Premier League Hall of Infamy

[Oranges038]

Who gets in?

Players who wouldn't be considered among the greats, but are still memorable for one reason or another.

So far I have.

Richard Dunne - Scoring own goals
Ben Thatcher - Attempted decapitation
Ali Dia - George Weah's cousin
Wiston Bogarde - Honouring his contract
Duncan Ferguson - Home Security
Rory Delap - Ridiculous throws

 

[Karel Podolsky]

Eboue

 

[RedRocket9908]

Mario Ballotelli

 

[Jeppers7]

Carragher. OG

 

[Zlatan 7]

Barthez and his crazy antics. The offside claim

di Canio, another crazy although could be a great actually played for west ham and catching the ball mid play for Opposition injury

the ref who took a tumble

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Anelka- Answer to quiz questions

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Lee Cattermole
Joey Barton

 

[dazjoe]

Pierre Van Hoojdonk - going on strike.
Marco Boogers - Almost killing Gary Neville, quitting football, running off and living in caravan.
Dion Dublin - Having a "magnificent" member

 

[Fortitude]

These two might be considered good to great, but they are still infamous in the annuls of the PL, so fit the criteria for the thread, I'd say.

Tevez and Mascherano rocking up at a club like West Ham ushered in a new age of contract chicanery that was a pre-cursor to what was to come.

Nobody, not even West Ham, could believe two stars of South American football would turn out for them; nothing as mental has been seen since.

 

[van der star]

M.G. Pedersen - always scored free kicks against us.

 

[Karel Podolsky]

Jimmy Bullard
Roy Carroll
Gabor Kiraly

Wouldn’t that be Frank Sinclair? Always remembered him as the infamous own goals scorer

 

[Klopper76]

Ali Dia. Tricked his way into Southampton.

Dunn scored lot of own goals but the king if Carragher, iirc he scored more goals against Liverpool than for them

Dunne was a fantastic player, but he is the record holder for PL own goals scored with 10 and is also joint red card record holder with 8, along with Viera and Big Dunc.

 

[horsechoker]

Ali Dia. Tricked his way into Southampton.

Harsh on @Ali Dia

 

[UnrelatedPsuedo]

To the Ali Dia references… a new Podcast documents it;

Josh & Dara - 53 Minutes

(53 minutes being a reference to the amount of minutes the lad played)

 

[LochGormanAbú]

Fair aye,
10 is bonkers, braver than some others which probably contributed to some of those OG's, would never give anything up

 

[Berbasbullet]

Vinnie Jones - hard man footballer who is better known for acting.

 

[André Dominguez]

Tugay Kerimoglu: really think his talent deserved a much better career club wise.

Ah... good old times where you could permanently injure someone and only get a yellow card in the process

 

[Drainy]

Suarez

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Alexandre Jankewitz - got sent off 2 minutes into his first start for Southampton, who then lost 9-0 to United, was never heard from again.

 

[Oranges038]

Tugay Kerimoglu: really think his talent deserved a much better career club wise.

Thought about Tugay, hell of a player, he scored some absolute belters.

You could add.

Tony Yeboah - he's basically remembered for scoring 2 great goals and that's about it.

Jason Lee - "he's got a pineapple on his head".

Phil Babb for his collision with the post.

 

[Changeisgood]

Bramble and Robbie Savage. Fowler...Le Saux


Squillaci (How could he poor with a name like that?) and Grimandi for us.

Kieron Dier and Lee Bowyer fight was also memorbale. I return to that video from times to times.

Squillaci was actually a very good CB during his career. Things just didn't worked out for him as expected at Arsenal.

It's quality.

Up there with John Hartson kicking Eyal Berkovic in the head.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

the whole first season of Hull under Phil Brown

It was jaw dropping when these two were confirmed as West Ham players.

Yes, huge expectations when he came onboard... probably what kept us persevering for as long as we did.

 

[USREDEVIL]

Lee Bowyer

 

[King Eric 7]

Demba Ba - the goal which will never be forgotten.

 

[Wrecking ralf]

El Hadji Diouf. Has anyone been more hated for being a dirty rat?

 

[Oranges038]

Got this far without mentioning the Stevie Me slip. Never won and blew his best chance in a vital moment. Beautiful moment.
