After his performance on Sunday, Mustafi is being labelled as possibly Arsenals worst ever defender.

Not sure if this has been done before, but I was thinking about our worst ever defender.

Been thinking back, and I'm struggling at the moment to think of anyone worse than Leif Andersen.

Maybe not one of the worst, but big Claude {hopper} Davis was always prone to a gaff,
Did like his commitment thou.

I loved Claude, he was such a beast and had a massive presence at the back, scared the crap out of me just sitting behind the goal, but you’re right, he always felt like a fcuk up waiting to happen

Yes, I think Harrison takes the accolade.

Still a bit of a shame that his career was cut short through injury rather than plain incompetence. I read somewhere that he suffered badly from depression after being forced out.

I think it is the fact that Mustafi has played 80 games for a top club that marks him out.
Ismael stands out for me because he cost so much but he only played 13 times. Did any really poor players last two full seasons with us?

Bobby Goldthorpe. One game. Completely schooled by Derek Dougan and never wore the shirt again

Zeki Fryers? I didn’t see his one game, but it was bad enough for him to never to play again

Wasn't one game at all - for a while, bringing him on at left-back was Pardew's go-to substitution, because he came on once and provided an assist.

Neil Ruddock started off ok and then went downhill as quickly as his weight sky rocketed.

I remember one game where he misjudged the flight of the ball, it bounced (over his head!) and the attacker went around him and scored.
