If we're going back that far how can Tommy Langley not be on the list? Absolutely useless!

Blimey you've got a good memory! I remember seeing a guy with a T shirt that said "I saw Flanagan score" - wasn't you was it?! Anyway, his wiki entry states that "In summer 1979 he joined Crystal Palace for £650,000 where he played 56 games scoring 8 goals.". That's not a good return, but maybe better than some others that have been mentioned, in fairness... mind you, if you discount the hattrick you mentioned that gives him 5 goals in 55 games as a striker...

We had Flanagan and Allen up front !!

I couldn't find any video of him playing for Palace, but this gives you a flavour of just how bad Akinbiyi was... Enjoy. Not.
