14. Peter Enckleman
Finnish international goalkeeper Peter Enckleman came to the Premier League in 1999 when he joined Aston Villa. When David James left the club he was momentarily the club’s first choice, before Peter Schmeichel was brought in, but was handed a second chance when Schmeichel headed to Man City after a single season. One of his first starts came in Villa’s biggest rivalry, with Birmingham City. Enckleman took his eye off the ball from a through in by Olof Melberg resulting in an own goal. He played a total of 52 games for Villa and two for Blackburn in the Premier League, but was always remembered for his embarrassing mistake in a local derby.
