He missed like half the matches after attempting to split McBride's head in half.
Greatest players never to win a club trophy
- Thread starter 1966
- Start date
I was about to say Steven Gerrard but then realized that the title says "greatest players".
Paul Mcgrath
Angel Gomes
Le Tissier? He is like Cantona for Southampton, minus all the trophies.
Probably Kane? But he still have many years ahead to win something for his club.

Tim Cahill came up in one search.
Another search yielded Socrates on a list having never won a major trophy.

Harry Gregg
You mean the same guy who is the only player to score in an FA Cup final, Uefa Cup final, Champion's league final, and a League Cup final and winning in each one?
^^
Nice one!

A good player never to win anything: Kane
A good player never to win the League: Gerrard

Batistuta won almost nothing... for a player of his calibre it's quite astonishing
Coppa Italia once with Viola and Serie A once with Roma

Griezmann
Giuseppe Signori. Brilliant player, never won anything with Lazio.
Gylfi Siggurdson has been a quality player for almost a decade and never won anything.
Jermain Defoe's 8th all-time in Premier League goals and only has a single League Cup to his name.

Okay, but apart from two FA cups, three League Cups, the Champions League, the Uefa Cup, and a Super Cup, what's Gerrard ever won, eh!?
De Rossi played in 3/7 games at the World Cup. He didn’t play in the other four because of a red card suspension after a vicious elbow to an opponent’s face.
Can we do a thread for the other way around? Terrible players who’ve won more than they should’ve. United must have a few from the Ferguson years.
Lovren just won the Premier League and Champions League within a 12 month period.

Totti won a league and two cups. Considering his talent and his longevity that's pretty pitiful.
David May, superstar, got more medals than Shearer!
Jude Bellingham maybe? He’s got to be one of the youngest players to have his number retired.
No I was talking about the guy who said “we can’t let this slip” and then he fecking slipped.
Kingsley Coman, Benjamin Mendy ...
Still doesn’t make sense in this thread.
So the thread is about greatest players who have never won any cups or anything. So what is the point you’re trying to make again?
The only major trophy that Hasselbaink won in his career was the Portuguese Cup with Boavista in 1997. He came on as a late substitute in the final against Benfica.
His goal scoring record in the Premier League against United, Arsenal and Liverpool with Leeds, Chelsea and Middlesbrough was very good, and include highlight reel screamers against all of them. During his season in La Liga with a Atleti team that was relegated he also scored plenty including goals against all of the heavyweights; Real, Barca, Depor and Valencia.

"Greatest players never to win a club trophy"
Having done some quick research, it has to be Harry Kane
...the reason being, he is the only World Cup golden boot winner, who has never won a trophy at club level.

Kane and Griezmann surely. Not that I've ever really rated Griezzman. Can never figure out the amount of z's and n's in his name. Twat.
I always had a softspot for Di Natale as well. Never won anything either I think.

Far from great players.
Did hasselbaink ever win anything?
Griezmann won Europa League with Atletico didn't he?
I thought Aubameyang hadn’t won anything, but apparently he did win a few cups in Germany and France.
Ah right, he did.
Icardi before this season
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is one that stands out to me because he was always playing for teams that could compete for trophies and he always did his part, but never won anything. Think he was still getting runners up medals by the time he was winding down his career at Cardiff because I'm sure he was still around when they played Portsmouth in the FA Cup. He happened to arrive at Chelsea right in between their 90s cup team era and Mourinho coming in, a year or two in either direction he'd at least have got something.
Jay Jay Okocha
- won a Super Cup each in France and Turkey as well as the Intertoto cup, but that's about it on club level. 96 olympics of course with Nigeria.
Marcelo Bordon
- 300 odd Bundesliga games for good Stuttgart and Schalke teams, hugely underrated. Won the Intertoto cup trice and Copa America once with Brazil.
Marcos Senna
- Won 1 brazilian Serie A, absolutely nothing for such a great. Brilliant for Villarreal with Forlan, Capdevila and Riquelme. Made team of the tournament and was the starting CM/CDM together with Xavi when Spain won the 2008 Euros. Moved Iniesta and David Silva to the wing and benched Xabi Alonso, Santi Cazorla and Fabregas.

Ciro Immobile has won nothing apart from a couple of Supercups and the Italian FA Cup. He's about to be the top scorer in Serie A this season, with 123 goals in 176 appearances since he joined Lazio.
Great shout. Baines was a very good player. I was shocked to see him retire the other day but then I realised he's 35.
Years have flew by I remember wanting him back in the Moyes days.Too many players who've won club trophies on this thread.
So, top players who genuinely didn't win anything listed so far
Tom Finney
Harry Kane
Le Tissier
Bernd Schneider
Guiseppe Signori
Son Heung-min
Leighton Baines
Not sure if they can be called great, but Jermaine Defoe and Stan Collymore never won anything either.
