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.

21. Danny Drinkwater
Remembered for the historic Leicester City title win but didn’t reach the heights at Villa. Nor did he at Chelsea, Burnley or Reading. Been without a club for over a year. | Getty Images

22. Charles N’Zogbia
Racked up plenty of assists but was never consistent enough, a few Villa fans have said. The midfielder definitely didn’t meet his form from his Wigan Athletic and Newcastle United days. | Getty Images

23. Pierluigi Gollini
Conceded only 17 goals in 20 matches but had so many mistakes in him. Has since gone on to play for Atalanta, Tottenham, Fiorentina and Napoli. | Getty Images

24. Habib Beye
The former PSG, Marseille and Newcastle man isn’t getting away from missing out on this list as six people put him up as the worst player. The right-back played just nine times for Villa. | Getty Images
