Worst Premier League Players of All Time (Part 3)

almost 2 years ago

G'day tribe. Over the last few days I've posted about the worst EPL players in history. Players like Jozy Altidore had so much potential but just could never perform in Europe's best leagues.

Massimo Taibi was a pleasure to write about as I'm a hater of United. Bebe was another United failure and in a sign of just how good Man United are, there are such high expectations for anybody who signs for the Red Devils to perform.

Let's take a look at the final three!

3. Junior Lewis (Leicester)

For some reason manager Peter Taylor was obsessed with midfielder Junior Lewis, dragging him along to eight different clubs. In three seasons at Leicester he made 21 Premier League appearances. Lewis simply wasn't up to EPL standards

Your club's WORST player... ever!

2. Savio Nsereko (West Ham)

In 2009 West Ham bought Savio Nsereko to replace Craig Bellamy for about £9 million. Six months later and after only 10 games he was sold to Fiorentina for less than £3 million. Savio ia third on the list of worst premier league players of all time. He joined West Ham after only three goals in Serie B with Brescia and was glaringly fragile in the Premier League.

1. Ali Dia (Southampton)

Ali Dia is the worst Premier League player of all time. He infamously claimed to be the cousin of legendary George Weah's in 1995. It worked as Southampton boss Graeme Souness fell for it, signed him onto a one-month contract and subbed on the Senegalese forward 32 minutes into a league game.

Dia's football experience was only a few substitute appearances in the lower leagues of English and German football. Incredibly and despite running around aimlessly he survived for 52 minutes before being subbed off.

A move to Gateshead followed and he didn't even last at Conference level football. Ali Dia tops the list of worst premier league players of all time.
