The 3 Worst West Ham Players. Ever.


Gary Charles

Hammers’ fans are staunchly proud of the fact that their club contributed so much to England’s sole World Cup triumph in 1966. Boasting such luminaries as Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst, their list of past players reads like a pantheon of footballing greats.

There are, however, just one or two that they’d rather keep quiet about.

Northern Irish goalkeeper Allen McKnight was truly dreadful. His arrival in 1988 sparked a downturn in West Ham’s fortunes as they were relegated from the top flight in only his first season. Manager John Lyall was promptly sacked and Allen (who by then was affectionately known as Allen McKnightmare) made just 23 appearances during his three year stint at Upton Park. He left disgraced and the East Londoners were promoted again the season after.
