Steve Thomson used to get a lot of undeserved abuse i thought as did Mikele Leigertwood.
Gary Borrowdale would also be someone i'd throw in the "scapegoat" category. We did go through a weird phase of over-criticising our academy players at the time (Watson, Soares and Borrowdale) - and weirdly was one of the few players to actually improve during the PT reign but he failed to carry on any real momentum. Going back a bit further, Paul Mortimer got it from the fanbase, just because he wasn't Salako (in the same way Gabbiadini wasn't Wright)

I know they've been mentioned previously but Aylott and Bason deserved everything they got. David Giles too. I was at The Vetch when he played against us in an FA cup game in 80 or 81 and he was the best player on the pitch that day. The locals told us he was the Welsh Kevin Keegan. We got Kevin Turvey.
Pardew is a gimme. I was a regular at away games when the Supa Al chant started as a pisstake. With his ego he thought we were being sincere....we let him know otherwise. That goal redeemed him slightly. But not enough.

Dele Adebola was never very good, but still far better than his many critics liked to claim.
Much like Henno, as Ruskin Old Boy accurately observes.

Steve Thomson and any of the youngsters that came through around the admin and Goldberg were supported by the majority of the crowd. Remember an away game at Charlton the young forward Andrew Martin took some abuse early in the game from one fan a number of fans were unhappy had a real go at the fan sure Andrew was not the best but they needed our support. Capped it off he scored though we lost. Last edited by N Herts Eagle; 03-08-2017 at 12:49 PM. |

Thing with Adebola, is we'd gone from having Clinton, Dougie and Kirovski on fire, to having Adebola, Akinbiyi, and AJ (who took some time to get going). I think that tainted people's views a bit. Plus he was never anything other than a mediocre Championship striker.

Interesting reading about John Sewell. I started watching Palace in Feb '70. I remember thinking in my young mind how shit he appeared to be, but not as shit as Jim Scott. I do not recall or was totally unaware of either getting stick from the fans though.
Paul Bodin in his very short career I also remember copping a lot of abuse, but again not sure if that was just me, or also expressed by the crowd around me. Calvin Andrew. |

Re Hennessey, i see it's becoming almost 'fashionable' to defend him on here, but for his entire time at the club he's never looked up to the level IMHO. Watch the Burnley home game again, amongst countless others. Practically 'sits down' for the second and is beaten at the near post. Just very bad technique. Then the Hull game where he flapped / superman impression at 0-0. This was after his much vaunted 'improvement'. He just isn't up to it. Not terrible, but just not Premiership class.

He deserved it for his sending off at home to Millwall if nothing else.
We were walking it 2 nil in the first half when he made a goal line save Martyn would've been proud of! They scored, we went down to 10 men and, in the end, held on to 2 all.

Old squarehead, Lee Sinnott, took quite a lot of stick. Felt a bit sorry for him TBH, even though he was pretty cr*p.
We had just had the best season of our history, finishing 3rd in the old Div 1 and instead of really pushing on, we signed this fellow, from Bradford City, I think. It didn't look a very ambitious signing and when we saw Lee play, the punters soon got on his back. |

That's quite funny because I've supported the club for 50+ years, and if I had to pick my all-time 11, I wouldn't think twice about including him as my first choice right back.
An unbelievably underrated player who never gave anything less than 100% and certainly made the most of his talent. I've seen many players over the years who have had far more ability than Paul, but few who applied themselves quite as consistently. Totally reliable & committed to the cause. A wonderful player. I suspect he picked up that 'Doris' tag for playing like an old woman when he first came into the side as a centre forward ![]() To be admired even more for the stick he took at the time, but reinvented himself into a consummate full back.

Sad but named two cats after Murphy. His surname not Jerry.
