Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be documenting the winners of the CollinsBeans Awards 2011 – one of the most sought-after football decorations around…

And to get proceeding underway, we give you our ‘Worst Team of the Season 2010/11’. Rather than start with the winners and success stories of the last 10 months, we’re kicking off by setting the bar low. Very, very low when it comes to a certain Gary Neville…

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks for several clubs end of season reviews, told by those who really experience it – the fans.

Edition One stars CollinsBeans co-founder Mr James Platt and the club that started out last September as the country’s reigning league champions, yet ended it emulating the US X-Factor with a high profile sacking of a former darling...
