4. JONATHAN WOODGATE
Another Englishman in the list, is the defender Jonathan Woodgate who was plagued with injuries all through his career. As a youngster, Woodgate looked as the perfect centre-back that England needed. He started off at Leeds United and after a brief spell at Newcastle, came his dream move to Real Madrid. The transfer came as a shock to many since Woodgate was very often out of action due to injuries . In a span of two years at the Bernabeu, Woodgate managed to play only 14 times. He endured a frustrating time as his injuries reoccurred every now and then. Woodgate found some respite after his move to Spurs as he managed to find some game time and was not bothered by injuries. At 32, he is nearing the twilight of his career at Middlesbrough and hoping to end it in a more positive.
