Top 10 one-season wonders in the Premier League

#9 Amr Zaki

The Egyptian paid heavily for his lack of professionalism

This little known Egyptian forward was signed on loan to Wigan Athletic with little fanfare. However, Zaki wowed the fans by scoring 10 goals in just 22 starts, including 5 before September.

However, Zaki was embroiled in controversy even before the end of his first season. After failing to return on time after an international break, he was frozen out of the team and Steve Bruce, then manager, labelled him "the most unprofessional player he had ever worked with".

Wigan decided not to extend his contract and that brought an end to a short and successful stint with Wigan. He couldn't recapture the form in following seasons and drifted out of the limelight. In August 2015, Zaki announced his retirement from football.
