
Whilst we continue to play him on the wing we will continue to concede unnecessary tries down his side.

Always though Abi was, sort of OK, but without ever being particularly good as a player, though nowhere near to being on a list of 'worst' players imo.

His best work at Odsal was definitely done as Chief Exec after he hung up his boots.

Not sure if this is slightly controversial, and I'd be interested to hear others opinions, but Elliott Kear used to INFURIATE me! Steady away when we deployed him at full back, but on the wing I felt like he didn't step up defensively and his "go-to" move of coming inside, crabbing along the defensive line looking for gaps almost never bore any fruit. This may be a case of one man having an irrational position on a certain player, but like I say, he used to drive me nuts!

Kear did run sideways, but had a few line breaks from memory.

One of my favorite players in that team. How peoples opinions vary

I always loved Paul Deacon me.

Chris McKenna and Chris Feather frustrated me a bit.
