The Championship (record signing) table includes some big names from down the years, including Emile Heskey (twice), Andy Cole and Craig Bellamy.

The Senegal winger was unable to help his country stop England in their pursuit of World Cup glory in Qatar. But he is too good for the Championship and is one of the league’s most valuable stars.Despite being lauded as a youngster at Liverpool, Brewster’s career has not panned out as well as many hoped. Five goals in 64 Sheffield United appearances is, and this is the technical term, pretty sh*t.

Rafael Benitez’s personal favourite striker has been pretty dire for Everton in recent years. Still, he was actually decent in the Premier League for West Brom and latterly while on loan at Newcastle United.The Tottenham academy product joined Premier League rivals Hull City for more game time in 2016.

He showed his class in flashes but he jumped ship and joined Inter Milan at the end of Cardiff’s one-season tenure in the Premier League.Cole was recruited after the Englishman fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford in 2001. Upon leaving Coventry to get his desired move to Newcastle, Bellamy said: “I never once enjoyed it at Coventry. I felt quite demoralised. I had enjoyed myself so much at Norwich – but I found I had taken a backward step.” Sheesh.The centre-back was another victim of Chelsea’s apparent kink of hoarding young players but he was freed back in 2019.
