Newcastle United's Worst-Ever Premier League XI

12. SUB 1 - John Karelse

Newcastle United: 1999-2003

Nationality: Dutch

Position: Goalkeeper

Cost: £800,000 (Signed from NAC Breda)

Premier League Appearances: 3

Premier League Goals Conceded: 7

For all you need to know about John Karelse, go to Youtube to watch his debut against Southampton in 1999 when he conceded four - and somehow he still managed to make another two appearances.

Conceding seven goals in three matches is hardly a record for a keeper to be proud of, and he departed in 2003 having made just three Premier League appearances in four years.
