The 15 best players ever to be relegated from the Premier League

[davieG]

1. ROY KEANE  (NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1992/93)
2. Paolo Di Canio (West Ham, 2002/03)

3. JUNINHO (MIDDLESBROUGH, 1996/97)

4. SCOTT PARKER (WEST HAM, 2010/11)

5. CHARLIE AUSTIN (QPR, 2014/15)

6. ANDREW JOHNSON (CRYSTAL PALACE, 2004/05)

7. MARK VIDUKA (LEEDS, 2003/04)

8. MUZZY IZZET (LEICESTER, 2003/04)

 

If every retired Leicester legend made a claim to get in the Foxes' current side, Izzet would have one of the best chances. In 2003/04, the Turkey international got a Premier League-high 14 assists ahead of Ryan Giggs, despite the Foxes' miserable relegation to the second tier. Having stayed put upon their first relegation in 2002, Izzet finally left for Birmingham on a free transfer after eight successful years in the East Midlands.  

 

9. GEORGI KINKLADZE (MANCHESTER CITY, 1995/96)

10. CRAIG BELLAMY (COVENTRY, 2000/01)

11. Gilles De Bilde (Sheffield Wednesday, 1999/2000)

12. CHARLIE ADAM (BLACKPOOL, 2010/11)

13. JOSTEIN FLO (SHEFFIELD UNITED, 1993/94)

14. Jan Age Fjortoft (Swindon Town, 1993/94)
15. GARETH SOUTHGATE (CRYSTAL PALACE 1994/95)

That Harry Maguire lad isn't too bad

[LinekersApples]

Poor old Juninho

 

Relegated and still can't see the light of day as he's stuck in Pontus Kaamarks pocket.

 

Still man marking him to this very day.

[urban.spaceman]

Er, Premier League Winner, Andy King?!

 

He’s been relegated from two thirds of the leagues he’s won. 

[RutlanderFox]

Shaqiri maybe

Back before Richard Keys & Andy Gray invented football in 1992

His hips don't lie.

[sylofox]

Just for pure effort Steve walsh. 

[StriderHiryu]

14 assists from Muzzy during a relegation season is genuinely incredible. Just goes to show you how good and underrated he was.

[Tuna]

Giles de Bilde was rubbish.

[Kopic]

Adam Johnson.

[fuchsntf]

Any Leicester team...close thread!!!!

And how shite our defence was. We conceded shed loads, especially late goals.

 

Edit - looking at the table we were joint highest scorers below the top five.
