gateman49 wrote: 09 Feb 2019, 19:19 I may have missed other posts on a not celebrated ex player and I apologise if I'm repeating things. I'm not even sure if I should post something to give him the oxygen of a bit of publicity but who should I spot in the advertising break in the painful test cricket?

Yes, it's Rhodri Giggs announcing who he is to all and sundry and advertising for Paddy Power.

I suppose that we should forgive and forget and perhaps he is a reformed character.
Didn’t he nick club shirts and sell them on if I remember?

Dale Tonge - one of the (many) candidates for worst-ever TUFC player.

Very good player for Rotherham but never for us
Seemed lazy and uninterested, just picking up a
(very big) wage each week. Wouldn't say he was our worst ever right back though, I would give that award to Dudley Lewis - now how fans remember him ?

My memory is that he was a kid (17, 18, maybe?) who was kicked out because he was nicking stuff from other players in the dressing room.

It's entirely possible that I'm misremembering, though.

I just thought it was because he was a complete tool.

Dudley Lewis rings a distant bell. When did he play for TUFC?

On checking it was 1993 and he only played 9 games for us but he certainly made an impact on the memories of a few popsiders. Towards the end of his career and he must have been decent once as he played 250 games for Swansea and a cap for Wales but he was absolutely shocking for us - and I'm talking worse than Dale Tonge

Ben Gerring: what an absolute thunderc*nt: video of him in the stands today as he serves his ban actually starting a 'We Hate Torquay' chant. It's one thing to give some shit back under severe provocation from the Popside (as I understand it), but you have to be a grade A **** to do this.

Jake Robinson found himself on the losing side today when his team went down two nil at home to some team called Torquay. Never heard of them, but they sound great....
