BUT THIS LOT NEVER REPEATED THEY ON-FIELD SUCCESS

GK: PETER SHILTON England’s most capped player and a two-time European Cup winner but none of that helped him from getting Plymouth relegated.

RB: GARY NEVILLE One of the finest rightbacks the Premier League has ever seen. Shocking manager. Sacked by Valencia after winning three out of 16 La Liga games.

CB: TONY ADAMS Adams claimed Arsene Wenger ‘could not coach his way out of a paper bag’. He was sacked after 16 games at Portsmouth and got Granada relegated.

CB: LOTHAR MATTHAUS Germany’s most capped player. Managed seven clubs in 10 years but complained he was never given a

chance in the Bundesliga. That was because he was rubbish.

LB: EDGAR DAVIDS A legend of Dutch football. Less successful player-manager of Barnet who he got relegated from the Football League.

RM: SIR BOBBY CHARLTON An icon of both England and Manchester United. He took Preston down in his first season.

CM: PAUL GASCOIGNE The most naturally gifted footballer of his generation. Not quite as a boss though. He took over Kettering but lasted 39 days before being sacked.

CM: DAVID PLATT Quit after six winless matches in charge of Sampdoria which led to the club’s first relegation in 17 years.

LM: JOHN BARNES Liverpool legend. Terrible manager. Sacked by Celtic and lasted 11 league games at Tranmere.

10: DIEGO MARADONA The one-time best player on the planet took charge of Argentina for a spell that ended in a 4-0 humiliation by Germany.

CF: ALAN SHEARER As a manager of Newcastle in 2009: eight games, one win, five points. Relegation. The record goalscorer has not managed since.

MANAGER: ALAN BALL Five out of the six clubs the 1966 World Cup winner managed ultimately got relegated.
