Was absolutely brilliant for a period at Chelsea. He has recently signed for a club in the Luxembourg league.Florent Malouda.
He seemed to be doing alright at Chelsea then just dropped off the face of the earth
He was all set for Liverpool but Chelsea jumped in at the last moment. Always thought he would have done the business at LiverpoolFlorent Malouda.

EDIT:
I think he was even Chelsea's top scorer for a season.
Surely he's not still at Everton?James McCarthy. Loved him during the Martinez era. Forgot he still played for us.
He is indeed.Surely he's not still at Everton?
Marco Boogers. Got sent off a couple of minutes after coming on at Old Trafford in his second appearance although the caravan thing is apparently a myth.Who was that West Ham player they bought for sinficant money in the 90's who turned out to be awful?, there was a myth that after getting subbed in a game for being crap, he went AWOL and was discovered months later living as a gypsy on a caravan site.
Caravan myth
During his convalescence in the Netherlands, The Sun newspaper ran an article claiming Boogers was depressed and had been found on a mobile home site in the Netherlands. Bill Prosser, who worked as West Ham United's PA and travel arranger at the time, disputed this claim, explaining to The Guardian's "The Fiver":
Marco was depressed after being sent off in his second appearance for West Ham at Old Trafford and disappeared for a few days. West Ham's Clubcall reporter phoned me and said he was trying to find Boogers for an interview but could not reach him. He asked if I had booked any flights for him. I told him I hadn't, but added: 'If he has gone back to Holland, he's probably gone by car again'. The reporter misheard me and stated on Clubcall that I had said 'If he's gone back to Holland, he's probably gone to his caravan'. As you know, journalists often listen to Clubcall. Which explains why, the following day, the back page headline in the Sun was: 'Barmy Boogers Living in a Caravan'. The legend endures and Marco Boogers never played for West Ham again. I feel a bit responsible for his misfortune".
That's the one, cheers it's been doing my head in. I remember having loads of pro-match cards with him on, but couldn't remember the name. I love it when rumours like this but become the defining legacy of a man despite being completely made up, I suspect sadly in 10 years time when people ask does anyone remember Bobby Madley he's going to be remembered for something completely humiliating that never happened. A bit like the guy from soft-cell.Marco Boogers. Got sent off a couple of minutes after coming on at Old Trafford in his second appearance although the caravan thing is apparently a myth.

Saw that today. Absolutely crazy isn't itTomas Repka - been jailed for posting ads advertising his ex-wife as a prostitute.
An Abu-Dhabi club, Al-Whadi.Denilson that played for arsenal, just seemed to disappear completely. Anyone idea where he ended up?
Ah cheers, always thought he was highly rated as a youngster.An Abu-Dhabi club, Al-Whadi.
Looking at Wikipedia, he hasn't played much for them. He hasn't played much football at all since he left. He's gone back and forth between Brazil and Abu-Dhabi since leaving us.
His brother was earning double what he was in the MLS.Shaun Wright Philips plays for Phoenix Rising F.C. in the US second tier.
Was a good player at City and earned a big money move to Chelsea but his career completely fizzled out into nothing it seems. 36 England caps 6 goals too.
Yes but is not part of Tuchels plans and has been training alone. Reports suggest he will be on the move to new La Liga side SD Huesca by the end of the transfer window.Jese rodriguez.
Is he still at PSG?
He is, but read that he was excluded from the pre-season tour and is training away from 1st teamJese rodriguez.
Is he still at PSG?
He is one of the best midfielders of Serie A in the last two seasons. Yes, he had a very long term injury who just kept coming back, but seems to be OK now.What about Kevin Strootman?
He went back to play for Sao Paulo. Then went to play in U.A.E.Denilson that played for arsenal, just seemed to disappear completely. Anyone idea where he ended up?
I had to Wikipedia him just to see what happened to his career. Turns out that injury kept him out for just over a month, people make out like he was out for 12 months.What classical Mechanic said. Generally, he was highly rated by those who didn't watch youth/reserve games, mainly because of his exotic name and heritage. In actual fact, he was bang average, could only pass the ball sideways and was no better than the likes of Matty James.
People point to that injury as to why he didn't make it, when in actual fact, he just wasn't that good to begin with.
