A horrible tackle, a dreadful clearance or an open miss goal are all pretty damaging when watched by a football fan. How about a passage of play with all of the above?

Each supporter will hold onto their own particular miserable memory in football, which they would like to delete from their hard-drive.

However, from a more objective point of view, the 20-second passage of play between QPR and Manchester City in 1993 has now been voted the worst in the history of the game.

The video collects a series of clumsy misfortunes which ultimately ends in an open goal being inexplicably missed before the ball bounces mercifully wide. Truly, 20 seconds of 'the beautiful game'.
