As I state below, "clogger" doesn't (for me) always equate to "useless".

More "inelegant". Which I think applies to Big Rob and then some (I always liked him - hard-working and honest).

Bradshaw was the worst kind of clogger, IMO - violent, entirely devoid of skill, and crap at the job he was supposed to do. Another candidate for Worst Player of the Last Ten Years, IMO.
