Fotheringham was a dreadful player for us and a bizarre choice as captain. His passing, as long as it was ten yards or less in distance, and backwards or sideways in direction, was fine. Nothing else in his game was anything other than bog standard mediocrity. Few goals, tackles, dribbles, runs, not the best at tracking back or marking, and had that annoying habit of clapping his hands together as if he was trying to kill one of those irritating fruitflies you get this time of year (though given his reaction time, the fruitfly in question had probably already died of old age).
He's played at something like 12 clubs in the last 15 years, and I'd say there's a reason for that - he gets found out as being rubbish and then leaves.
If we've had much worse then I'd like to have seen them. Even Tudur-Jones, Matty Pattison, Darel Russell, Sean Carey and Matty Gill were better CMs than Fotheringham.
