Team of an era: Ronnie Moore's flops XI

I was only a little tot when Mimmsy was around first time so I have nowt to remember him for other than a calamitous keeper that couldn't kick, wouldn't come for catches and parried weak shots back in to the goal mouth. All in all a weak link in a team that already had a weak defence. Great move by Ronnie shipping him off to York.

Brought to the club by Ronnie from his former employers (he has a habit of doing that you know) Martin Clark was a postman, playing only part time the season before his arrival. His time at Rotherham was definitely a case of best sticking to the day job as he was truly rubbish. He wanted too much time on the ball, his distribution was pants and he wasn't very good in a tackle. All in all pure pap.

The 'Wilder Beast' quickly got compared to a fireman because "he always puts it out". Clearly no more of a footballer than Mr Blobby, his ability on the ball was truly awful and you have to wonder how this kid ever made it as a pro. He was liable to many a defensive slip that often resulted in goals, so I had no doubts that Wilsterman would make this team.

A one appearance wonder, Carr was signed on loan from Brighton as cover for the suspended Branston and his only game was that classic 3-2 victory over Millwall in the 00-01 promotion season. On that one showing, he proved that he was a real donkey, making HMS Barker look like an Olympic sprinter and Ronnie wisely decided that just one appearance was more than enough.

Roscoe was a true hate figure with the Rotherham fans and that is because he was so rubbish. He's in my team at left back which he played at quite often to make space for more numpties further up the pitch, but make no mistake, Roscoe was the first name on the sheet. Seemingly colour blind as he could never pick out a red shirt and a total wimp, Roscoe blamed his poor performances on the crowd at Millmoor. Well they did cheer when he was injured! Fittingly he missed a penalty in the play off defeat to Orient and praise the lord was never seen in a Rotherham shirt again.

Warney may think himself very unlucky to get in this team and he was in contention for the 'best ever' Ronnie Moore team. However, due to lack of options on the right hand side of midfield and my refusal to put Trevor Berry in this team means that Warne gets the shirt. Often asked to play wide right in Division One when Sedgy was injured or suspended Warne, though giving everything in effort was not up to scratch and became a weak link. His ineffectiveness out wide, in my mind helped diminish his confidence so much so that in his last few seasons at Millmoor, he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo.

Oh dear, Swan Lake comes to Millmoor. Possibly Ronnie's worst signing, this kid really is hopeless. So much so that I feel sorry for him. Like a ballet dancer prancing around in the midfield, he cannot tackle, he cannot pass and he has no positional awareness. Reports are that he has never recovered from being stabbed, which is a great shame but the fact still remains that I would rather play my Grandma at centre midfield instead of him.

Very much a similar mould to Vanessa, Danny Hudson was so powder puff it made the kids playing in the Advertiser cup at half time look like the Incredible Hulk. He ran around a lot with out really doing much and offered no presence for us in the middle of the park. He scored quite a few goals though so may feel aggrieved to make this XI but he made me fail my driving test so he's in there! It's a long story!

When Andy Turner signed for us at the start of the 99/00 season, most Roth fans were quite excited as he had a great pedigree and Premiership experience. However, he was blatantly the worst ex-Premiership player there has ever been. He must have had serious demons in his head because he couldn't cross, he couldn't beat a man, he lost possession too easily and looked out of his depth in Division Three!

Good old Gijsbert and his white boots! You knew he was going to be in this XI and in fact was in a real scrap with Roscoe to be the first one on the sheet. Actually four goals in seven starts for Rotherham is quite an impressive strike rate but that does not hide the fact that he is truly one of the worst players ever to play the game. He too was reminiscent of a ballet dancer and had the touch of a camel! In Gerry The Berry's Advertiser days he was the only player I can remember to get a 4 out of 10 in his ratings. And he was being generous.

Awful player. What did he ever do? Apart from miss a few sitters! In order to have my memory refreshed and be in a position to pick players for this team, me and Denti sat through a couple of hours watching old videos and one thing that stuck out more than most was the amount of absolute sitters that Andy Hayward seemed to miss. Didn't he at one point have a moustache as well? Surely his has to be in the team just for that!
