Robert Pires (Aston Villa)

When we talk about legends of the game, the name Robert Pires will always appear. The French attacking midfielder was renowned for his on-the-ball trickery and played with such elegance.

He was a player way before his time, but many will have forgotten after his Arsenal days, he had a spell at Aston Villa.

Kasper Schmeichel (Manchester City)

Just like his father, Kasper Schmeichel also played for Manchester City. He challenged Joe Hart to the number 1 spot in 2007 but then lost his place to the former England number 1.

Schmeichel left Man City and made a move to Notts County and Leeds before eventually ending up at Leicester City where he won a Premier League and FA Cup.

Jerome Boateng (Manchester City)

Before his move to Bayern Munich where he went on to win many Bundesliga titles including a Champions League, Manchester City acquired his services.

He never lived up to expectations at Man City, not making regular appearances under Roberto Mancini so he was sold to Bayern Munich, he ended up having a very admirable career there.

He now plays for Ligue 1 side, Lyon.
