Slowest Blackpool player?

[Willie Mcgrotty]

A bit of rain & I noticed a snail in our garden.
Immediately thought of Mike Walsh (ex Bolton left back) before us.
I honestly couldn't ever tell the difference between him supposedly running or stood still.
Must have had good positional sense.
Think he actually invented walking football.

Always thought Hendry was a bit of a cart horse

Brian Reid had the turning circle of a bus.

 

[L’étranger]

Yes Walsh was painfully slow as were Coughlin, Paul Jones and Keith Pritchett.

 

[Athers]

Malkin the mule

As soon as i read the title i thought the same. I can still vividly remember what David Lowe did to him at Wigan!.

THE infamous Russell Coughlin‘s two yard penalty run up could have him as a contender for the quickest player thread.
But yes, I agree he was painfully slow at times

 

[Miko]

Big Ben Burgess must be a contender.

I always thought Tom White was a carthorse until I played against him and all I could ever do was kick the bugger from a standing start to stop him.

 

[585 = never give up]

Brian Reid had the turning circle of a bus.

LOL; Brian always played like he had an ironing board shoved up the back of his shirt!

 

[585 = never give up]

Steve Davies had good ball control but run like a Worzel Gummage!

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Andy Garner, maybe just his gait but looked like he was running in slow-mo

 

[Waiters' Flat Cap]

Ian Marshall

 

[Wizzerboy]

Brian Reid had the turning circle of a bus.

Andy Reid was worse, I'm certain that Blackpool signed Andy Reid's fatter twin brother in that prem season

 

[Jonnyseasider]

Gary MacKenzie took him about 5 minutes to turn when the striker got behind him

 

[EPM46]

John “Roll out the barrel“ Doolan! What a donkey!

 

[B_Block_Tangerine]

Kirk Broadfoot and Graham Fenton spring to mind

 

[FessParker]

Andy Gouck

[BFC_Aspie]

Ryan Edwards

 

[Giro]

Wasn’t it John Burridge when he, allegedly, whipped a pair of shoes from Vernon Humpage?

Apparently, they were made of tortoise shell. It took him 2 hours to walk out of the shop!

 

[PNENIL]

Paul Fletcher after his injury. The linesman used to overtake him at times.

 

[22abus]

Gotta be Dave Bamber - when he was running it was very deceptive.
He was actually even slower than he looked.

 

[DownToBloomers]

Big Ben Burgess must be a contender.

Loved Big Ben but he played like he was towing a caravan

The man had the turning circle of an oil tanker...

Nice lad though and score some crucial goals.

 

[NAPMer]

Who remembers the defender Chris Clarke - jeez - my Granny who is 97 would move quicker!

 

[Hadley]

Dave Lancaster was awfully slow.
