Cheers Stillroom, I did wonder about adding the Worst Player and Worst Manager to the list, but I guess where do you draw the line? Plus, it's nice to keep it positive

The 'Best' Categories will generate similar answers I feel.
For example - best Foreign player - few can better Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, Gianfranco Zola and Dennis Bergkamp .... yes I take it there will be other choices too.....
However, I feel that the following questions may generate more varied responses -
Worst Team ?
Worst Goalkeeper ?
Worst Striker ?
Greatest win by a Smaller Team over a Bigger Club ?
Most Spectacular Own Goal ?
Most Spectacular Mistake by a player in a match ?
Most Controversial Refereeing Decision ?
Best 'Right Hammering (completely thrashed)' for a club ?
