Adrian Ilie, one-time Romanian striker. Wiki says he played for Galatasaray and Valencia among others. I just remember him from France 98.

- Alex Song - Of Arsenal and then Barca fame. Still playing at 35 of Arta/Solar 7 (yep. Me neither.
Just seen this, googled Arta/Solar 7 only to found out that Salomon Kalou also plays for them
Another blast from the past! What can you tell me about the club?!
Ilie was definitely a very talented second striker/wide forward. Maybe slightly undisciplined, but he had looked like he was going to start fulfilling his potential at Valencia, until injuries ruined the rest of his career.
Hugo Viana, supposedly a huge talent like a riquelme type
Faustino Asprilla. Can't believe he scored last night for Colombia.
That was a decent Boro side that. We beat them in 97 cup final [and 98 league cup], but both their disallowed goals were onside if i remember right. Think they were both headers - Memory has gotten terrible with ageCraig Hignett. Just been watching him on the 'under the cosh' podcast, some great stories from that Middlesbrough team with Ravenelli, Juninho, Gascoigne, Emerson
Romania’s peak was in mid 1990s, not so much turn of 21stC. We saw this in the 1994 World Cup starring Gheorge Hagi, Gica Popescu and Dumitrescu. They even knocked out Maradona’s Argentina in the way to the quarters or semis.Romania had a very good batch of players sometime around the turn of the century. Aside from Ilie, you have the likes of Chivu, Contra, Munteanu, Moldovan and Mutu to name a good few. None of them reached their full potential, however.
Kevin Mirallas - Belgian international winger that played for Everton, was a pretty good player on his day and caused us problems too once or twice.
Plays for AEL Limassol in Cyprus nowadays.
It was actually Yaser Asprilla (not related). He looks promising so far, hopefully he has the ethics of Falcao and not of James.Faustino Asprilla. Can't believe he scored last night for Colombia.

Ritchie De Laet, still playing for Antwerp, who have won all of their first 9 games this season.
Funny man. Joined my cf gym, shocking how bad his movement patterns were/arePascal Chimbonda
Plays for Wythenshawe Amateurs according to WikipediaDarron Gibson. 34 now. Signed for Salford, but was released right after when the pandemic hit. Resigned for the club the following season, but broke his leg early in the season and was released.
I find it strange how bad footballers are at the gym. Carragher and Redknapp are also horrible with their form.Funny man. Joined my cf gym, shocking how bad his movement patterns were/are
Now plays for a non league team in the over 40s
Ah, missed that. In the North West Counties League Division One South.Plays for Wythenshawe Amateurs according to Wikipedia
You’d think with being elite professionals they’d know better, or atleast someone at the club would know the benefit of having sound movement patterns and how it would reduce injuriesI find it strange how bad footballers are at the gym. Carragher and Redknapp are also horrible with their form.
