9 Unfortunate Premier League Records No Player Wants
4. Player With The Most Relegations Of All Time
The phrase ‘yo-yo’ team has been coined for those teams that are forever getting promoted and relegated seemingly like clockwork. Sadly for some players, they get caught up in these whirlwinds of constant division changes, and find a catalogue of relegations on their personal resume. As the first record featured to be shared between more than one player, the most relegated players in Premier League history are Nathan Blake and Hermann Hreidarsson.
They have a troubling five relegations each.
Blake saw his first relegation with Sheffield United in 1995. Blake grabbed his next relegations with Bolton in 1996 and 1998, before leaving for Blackburn and being relegated again in 1999. Just as things looked like they couldn’t get any worse, he was relegated one final time in 2004 with Wolves.
Hermann Hreidarsson started his relegation record career as soon as he arrived in English football, being relegated with Crystal palace in 1998. His other relegations came from spells with Brentford, Ipswich, Charlton and finally Portsmouth.
