Although far from Europe's top leagues, Scottish outfit Fort William were dubbed the UK's "worst professional football team" during a run of 73 games without a win in all competitions. In 2015 they dropped down into the amateur ranks and are these days to be found plying their trade in the regional leagues. In fact their fate was sealed in record quick time, with seven games of the campaign remaining, and they finished 15 points adrift at the foot of the table. By the time they won again, they had already been relegated. However that was followed by a miserable sequence of 23 games without tasting another win. They lost their first eight games in Ligue 1, eventually recording their maiden victory in early November. Arles-Avignon "enjoyed" a single season in France's top flight in 2010/11. Needless to say they finished bottom.Īrles-Avignon: 23 Ligue 1 matches (2010/11)
The club from just north of Milan, near the shores of Lake Maggiore, went almost the entire campaign without a victory before breaking their duck in the penultimate round of matches. Their run matches that of Varese, whose "achievement" in going 28 matches without a win was arguably even more impressive as it came in a 30-game season, in a 16-team league, in 1971-72. They mustered 13 points over the whole season, which fittingly ended in bankruptcy and relegation to the Italian fourth tier. Ancona failed to win a single Serie A game between September 2003 and April 2004, although they did at least manage seven draws in their 28-match winless run. Like Derby, they were relegated in March, becoming the first La Liga side to have their fate sealed before April.Īncona: 28 Serie A matches (2003/04) Varese: 28 Serie A matches (1971/72) They finished bottom of the Spanish top flight with a La Liga record-breaking 13 points, although they did at least win two games after finally snapping the streak on February 8, 1998. Sporting set several records in the 1997/98 La Liga season, including the longest winless run of 24 games, although that spanned two terms. Sporting Gijon: 24 La Liga matches (1997/98)
