10 worst teams in world football history

England did not even qualify for the Euro 2008

#1 Longford AFC 2015-2016

Former England defender Stuart Pearce turned out for Longford in a bid to help put a stop to their embarrassing defeats

Dubbed the worst team in England after their atrocious 2015-2016 season went down in footballing folklore, Longford had lost their entire squad and manager during the summer transfer window and thus had to play their reserve side for the rest of the season. The side went on to put on an absolutely horrible show, and just halfway through the season, they had a total of zero points and had seen 170 goals scored against them in the process.

Things became so bad that a 5-0 scoreline was something to look forward to, as the team became used to losing by double figures nearly every other game. It soon went from bad to worse for the team, as 53-year-old England legend Stuart Pearce signed for them on a one match deal, in order to help the club in their effort to get their first win of the season.

The former West Ham defender had to wait over a month to make his debut, but when he did, the club managed to lose the game by only one goal, but that was as good as it was going get for Longford. They finished the season with 30 losses out of 30 and had a goal difference of minus 216 before they were relegated.
