10 of the craziest Premier League facts: Part 2

#7 Playing for two relegated sides in the same season

Boyd would have been relegated even if he had chosen to stay with Hull City

George Boyd started the 2014/15 season with Hull City, before shifting to the Burnley on deadline day. The winger’s first season at Burnley did not go according to plan, as the Clarets were relegated at the end of the season.

This list includes Steve Kabba (Sheffield United and Watford during the 2006/07 season), David Nugent (Burnley and Portsmouth in the 2009/10 season) and Mark Robins (Norwich and Leicester during the 1994/95 campaign) as the three other players to have been relegated twice in the same season.
