Is there a more pointless professional athlete than Heather Watson?
Definitely Stuart Taylor. Professional footballer for 20 years, never injured but still hasn't made 100 career appearances. Played about 10 games this decade. Literally only signed to sit on the bench when everyone else is injured.
Part of the Arsenal Invincibles squad so he's nailed on to be a pub quiz question one day, if he isn't already.

Wtf Stuart Taylor was in the Invincibles squad, I did not even know he existed.
Also with Manchester City when they won the league in 2012, where his contribution to the team was equally pointless.
His wikipedia page list him as having 95 appearances in all competition thus far in his career. Martial has 82 for United.
I guess we mock the guy but perhaps he doesn't really like playing football and has just calculated he can earn good money at clubs where he's never expected to do anything. He's probably under little pressure performance wise, he finishes training at lunch time and heads home and probably gets paid £10k a week. If he actually played football he'd probably not earn anymore for a team he could be first choice, and would have a lot more stress.
