Titus Bramble has been often described as an insult to the premiership and probably the worst defender the premier league has every seen.
He is known to be error prone and has a habit of scoring own goals
Titus Bramble has played for clubs including Ipswich, Newcastle, Wigan and currently Sunderland.
Most Goal keepers who have Bramble in their front as a centre defender always have to be on their toes because they are not only keeping the opposition strikers out but also Titus Bramble because he can strike at anytime and when he does he strikes with great accuracy and technique.
Titus Malachi Bramble is an English footballer who plays for Sunderland as a defender.
Born in Ipswich Suffolks. Bramble started his carrer at Ipswich town and made his debut in the 1998/1999 season. He went on to make a total of 48 apperances for the club, before being sold to Newcastle for £6million.
Bramble joined Newcastle in july 2002 vowing at the time to make himself indispensable to the then manager Sir Bobby Robson. But at the end of the 2003/2004 season Bramble was voted the Premiership Worst player byreaders of the football e-mail newsletter The Fiver.
After scoring a couple of own goals Bramble was sold to Wigan on a free transfer.
Bramble signed for Wigan Athletic on a free transfer, agreeing to a three-year-deal on 4 June 2007. On 2 January 2008, Bramble scored a memorable goal at Anfield in a 1–1 draw against Liverpool – a 20-yard strike handing Wigan a late equaliser.
Bramble scored a dramatic equaliser against Newcastle United at St. James' Park, the match finishing in a 2–2 draw on 15 November 2008. Bramble has expressed his gratitude to Wigan manager Steve Bruce for having faith in him when no one else did and for making him the player he is today. His performances throughout the 2008–09 season picked him up four awards at the club's awards night, including 'Player of the Year' and 'Player's Player of the Year' for Wigan. On 14 July 2009, he was rewarded with a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2010.
On 23 July 2010, Bramble joined Sunderland for a fee believed to be £1 million, and signed a three-year contract at the Stadium of Light, joining former manager at Wigan Steve Bruce. He was labelled as a 'bargain' by many football pundits after his transfer to Sunderland, this has been backed up by his performances early on in the 2010–11 season. Bramble was sent off in the Tyne–Wear derby against former club Newcastle on 31 October 2010, as Sunderland went on to lose 5–1. However, Bramble bounced back with a fine performance in Sunderland's 3–0 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 14 November. Injuries affected the rest of Bramble's season. He scored his first Sunderland goal against Stoke City on 18 September 2011.
Bramble who is still at Sunderland with the arrival of Martin O'Neil is still battling to cement a first team place, but he needs to put up a series of good performances in other to do that.
Bramble has no doubt been one of the defenders who have actually helped in making the Premiership what it is, and giving fans something to laugh about and sometimes something to cry about especially for the fans of teams in which he plays for.
