7. Maurice Flitcroft

As seen on: Golf

Technically, Maurice Flitcroft never made it to the pros. But technically, Maurice Flitcroft was absotively, posilutlely bananas.

"Dad always told me there was money in the banana stand."

Even though he never made it past the British Open - and he never should have made it that far - going pro was Flitcroft's dream, and no one, not even his record-breakingly bad golf game, was going to tell him otherwise.

14 of the Worst Sportsfolk Ever Allowed on a Field (Part 1)

There's a little bit of sports fan in all some a few of us. I, myself, am a baseball man, though I take in the occasional (American) football - or "handegg" if you prefer - and basketball game, too. Those of us who have the appropriately-colored blood pumping through our veins love to cheer for our favorite teams and hope to frighten the others with our boos until they collapse in a puddle of piss and shame.

Or wet themselves laughing.

Unfortunately, no team is ever perfect, as much as any rabid fan or PR agent would love for you to believe. Even the '95 Bulls had Randy Brown. He wasn't bad, per se, certainly not enough to earn him a spot on the list, but he missed 6 of every 10 shots he took that season. Not exactly highlight reel stuff. And every fan's been there: we've all had to shake our heads through at least one player whose performance is more akin to an autistic, one-armed chimpanzee folding a paper airplane. This list is a celebration of truly some of the worst in professional point-scoring. I've tried to keep it varied, so that each of the big sports gets some representation.

So, without further adieu, those whose collective presence anywhere other than the stands is still more baffling to science than string theory or black holes.
