1. Jonathan Woodgate
Woodgate was a talented English centre-half, words which so seldom appear together that even Real Madrid took notice. Los Blancos signed the already-injured defender, and predictably it was 13 months before Madridistas saw their new man in action.
After waiting over a year to play, Woodgate was desperate to impress. He didn't.
The centre-back headed into his own net in the first half, and then on 65 minutes was given his marching orders for a second yellow card.
