5 of the worst goalkeepers to have played in the Premier League

#3 Adam Bogdan (Bolton Wanderers, Liverpool)

Adam Bogdan's Liverpool tenure was a bonafide disaster

Most of the goalkeepers on this list gained infamy for their appearances for a single Premier League club, but Hungary’s Adam Bogdan was terrible for two sides. After making a handful of appearances for Bolton Wanderers after signing for them in the summer of 2007, Bogdan took over as the Trotters’ #1 for a couple of stretches in 2011/12 when Jussi Jaaskelainen suffered some injuries.

He subsequently let in 5 goals against Chelsea, and even conceded a 102-yard goal from opposing keeper Tim Howard during a game against Everton, ending the season with 20 Premier League appearances as Bolton were relegated.

The following seasons saw him lose his place at the Reebok Stadium – making it truly baffling when Brendan Rodgers brought him to Liverpool in the summer of 2015 as a backup to Simon Mignolet.

The Hungarian made his Liverpool debut in the EFL Cup a few months later, but his Premier League debut, in a match against Watford, was saved until after Rodgers had been fired and replaced by Jurgen Klopp. And to say it was shockingly bad would be an understatement; Bogdan dropped a corner after just 3 minutes to allow Nathan Ake to score, and had an absolute stinker as the Hornets ran out 3-0 winners.

Bogdan only played in one more Premier League game for Liverpool – but added more notoriety to his name when he conceded direct from a corner in an FA Cup game against Exeter City. Unsurprisingly, he was jettisoned to Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2016.
