Remember finding that 'goals goals goals' video a few years back. Showing my age here
Andy Sinton, England's answer to the left wing. Darren Caskey? David Hirst, MUFC bound if rumours were true at the time. Danny Cadamattari - another highly rated young England player in the making...
Matty Etherington
Kim Kallstrom, Fenedi George...they are all coming back into my head now
Matthew Etherington and Simon Davies were on trial from Peterborough United, Matthew Etherington is now Under 18 coach at Posh.

Eden Hazards brother - Thorgan Hazard. Literally no one gives a shit about him.

Just saw that Rene Krhin, that CM with long curvy hair who played for Mourinho at Inter, is a starter for Slovenia at 29.

Ryan Babel was great tonight. He shoulddye hisbeard pink too though.
Yuri Jerk Off just scored for Russia tonight. If you told me he retired 4 years ago I’d have said ‘fair enough’, so to see him scoring a competitive international goal tonight was strange!

Papa Bouba Diop.
Scored the winner v France in opening game of 2002 World cup and then had a couple of good seasons at Fulham before playing for loads of other prem clubs.

Dortmund gave a shit, hence why they signed him, had a good season last season too for Monchengladbach.
Lucas Piazon still employed by Chelsea?
Of course he is, only out on his 7th loan.
Who was that Russian that used to play for Arsenal???
Arshavin
David Bentley - the next David Beckham apparently, retired aged 29 in 2014.
Roman Pavlyuchenko
Alex Smertin
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
You know the one club that ALWAYS makes me go "oooh he's playing for them, I thought he just disappeared from the face of the earth"? Galatasaray.
Currently have Falcao, Ryan Babel, Fernando Muslera, Emre Mor, Younes Belhanda, Jean Michael Seri, Sofiane Feghouli, Yuto Nagatomo, Ryan Donk, Mario Lemina, Steven Nzonzi, and Florin Andone in their roster.

Yeah, the big Turkish clubs always have that a bit. Collecting players that were great 7-8 years ago.
Basaksehir for example right now have Gökhan Inler, Robinho, Gaël Clichy, Martin Skrtel, Demba Ba, Eljero Elia and Arda Turan.
Matthew Reddy of Sunderland started out scoring quickly, becoming a hero against Boro.
Had lots of injuries And loans. Looked a great young prospect. Ended up at Grimsby retiring at 27 from injuries to his hip

Mentioned Piazon a few weeks back. Thought he was 27-28 but only turned 25. He played one game for Chelsea in 2012 (not going to mention it....
). Since then on loan at Malaga, Vitesse, Frankfurt, Reading, Fulham in two spells, Chievo and now Rio Ave for the season.You wonder really what the Chelsea plan is with all these contract extensions given no one is going to bid 10-15m for him. Thought Fulham might've signed him last season as he was part of their squad that went up to premier league.
Chelsea long serving player now with Cahill leaving!

Emre Belözoğlu, he is somehow still going strong and still plays for his national team.
Fredi Kanoute
Pavel Pogrebnyak
app. still playing, for mighty Ural Yekaterinburg

I know he's not exactly a top professional compared to the elite players but it's insane to see a player who played for years in the Premier League (which is a very, very high level) be so farcically bad in training - he's only 31, and he's a striker! How is his touch so bad? Is he drunk?
He certainly left an impression wherever he went, but nothing permanent.
Just seen Goran Pandev still scoring and playing for (North) Macedonia.
He must be close to 40 now. Was a good player in Serie A.

Kerr has one hell of a wikipedia article! Still playing today at 37.
Hernanes who played for Lazio (and later for Inter & Juve).
Marco van Ginkel, somehow still a Chelsea player.
L. Damiao who was always linked with Tottenham, now plays in J1 league.
