10 Most Undeserving Players Who Appeared 50 Times For Newcastle
5. Clarence Acuna - 59 Appearances
Chilean terrier Acuna is fondly remembered by Newcastle fans for the story that emerged about his being arrested for drink driving while dressed as Captain Hook, as well as for a single barn-storming performance against Arsenal that helped break the long-running London hoodoo. Beyond that, you'd be hard-pressed to remember him doing anything else in black and white. Some might suggest that the tough-tackling midfielder was something of a cult figure, but in truth, he just wasn't really Premier League quality, and the "cult" label would only protect him from due analysis. He came with a reasonably impressive reputation having amassed 50 caps for Chile, but he never really found his feet in England over four years, and in truth when he was released for family reasons after four years, it was at least two years longer than he should have stayed at the club.
