7. Tomas Brolin – Leeds United, 1995-97, Crystal Palace, 1998
The Swede had never been prolific, and in all truth only had one decent goal of note under his best from the 1994 World Cup, but that didn’t stop a talented Leeds side from bringing him on board to score four goals in 20 games over two years.
He once decided to play badly in a game against Liverpool to prove a point to Howard Wilkinson and was promptly dropped for the remainder of the season bar one game.
Joined Palace for an even more pointless spell in 1998 before retiring.
