Which players have been relegated from the Premier League the most times? | OneFootball

Aaron Ramsdale has claimed an unwanted hat-trick after Southampton’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed this weekend.

The England goalkeeper has been relegated from the Premier League for a third time, having also dropped into the second tier with Bournemouth (2019/20) and Sheffield United (2020/21).

It’s not a milestone that Ramsdale will be celebrating, but he still falls short of joining the players with the most-ever relegations on their résumé.

Here are the players to have been relegated from the Premier League the most times.

Nathan Blake – 5 relegations (1993/94, 1995/96, 1997/98, 1998/99, 2003/04)

Yo-yo clubs is a common term in the football lexicon but what about the yo-yo player?

Alongside three promotions, Nathan Blake shares the joint-record for the most Premier League relegations with five, coming across a 10-year period and with four different clubs. The Welshman first suffered relegation with Sheffield United in 1995, before two relegation campaigns with Bolton in 1996 and 1998. Further relegations arrived with Blackburn (1999) and Wolves (2004).

Astonishingly, Blake was relegated in back-to-back seasons with different clubs, twice!

Hermann Hreidarsson – 5 relegations (1997/98, 1999/00, 2001/02, 2006/07, 2009/10)

Hermann Hreidarsson holds the joint-record for the most relegations as a Premier League player, having dropped down a division five times.

Incredibly, Hreidarsson’s five relegations all came with different clubs and he was relegated with every side he represented in the Premier League.

Across his 332 appearances in England’s top division, Hreidarsson was relegated with Crystal Palace (1997/98), Wimbledon (1999/2000), Ipswich Town (2001/02), Charlton (2006/07) and Portsmouth (2009/10).

List of players relegated from the Premier League four times

Ramsdale will hope he never reaches the following list of players to have been relegated from the Premier League four times.

Former England goalkeeper Rob Green features after relegations with Norwich, West Ham and Queens Park Rangers. Marcus Bent, one of an exclusive group of players to have scored for six different Premier League teams, was also relegated four times during a nomadic career.
