Fans pick fantasy flops

Football fans have picked a team of the worst 11 players ever to 'grace' the Premier League.

And there are more players from ten-times champions Manchester United than any other club, reports The Sun.

A survey of 1,000 fans by Top Up TV chose Massimo Taibi, the hapless Italian who played just four times for Man U, as goalkeeper.

The back four consists of Wigan Athletic's Titus Bramble, Newcastle's Jean-Alain Boumsong, Darren Peacock (QPR) and Everton's Abel Xavier.

In midfield are Man U pair Eric Djemba-Djemba and Luke Chadwick, alongside former Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds player Carlton Palmer.

The strikers selected are Middlesbrough's Lee Dong Gook, Tomas Brolin (Leeds) and Man United's Diego Forlan.

The fan's also picked a manager - Sammy Lee, whose disastrous spell as Bolton boss got him the job just ahead of Tottenham's Christian Gross.

Jim Hytner, of Top Up TV, said: "Taibi is probably the worst of all, but Titus Bramble still got more votes."
