FFC "villains"

Michael Brown, Peter Storey, Rueben Leftus Quick.

 

Yes Michael Brown was a nasty piece of work, I always felt ashamed to admit he played for Fulham.

[Southcoastffc]

Storey had been a crucial player in the Arsenal Double winning side, as a feared midfield enforcer, the type every team needed in those days, and he  performed the same role for Fulham - that was his job and he did it well, I thought.

We used to get quite a few players from Arsenal in those days, and still do I suppose, with Leno such an asset.
Jackie Henderson is another I remember from the early 60's, Scottish international attacking midfielder, and  a regular alongside Haynes , etc. at one time.
Also, the  ex- 'new Georgie Best', Peter Marinello, playing on the wing in the late 70's.

Here's Wiki's version of Storey's personal life - not much to like there.

His marriage to first wife Susan broke down six months after their marriage in summer 1969. She left him for good in February 1971 after tiring of his self-described "boozy, carefree ways". He met his second wife, Cathy McDonald, at London's Playboy Club in May 1972. The pair began living together before getting married in 1975. The couple had a daughter, Natalie, in December 1976. He married third wife Gill shortly before the arrival of his son, Peter, born in November 1981. His second son, Anthony, was born in December 1982. His third son, Jamie, was born in September 1987. He later divorced Gill and married a Frenchwoman, Daniele Scorceletti. He later split from Daniele and got back together with Gill, before leaving Gill and his three sons to return to Daniele some years later. By 2010 he was in regular contact with his three sons, but has not seen daughter Natalie in decades.

His life began to fall apart in 1975 after he took a three-year tenancy agreement out on the Jolly Farmers pub on north London's Southgate Road. At the time it was common for footballers to invest in pubs, as did other Arsenal teammates. His marriage to Cathy fell apart as he spent more nights at his pub, with the attractions of drink and women, than at home with his wife. He became more dependent on alcohol as his career at Arsenal came to an end. He also invested in a minicab firm in Newington Green, that failed.

"I was never a criminal mastermind, but rather a foolish former footballer with more money than sense... It sounds so big-time, so glamorous doesn't it? All I did was lend some money to blokes I thought were going to make a few quid by knocking out cheap imitation jewellery."


He turned to crime when helping local gangsters, the Barry brothers, to counterfeit money by providing finance and storage of the cast die.[84] He was arrested, and whilst on bail set up a brothel called the Calypso Massage Parlour with three women to try and raise enough money to flee to Spain to avoid his trial for conspiracy to produce counterfeit money. He was arrested and pleaded guilty to keeping a brothel on 22 December 1979, and was handed a £700 fine and a six-month suspended sentence. He was also briefly jailed for contempt of court after failing appear at his bankruptcy hearings.

In September 1980 the trial for conspiracy to produce counterfeit money came to a conclusion and Storey was sentenced to three years imprisonment. He served his time at Wandsworth and Spring Hill. He was handed a 12-month suspended sentence in April 1982 for stealing two cars he had on hire purchase whilst running his minicab firm.

After a time on unemployment benefits he worked on a market stall in Portobello Road.[74] In 1990, he was jailed for 28 days for attempting to import 20 pornographic videos from Europe which he had hidden in a spare tyre. After his release he worked as a minicab driver in Islington ran by Tommy Adams. He spent 1995 in Istanbul working as a chauffeur for Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and his entourage. In 2004, he moved to a village near Toulouse in Southern France with Daniele. He sold much of his football memorabilia and medals for £20,000.

Paul Parker for me. Not sure what the club did to him by my god does he dislike FFC. Never once heard him say anything remotely nice about us.

Loved him as a player but not a fan now.

My feelings exactly. I remember him trying to break Sean Davis in half when he returned playing for Spurs. Horrible little player.

[Jim©]

I'd agree with Mark Cooper and add Kevin Ball and Andy Melville. All three were stealing a living in my opinion.

I genuinely never understood the hatred for Melville- he was a pretty decent CB and a pretty lovely fella off the pitch too. The booing of him when his name was read out used to make me cringe

[Somerset Fulham]

I'm surprised not to have seen Messer's Hurlock and Mauge making the list yet.

[Cambridge Away]

Berbatov - Not a team player

Parker - always rubbed me the wrong way

Ruben Loftus Cheek - just didn't give a crap

Anguissa - same as above

Mark Hughes - miserable p****

Claudio Ranieri - for a number of reasons

I fully endorse this one

Why Lee Clark

Must be something deep and dark for Lee Clark to be brought up. He was super for us.

Super for us going sideways or backwards, apart from Ray Wilkins Clark was the most negative player I've seen in a Fulham shirt !

Do you even support Fulham? Ray Wilkins never even played for us! Why contribute if you have nothing valuable to add? Boa Morte was a bit of a crazy character, but i don't know any Fulham fan that thinks of him other than an absolute legend (worth noting that he was the very last QUALITY player to jump ship from the Tigana era, as Al Fayed started penny pinching - after Saha, Davis, Van Der Sar and Malbranque). And Lee Clark? WTF! Played for us in one of our most exciting ever periods. This board should be invite only!

Been supporting Fulham since 1959 , visited over 140 grounds supporting my team , and I'm entitled to my opinion , regarding Wilkins , I know he never played for Fulham ! You obviously never saw Clark or Boa Morte play !

Forumspeak:

"You obviously never saw X play" = "Your opinion of X differs from mine"

It's good you are such a loyal supporter; but, why not explain why you have named Ray Wilkins as one of the worst players you have "seen in a Fulham shirt"? Surely, you can see it makes your extremely leftfield argument (against two club legends) look pretty weak. The only time i remember seeing Ray Wilkins near our club (before the Keegan days) was when he popped up at Leyton Orient around the time Shilton was making his 1000th appearance.

I'm guessing we must've had two Lee Clarks because the box to box,non stop running player who weighed in with his fair share of goals sounds nothing like the one you remember
Again it's opinions but to say Clark is one of the most negative Fulham players you've seen imho is one of the most ludicrous things I've read on here

I am really struggling to disagree with this.

[Willham]

I am loving the bewilderness of the Clark comment.

I dispised smalling, if it weren't for making us 10 mill he'd be top of my list.

But that goes to a special player around the same era....

Adel taarabt, so bad I tried to make myself forget he existed. Surprised he hasn't turned up on this list yet

[Barrett487]

I was never keen on Alan Cork, but it's another vote for Michael Brown from me.

[Rupert]

Tony Parks.

Brentford goalie who contemptuously stepped over an unconscious Gordon Davies after he had been assaulted by Jamie Bates, right in front of the away end at Griffin Park. He then came on loan to us. We always applauded the opposition goalie as he came towards the Hammersmith End, it was the only time I did not applaud our own.

Michael Brown

Can't believe it took 9 posts for this response! Easily my least favourite Fulham player of all-time.

I was no fan of Lawrie Sanchez, but even he could see that Brown needed to be moved on ASAP.

[Jims Dentist]

Lee Clark and Boa Morte !

Predictable!!😀

[Somerset Fulham]

I still don't know what Lee Clark did to get on to this list either.
