Really don't understand how it's possible to include a striker with a better than 1 in 3 PL goal scoring ratio in this list...
The worst has to be Rasiak. A truly shambolic signing.
Ginger Pele is a legend. And Stalteri wasnt that bad. He scored a wonder goal against Leicester in the cup.
Gonna go for Raziak. Was going for Blondel/Thelwell,. but they werent that bad.
Most unfortunate may have been Rocha. Talented, but timing was slightly off

Stalteri was quite good. There seemed to be a lot of people pissed off when he replaced Kelly at the time, but Stalteri was better. The only downside for me is when he got done at Highbury when we drew 1-1 and messing up in injury time against Sunderland. I think we would have had champions league football back then perhaps. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, we just weren't ready.
I think for me Ruel Fox and Jermaine Jenas are my two disliked players. Ruel Fox cost a pretty penny back in the day and he never had the confidence to beat his man like he did in the Norwich/Newcastle days. It was as if he lost all pace (that's all he really had)
As for Jenas it's all the inconsistency down the years. 1 good game then 8 bad games it seems. People just remember the good then sort of brush off his shite games by mentioning a good one. "He scores against Arsenal though" is one that always creeps up. It's just amazed me that he made it into Jol's starting eleven, Ramos' starting eleven and even crept into 'Arry's. There is a decent player in there, but it will never be found

Rasiak for sure. Talk about "out of your depth". I think he actually mis timed every single header he went for. I remember pointing this out to my dad at the beginning of a game and told him to watch. For the rest of the game we were in stitches as he jumped and landed before the ball was anywhere near him, classic stuff haha

Pascal Chimbonda
I cannot believe that we signed this shower of shit TWICE! Average going forward but absolutely fucking horrendous defensively, never tracked back, never recovered back to his position when he inevitably lost the ball going forward. Absolutely fucking abysmal.
It beggars believe that he was loved so much by people, it really does.
It used to drive me insane reading Spurs Chat after a match and seeing Dawson being slated because he was "making mistakes" or "caught out of position", when the reason that it happened the majority of the time was that he'd been left 2/3 on 1 on the right of our defence while Chimbonda the cockhead was casually strolling back across the halfway line after having given the ball away and set them off on a counter yet again.
It got beyond ridiculous, with Stalteri outside him Dawson was apparently superb, with Chimbonda outside him he was apparently crap, with Charlie outside him, he was again superb, and only a handful of people ever made the fucking connection such was the immense love which people had for the lazy ****, (Chimbonda).
The icing on the cake was the fact that the vast majority of people thought that he was better at full-back than our Korean on the other side, a guy who worked his fucking socks off running the line, most of the time by himself, getting forward, getting back, and regularly shutting out players like Robben and Ronaldo week after fucking week.
Absolutely fucking mental.
So yeah, worst Spurs player ever, for me, is Pascal Chimbonda.

I think Zokora has to be the most disappointingly useless player we've had recently simply because of his high price tag and the hope that he'd actually improve our midfield after Carrick left.
Having said that he's far from the worst player we've had. I think Tramezzani's few performances get him in contention. Postiga was pretty hopeless, as was Rasiak.
But I think the brief loan spell of Andy Booth made me consider supporting another club. Good lord he was bad.

Seeing as 'Spider' gets a Hall Pass for being too old, I'd have to go for Ginger Pele. Used to scare the shit out of me if the ball went anywhere near him around our penalty area.
As for Chris Armstrong, he was quality alongside Sheringham then had his form drop off when he played virtually a full season with a groin injury. The Boo boys never knew that and, let's face it, wouldn't have cared if they did. He was their scapegoat for poor performances at the time.

Yep Armstrong was that period's Darren Bent. Not brilliant but pretty effective when he was fit. Both were certainly considerably better than Pav is at the moment.

Our worst performances ever had Gardner, Doherty and Jonnie "Mad Cow" Jackson at their root. Hard to pick who was the worst though.
Crouch would be near the top of the list though. He's certainly the worst "striker" or at least the one that's been given the most time for the lowest return

He'd be nowhere near the top of the list. He was a vital part of the team that got into the Champions League and then got us to the quarter finals of that Champions League.
I know Crouch isn't everyone's cup of tea but to suggest he's one of our worst strikers ever is ridiculous.
