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.
17. Libor Kozak
The centre forward offered promise in his first Premier League season as he scored four goals in 14 matches but he dropped away afterward. Only played six more times in the three years that followed. | Getty Images
18. Simon Dawkins
We’d forgotten the Jamaican even existed at Villa but his name was raised – he was that irrelevant. Has just 71 Premier League minutes to his name. | AFP via Getty Images
19. Jordan Bowery
Then manager Paul Lambert reckoned Bowery would surprise a few and succeed but he did everything but. Shipped off to the lower tiers after failing in the Premier League. | Getty Images
20. Grant Holt
Known for his impressive involvements at Nottingham Forest and Norwich City but didn’t have anywhere as much of an impact at Villa. The striker netted just once in 10 matches. | Getty Images
