4. David Unsworth – Aston Villa, 1998
The former England international proved that some people’s geographical knowledge actually is THAT bad.
Upon leaving West Ham in 1998 he penned a £3m deal with Birmingham based Aston Villa, only to leave them 24 hours later to join Everton for the same fee after his wife believed that Birmingham was near her family home in Bolton. Hearing that it was the pair demanded a move and he still holds the record for being the shortest serving Villa player in history.
