Who is the worst footballer ever to play for England?

I'm talking soccer, footie, association football etc here. I think it's got to be one of Graham Taylor's 'one cap wonders.' Look at the worst ever England team as compiled by Observer Sport Monthly before Euro 2004. It is choc full of them!|||gareth southgate|||i know the best Bekham is the best|||Carlton Palmer or Andy Gray|||David Batty - or any Leeds player.|||Gascoin|||Wayne Rooney (if that's his name)! Soccer sucks, it's boring. NFL is the only football.|||Geoff Thomas - no doubt about it!|||Do you remember that cat in '98? it was our closest to scoring a penalty!|||I think the worst person to play 4 england has 2 b cris waddle he was jus so rubish he mis penalty|||i think james the goalkeeper who played for them in europe sucked. he let simple goals in and was just overall bad. maybe hes not the worst but i think hes close to it. oh and what the hell is owen hargreaves doing in the team|||david beckham....|||i only know who is best i like owen crouch and rooney|||Gareth Southgate.|||Probably have to say Carlton Palmer|||Well Carlton Palmer was pretty useless * Andy Gray Is Scottish!.


maybe Peter Reid for letting Maradonna turn him inside out in `86 (joking) how about the poor Peter Bonetti (although he was thrust into the game due to to Banks` injury) in 70 (?) or you could lynch Batty,Waddle,Southgate or pearce fr missing penalties :-)|||the one that now plays for Real Madrid who is always hurt and use to go out with Kate Lawler.|||Carlton bloody Palmer. End of discussion!|||owen hardgreves|||ray clemence whoes ambition I think was to be a goal scorer. He was always in the wrong place|||David Beckham is a media clown, he should stick to modeling not football. Egotistical trash.|||Lee dixon, carlton palmer, andy sinton, owen hargreaves, danny wallace, david white, michael ricketts, dave beasant and john fashnu all spring to mind. Oddly enough most of these were picked by graham taylor|||Owen hargreaves|||Carlton Palmer|||i think the worst has got to be Carlton (farmer) Palmer he was bleedin useless and that would be slanderous if not true|||Everybody|||Emile (the donkey) heskey.....man he is crap|||David Batty, he missed a crucial penalty against our arch-rivals Argentina.|||Some good answers, and some bad ones but so far all wrong. Yes he was picked by Graham Taylor and scored England's sh*tish goal ever. It was the little useless sh*t himself....Dennis Wise.|||Hey enough being harsh to the penalty missers thats just bad luck! As for my choice it has to be Hargreaves he isnt worth the material it takes to make his shirt but Sven keeps on pickin him anyway! Close runner up is Heskey|||Emile heskey! what a donkey|||Carlton Palmer without a doubt one of the worst players to pull on an england shirt, and he got quite a few caps.





Geoff Thomas only got 1 cap so you can't really say he was the worst, although he was never good enough to play for his country he was still a decent club player
