Tyler Blackett.
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov
Agree with this one, vaguely remember he played for Spurs.
Agreed, know he is a right back who played for Arsenal but couldn't pick him out from a lineup and wouldn't have come to mind if someone asked me to name Arsenal rightbacks.
Disagree with this one. It might be true for most football fans, but as a United supporter, clearly remember LVG playing him.
Name does not even ring a small bell.
Perfect for the thread then. He played for Everton for 3 seasons.
Good one!
I know he's real, I know he exists but I have no idea what he even looks like
Sorry - everytime this thread pops up I post "Tyler Blackett" because he cropped up every page in the thread. It amuses me but I should stop it really.
But, yes, I can't forget him.
Just remembered Fernando Couto. No idea why.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Really liked him as a player too

For some reason he reminds me of his Everton team mate and fellow owner of an unnecessarily complicated last name, Denis Stracqualursi.
Could not have pulled that name out of my brain if you had a gun to my head but as soon as I read it I was like "Yep."
you were naked and one thing lead to another. it happens.
Aye, he was deep in the recesses of the wank bank.
The Football Manger legend that was Andres D'Alessandro, loved him in the game and he was decent at Portsmouth.
Wow now this is someone I've not heard about for a very long time even before his death in 2017 which also came as a shock to me. Thanks or sharing.
He was an absolutely brilliant modern defender
Yohan Cabaye!
Boaz Myhill.
Great shout! Touted like the next big thing.
Was really good for Newcastle in 2011/12.
That I think I knew, but totally forgot and it's shocking all again.
Piotr Świerczewski. Remember him? Steve Bruce I think signed him and he played one game total for Birmingham I think
I get the same feeling every time it's mentioned. Very good player. I was gutted when he joined Arsenal after seeing him at Sevilla tearing Real Madrid apart
Doubt even he remembers that let alone anyone else...
Tomas Ujfalusi
Played for River plate right?
Davide Santon
Donny VdB. Saw today that he's still on our books. I'd completely forgotten about him.
And while I write this, Raphael Van der Vaat. Top player back when

Eliaquim Mangala
Ricardo Rodriguez
Goran Pandev. Saw his name randomly on Facebook.
Benito Carboni
There's one video with him that's legendary in Poland. After retiring he got into coaching, so while he was a manager at one of the Polish clubs they invited him to the TV channel where he started bragging about his tactical acumen, how much he has learned about modern football while playing and studying in France, how developed his connections are in the world of football ("I could make a call to Avram Grant or Arsene Wenger any minute and ask them for opinions") and how much of a modern manager he is, only to be confronted with a video compilation of him shouting instructions from the side-line including "just lump it forward!" and stuff like "we just need to be more chaotic". Hilarious really
The Bender brothers (Sven & Lars Bender).
Someone also mentioned Gourcuff yesterday during the France game, some talent he was
Adel Taarabt
It probably has been said before, but this thread would get a lot more interesting if you would not randomly post a name but what actually remembered you of someones existence.
Mason Mount. I genuinely forgot he played for us until I saw his name mentioned in the Ugarte thread.
Madness.
