Arsenal: Worst Ever Premier League 11

Central Midfielder 2: John Jensen

John Jensen was a national hero in Denmark after scoring a spectacular goal in their European Championship victory in 1992, and was therefore approached by George Graham as a perceived replacement to outgoing Arsenal legend David Rocastle. The Dane at the time of his arrival at the club was one of only a few foreign imports in the Premier League, and was a regular player in the first team during the four years he was at the club. However, it should be remembered that these years were some of the least eventful in Arsenal's history, as they stumbled in the league and only had partial success in the domestic cups. He was by no means a bad player, but he was certainly unspectacular and had no particularly special qualities. Except of course his quality for not scoring goals. His talent may have been lacking, but he became a cult figure at Arsenal for the desire to witness him scoring a goal. One of the most remarkable moments in Arsenal's Premier League stay was his solitary goal against QPR that launched a pitch invasion. However, though the moment was great the eventual loss against QPR was becoming far too regular an occurrence. Furthermore, the signing of Jensen was actually brought into disrepute due to his transfer being a part of the 'bung' scandal. This brought Arsenal into disrepute and led directly to the resignation of George Graham. So in all, Jensen's one moment of brilliance could not overshadow the rest of his mediocre career in England.
