What a career he could have had if he wasn’t always injured

He was one of the best players on the pitch that night in Moscow

The crazy Danish midfielder for RM. He was Danish, Finnish. Tiny, squat, tremendously combative.

I'll google his name.

Can't find him, yet.

GRAVESEN!

He was a beast at Everton

Every goal he scored was a golazo

Not my favorite club, but it's always Jimmy Glass at Carlisle United. Appeared as goalkeeper in only 3 matches in 1999 for Carlisle as he was on loan from Swindon Town. On the final day of the 1998-1999 season, Carlisle need to beat Plymouth Argyle to avoid being relegated out of the Football League. It's 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes and injury time. Then this happens:

Carlisle win 2-1 and manage to stay in the Football League, thus relegating Scarborough FC, who never recovered and were wound up less than a decade later. No crazier story than a club-saving goal being made by an on-loan goalie from Swindon.

Not a Union fan, but Rais M’bohli had a bizarre and hilarious tenure in MLS with the Philadelphia Union.

They went through a lot of trouble to get him after his great performance for Algeria in the 2014 World Cup. He immediately had a bad performance where he gave up some cheap goals against the Chicago Fire to lose an important game. Then he had a meltdown from being homesick and refused to train or play any more.

Pretty sure he was a DP signing, too.
