Players you had forgotten existed

[MikeKing]

Ryan Gauld. Scottish Messi. He is 23 years now.

 

[ForeverRoma93]

Arda Turan

 

[Tomuś]

Alexander Buttner
Vlad Chiriches
Arbeloa

The scorer of the ugliest solo goal ever. Always felt some sympathy for him for some reasons.

 

[Tomuś]

Amr Zaki. The ultimate one season wonder. Or half a season maybe.

 

[Bole Top]

F. Cavenaghi, FM 2005 legend.

 

[red4ever 79]

Sanchez

 

[Hughes35]

Just mentioned him in another thread as he weirdly came to mind...... Daniel Nardiello.

 

[FootballHQ]

Where is Tom Thorpe now? Remember he was highly rated CB 5-6 years ago but never got much chance even under LVG and his loans weren't much success.

 

[JJ12]

Scott Wooton

 

[André Dominguez]

Terry Cooke: old CM legend back in the days.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Terry Cooke: old CM legend back in the days.

Played on loan at City and did quite well in the latter stages of 98-99.

He was then given a Full Contract, but following rumours, and a mysterious omission, immediately prior to a League Cup game at Southampton, he promptly walked through a wardrobe, and entered Narnia.

 

[FootballHQ]

Just seen Subotic signed for Union Berlin, still only 30.

What happened to him? Was massively rated at Dortmund in the spell under Klopp when they won two Bundesligas and made CL final, he was a regular in those seasons. Usual link to european giants around that time, injuries or just not that good?

 

[Luke1995]

Carlton Cole

 

[Chipper]

Aleksandr Mostovoi - read an article asking who was Celta Vigo's best ever player, him or Aspas? Aspas won the poll.

 

[galwayfa]

Antonio Cassano
Cristian Vieri
Winston Bogarde

Cristian Vieri, really, one of the best striker's of the 90s and rode every Italian model on the way

 

[Karel Podolsky]

Cristian Vieri, really, one of the best striker's of the 90s and rode every Italian model on the way

Still couldn't beat Pagliuca's record.

 

[Eleven-Eighteen]

Paul Pogba

 

[IrishRick]

H

Mark Viduka. Powerful striker who scored lots of goals.

They are a Croatian background team, and Viduka came through their ranks. Think he has a Croatian background as well.

e

Ya Viduka has Croatian roots. Luka Modric is his cousin

 

[VorZakone]

Lewis Holtby

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Kevin Phillips,still the only English player to win the Golden Shoe.

 

[Ramos]

Hedwiges Maduro
Royston Drenthe

 

[devilish]

I keep forgetting about Fred. It's weird but he literally don't exist in my books. I have to be reminded that we still have him on our books at least 3 times.

 

[Shakesy]

I forgot Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink existed today. Then I remembered him again and wanted a thread to use his name in. This one appeared and now he's been named. As a result I hope a few here will silently recall a few of those thunderous goals of his.

As you were.

 

[Bole Top]

Bonaventura Kalou (actually managed to become a mayor of some city in Ivory Coast)
Erick Carriere

 

[Old Ma Crow]

Mido
Yeboah
Anelka

 

[FootballHQ]

Bonaventura Kalou (actually managed to become a mayor of some city in Ivory Coast)
Erick Carriere

Always used to confuse the older Kalou brother with Mohammed Kallon. He was squad player at Inter Milan for many years and was finally let go and had decent season or two at Monaco.

 

[Jacob]

Mark Kerr

 

[Karel Podolsky]

I was really shocked to find out Kallon is just 39 years old!

 

[FootballHQ]

Just been talking about a previous Wolves-Villa game on a Villa forum and I mentioned Emmanuel Frimpong. What the chuff happened to him?

Got a few starts for Arsenal in 2011 and then had some decent games on loan at Wolves and then just disappeared. I remember him ending up in Russia of all places.

Surprised he didn't just have a solid career in championship, lower end of premier league. Probably not even 30 yet.

He became a good meme to be fair. “You’ve been frimponged”. He’ll be remembered a fair bit more than others that have come through arsenal ranks in recent years.

 

[Acrobat7]

Andre Schürrle.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

Abou Diaby

Hell of a player on his day when fit. Which was almost never.

 

[VeevaVee]

Micah Richards. Just retired.

 

[paraguayo]

Frimpong

 

[FootballHQ]

Nelson Haedo Valdez.

 

[AceUnited]

Alexis Sanchez . I believe he retired a few years ago.

 

[Casanova85]

Recoba.

 

[Karel Podolsky]

Yildiray Baştürk (now 40 years old).

 

[United58]

I forgot all about Dalot until I saw a picture of him on Reddit in our 1995 away kit.

Someone mentioned we lack depth at RB and I thought of Young and Fosu-Mensah but not Dalot.

 

[Macern]

Dirk Kuyt
