Poor Aaron Ramsdale has already been relegated from the Premier League twice, with Bournemouth and Sheffield United… regardless of successful participant of the yr at each golf equipment throughout these campaigns.
And with Southampton stranded on the backside of the desk, Ramsdale is heading in the right direction to go down from the highest flight for a 3rd time at simply 26 years previous until Russell Martin’s facet are in a position to steer themselves clear.
We’ll spare you the checklist in full as a result of it is frankly a lot too lengthy, however this is among the extra notable figures to have suffered the ache of relegation from the Premier League on at the very least three events.
Kevin Phillips (3 relegations)
Alan Shearer, Kevin Phillips, Harry Kane. So runs the whole checklist of Englishmen to have scored at the very least 30 Premier League objectives in a 38-game Premier League season.
Phillips took the golden boot for his 30-goal haul for Sunderland in 1999/2000, however three years later was a part of an nearly traditionally unhealthy Black Cats facet that slipped again down into the second tier.
The striker promptly left for Southampton, who completed backside in his second season on the membership in 2004/05. Phillips was then a bit-part participant within the Birmingham facet that went down in 2010/11. Talking of which…
Ben Foster (3 relegations)
After ending a spell with Manchester United that he completely hated, the England worldwide goalkeeper performed each sport for Alex McLeish’s Birmingham in that doomed 2010/11 marketing campaign.
That was to be Foster’s solely season on the membership as he stayed within the prime flight with a mortgage to native rivals West Brom that then grew to become everlasting. The Baggies adopted Birmingham into the Championship in 2017/18, and once more Foster jumped ship to remain within the Premier League, re-joining former membership Watford.
In fact, they went down too, in Foster’s second season on the membership; this time he stayed and helped them safe a right away return from the second tier.
Rob Inexperienced (4 relegations)
One other Three Lions gloveman, Inexperienced was a part of the Norwich facet who adopted membership customized by getting promoted to the Premier League solely to instantly return to the Championship in 2004/05.
After a season again within the second tier, Inexperienced joined West Ham United, the place he served with distinction for six years…the final of which was spent within the Championship, Inexperienced having been a part of the relegated facet of 2010/11, only a yr after his first (and solely) look at a significant worldwide match.
Inexperienced left West Ham regardless of their securing a right away promotion, shifting throughout London to affix QPR, who promptly yo-yoed from Premier League to Championship to Premier League to Championship so as to add two extra relegations to Inexperienced’s CV.
Nathan Blake (5 relegations)
A deadly centre-forward on his day, Blake joined Sheffield United in direction of the tail finish of the 1993/94 season however was unable to maintain them from taking place. That is relegation primary.
The striker joined Bolton halfway via the 1995/96 season however was once more unable to maintain them up. Blake’s 19-goal haul helped fireplace Bolton straight again to promotion, and he reached double figures in his first full season within the Premier League (12 objectives in complete) – nevertheless it was nonetheless not sufficient to maintain them up. That is three relegations
On to Blackburn, then, the place the Welsh worldwide struggled for type and was relegated for a fourth time in 1998/99. From there? Wolves. Did properly, helped them get promoted, instantly went again down in 2003/04.
That made it 5 relegations in 11 seasons, and a brand new Premier League report set that also hasn’t been damaged. Nevertheless it has been equalled…
Sure, Hreidarsson joins Blake as the one different member of the 5 Relegations Membership. We surprise in the event that they get collectively each Could and have just a little social gathering? Is that the place his good Wikipedia profile photograph comes from? Who can say.
Hreidarsson went down with Crystal Palace in 1998, Wimbledon in 2000, Ipswich in 2002, Charlton in 2007, and at last Portsmouth in 2010.
Extremely, the Icelandic centre-back was by no means truly promoted into the Premier League, with the one promotion of his profession coming as he helped carry Brentford from the fourth tier to the third in between his spells at Wimbledon and Ipswich.
