ENGLAND'S WORST FOOTBALLERS looks at all 92 Premiership and Nationwide clubs in England and selects the worst player each club has ever had. For example, the Southampton player Ali Dia, who the then manager Graeme Souness had bought on seeing only a video recording, who was so bad that after 10 minutes he was taken off, never to appear again. A match report about first division Reading described a player who was so bad that he was terrified of the ball when it was passed to him. Arsenal's choice of the worst ever player could be John Jensen who after all was a successful Danish international who had scored a spectacular goal in the European Nations Final of 1992 against Germany. However, Jensen scored one goal in 149 matches and indirectly brought about the downfall of a great manager, George Graham, because of transfer irregularities. Or at Southend there is the case of ex-Spurs player Dean Austin, who insisted on taking penalties and kept missing them. It is as much about expectations being utterly unfulfilled rather than about some mediocre player who gets lucky and is picked for one game. Every fan has a view about who is the worst player they have ever seen represent their club, and this book promises to enliven debates all round the country.
