Cwm Albion FC racked up a -191 goal difference last season.

They lost one away match 25-0, followed by a 21-1 home whipping.

Goalie Jamie MacDonald has never had a clean sheet in ten years with the club while midfielder John Rees is 73.

Winger Shane Prior admits he has “legs like Bambi”.

Holding midfielder Paul DiMarco is said to have a nosebleed if he goes too high up the pitch.

But despite sinking to the lowest ebb in their 100 years, the players remain fully committed.

Larger-than-life boss Dan Gill said: “Despite the knockbacks, each week we turn up and put our hearts into every game, and we lost 10-nil the other day so that says a lot.

“I’ve been involved since I was 16 and my dad, Colin, has been part of Cwm Albion for more than 50 years. We really are a family.”

The team, which also features two dad-and-son combos, have lost all five games this season in the Swansea Senior League.

They were crowned Britain’s Best Worst Team by Specsavers — winning a training session with a ­former Premier League star.

Specsavers’ Lisa Hale said: “It’s obvious how passionate Cwm Albion are. Hopefully, with our support, they’ll soon have a win to celebrate.”
