Sebastian Bassong Holds The Most Unwanted Record Of All Time

After spells at Newcastle, Metz, Wolves and most recently Norwich, 29-year-old Sebastian Bassong has suffered an outrageous SIX relegations in a decade.

Although the defender has made 16 appearances for Cameroon, he ticked another relegation off his list on Wednesday evening as Norwich will play Championship football next season under Alex Neil.

You may be thinking, how the f*ck did he manage to achieve such a magnificently awful record? Well, it takes some doing but Bassong has well and truly gelled with his good friend relegation.

In his first season at French side Metz in 2006, Bassong played 23 times but the side finished bottom of Ligue 1. The defender saw his side win just six games from 38 and Metz conceded 59 goals all season. ONCE.


Two years later in 2008, Bassong suffered yet another relegation with Metz as they won just five matches all season, gaining the title 'worst defence in the division.' TWICE.

Newcastle were his next victim after the Toon signed him back in 2008 for £500,000. His third season ended in another drop as the Geordies unexpectedly fell into the Championship. THREE TIMES.

Wolves then brought Bassong to the struggling Premier League side in 2012 but he couldn't help them avoid relegation. He joined on loan in January and shock, horror - Wolverhampton Wanderers were relegated. FOUR TIMES.

Bassong then left Tottenham for Norwich City in 2015 and to give him credit, the centre-back enjoyed a successful season, picking up the player of the season award but a season later, Norwich were relegated. FIVE.


And we all know about Bassong's most recent relegation with Norwich in 2016....

Six relegations in 10 years.
