- Start date
If you are wondering whatever happened to some obscure average nonentity of a footballer, just put Talksport on for half an hour, and he’ll probably turn up. And Talksport will make him sound like Maradonna.
Muzzy Izzet
Marcus Tudgay
Cobi Jones. Was vital to the US team in the 90's during which he won 164 caps.
Coventry, yes.
Ramires
Rob Jones was once regarded as one of the most promising talented right back England had produced then was ruined with injuries.

a rare sight of Andrade actually playing for Juventus
Odegaard
Just reminded me of ex Blackburn midfielder Tugay
I saw someone on here mention Anderson the other day and I must admit, I had completely forgotten about him. Does he still play?
Free agent. Last played in 2017
Funny you mention him as I was googling man utd south American players as an article only mentioned the obvious and I knew who I was thinking of but for the love of me couldn't think of his name other than it started with a v
Andrade was hired to be a 3rd/4th choice center back. He was one of Europe top center backs before he got injuries after injuries and Juventus made a small gamble (I think they hired him for less than 10M or so) and was no surprise that he retired after the Juventus stint.
I forgotten about Mark Bosnich and looked him up to learn that he was a Manchester United player between 1989-1991
Hatem bin arfa, fabio coentrao,
And 1999-2001 (unless you'd remembered that stint)
Gourcuff - Saw him last year for Rennes and he still looked like one of the most gifted footballers I've ever seen. Has such a unique way of manipulating a football.
One of those players that never seems to age. I think he was 30 when I saw him.
I was so excited when he went to join Kaka at Milan. I thought they were going to tear Europe apart together... Nope.

That game reminds me of Afonso Alves who scored a hat trick in the same game. Scored 2 against us in the same season as well if I remember correctly.Jérémie Aliadière

Javier Saviola
Pablo Aimar
Des Walker
David Batty
Ibrahim Ba

Corluka. Couldn’t believe he’s only 32.
Martin Ødegaard
Fabio Grosso
Adriano Leite Ribeiro
One of the very best during his (short) prime with Parma and Inter. He also score 27 goals in 48 games for Brazil.

Vedran Corluka: remember him when he played for city a while back. 32 yrs old (thought he'd be at least 40). Squad player for Croatia and he's actually taken part in 3 games in WC so far. Never rated him.
Gives me a glimmer of hope in the semis. Hope they play him!

Carlos Vela. Arsenal fans used to rave about him.
Alot of Newcastle players Demba Ba, Papis Cisse, Obafemi Martins (all in China after googling)
Bruno Martins Indi
That guy was a bit special.
2 miss 3 penalties in 1 game puts him on another level.
And best of all....I don't even remember the guys name!
