Aston Villa, just like all other big clubs in England, have had their fair share of under-performers and flops over the years, some of whom stand out more than others.
From players who couldn’t hit a barn door to serial blunderers and expensive transfer mistakes, a few are recent while plenty are from periods gone by.
We thought it would be a bit of fun to ask Villa fans on Facebook who they think are contenders to take the crown for the worst Villan of them all. The responses were vast, to say the least, as supporters reflected on the past.
Flick through the pages to see 26 of the worst players, all of whom have been directly selected by Villa fans.
13. Nigel Callaghan
The winger came in during the early 1990s with plenty of top flight experience but didn’t live up to expectations. | Getty Images
14. Aleksander Tonev
Quite the forgotten man is Tonev, who didn’t score a single goal in 20 appearances as a left winger. £3 million wasted. | Getty Images
15. Nicklas Helenius
Has a surname that sounds similar to a Greek god but the Dane was anything but. Just one goal in six appearances and he’s been back in Denmark ever since. | Getty Images
16. Yacouba Sylla
Two seasons of pure disappointment from the £1.5 million midfielder, who has gained multiple nominations for the least wanted award. | Getty Images
