amp Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 ...until the end of the season. Their manager said that they were looking for a "no nonsense defender". Good luck to him. Quote
Azteca1903 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Hope he does well, I'd never doubt his commitment to us during his time here. Can't pass for shit mind. Quote
RDU_64 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Gets the esteemed accolade of being the worst professional footballer I have ever had the misfortune to witness. Although Bristol Rovers think Ifil signing is a 'great piece of business' and it is 'excellent news'. Quote

There have been worse Dons players in the last 10 years never mind worst of any team. Quote

Mainly down to living in Orkney and being too young to travel on my own, I didn't make it to many games during the years of Skovdahl or Paterson or if I did, I can't really remember much about them. When I came down to Uni and got a season ticket, Calderwood was in charge. I know there were probably worse players by a mile that have played for AFC, but I never witnessed them with my own eyes. Anyway, good luck to Ifil. Had nothing against him personally, just a very very bad footballer. Quote

manc_don Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Even I can say he was not the worst player to have donned the jersey. Good luck to him, hope he's a success there. Quote
Tyrant Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Good luck to him. Worst player in the last decade? Utter nonsense. Not even the worst player in the last year. Quote
El Padre™ Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Still, he's got to be in our top ten worst players of the decade. How he commanded a regular place in the team I have no idea. I was one of the idiots singing "sign him up" at Hull as well. Quote

I was one of the idiots singing "sign him up" at Hull as well. Likewise but to be fair he was fucking immense that day. Quote
El Padre™ Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Exactly, he looked a great player. Big, strong and very composed in the tackle. I think he got a real defender to pretend to be him that day. Quote

I was one of the idiots singing "sign him up" at Hull as well. This is probably what makes him stick out more. At least monstrosities such as Dave Bus had their Dons career nipped in the bud, but Ifil was a regular until Broon came in. My overriding memory of him is when he tried to pick out Vernon at St Mirren Park with a sweeping cross field pass, but instead found the back of the stand immediately to his right from a completely unchallenged position. Mesmeric. Quote
mizer Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Not the worst, but the biggest bombscare ever. Quote
Jute Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Ifil wins worst for me as he was highly paid and a regular most of the other pish only appeared for a few minutes at best then disappeared again. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Ifil wins worst for me as he was highly paid and a regular most of the other pish only appeared for a few minutes at best then disappeared again. Brian O'Neil. Quote
Jute Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Brian O'Neil. Had completely forgotten about him. He was poor but still better than Ifil although I suppose we did pay for O'Neil which would count against him. However O'Neil was capable of playing the odd bit of football were as Ifil was just pish. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 John Inglis? He was gash in a gash side! Quote
El Padre™ Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 David Winnie. Easily the worst footballer I've ever seen at Pittodrie. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 David Winnie. Easily the worst footballer I've ever seen at Pittodrie. Winnie and Prunty for me. Ian Robertson was fucking woeful too. To think he can claim to have played in the same defence as Leighton/Snelders, McLeish, Miller and McKimmie... Quote
manc_don Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Winnie and Prunty for me. Ian Robertson was fucking woeful too. To think he can claim to have played in the same defence as Leighton/Snelders, McLeish, Miller and McKimmie... Prunty for me too. Though dyron daal was pretty woeful. How someone so tall lost so many headers I will never know. Quote
Nellie The Don Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Nigel Pepper. Game over, thread locked. Quote
tlg1903 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Being tall doesn't mean you can time a jump or head a ball. Daal was not a bad player in terms of having an eye for goal. He suffered from being given a target man role cos of his height. Pepper, bus, solberg were so much more shit Quote
Kowalski Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Think I'd rather have Pepper than Ifil. Quote
Andrew Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 I always liked Solberg. Good penalty taker and strong defender. My memory of these games isn't that great. Quote
El Padre™ Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 I always liked Solberg. Good penalty taker and strong defender. My memory of these games isn't that great. Clearly not. Solberg was a disastrous defender. Quote
