This is correct
Love a Glen Johnson sighting
Still some fun names left. Some wonder kids that didn’t hit their ceiling and some journeymen (which is probably why they went to Stoke. One player is still active

Three spots, but two names left. One of the names did it for multiple teams. The other one is the player who is still active

Was 2015-16 the year Michael Owen played 8 games for stoke
Was Madrid the fourth semi finalist in 2005?
He would've been on the Man U finalist team in 2011...
EDIT: nope he played for Stoke in 2012-13. Nuts

Zidane and Platini previously, right.? And since Kolo Muani was the only scorer yesterday, I guess it's him too.

Must admit I didn't remember this at all.
The German players transfer record fees during the last 40 years:
1984: K-H Rummenigge Bayern to Inter Milan 5.5M
1989: Klinsmann Stuttgart to Inter 6.5M
1990: T.Hassler Köln to Juventus 7.8M
And then there was a guy 8 years later who broke that record by a large margin. This player isn't remembered all that much, and his transfer was not to a massive club. Weird amount in retrospect.
Who is this guy?
His german transfer record fee lasted almost 10 years before it was broken by Miroslav Klose's transfer from W.Bremen to B.Munchen.
Current record is Havertz with 80M €.

There were a handful of prospective German superstars in that period who did not reach stardom… is it Deisler? I think he transferred around then

I guess there's some resemblance.
I bet not many have who weren't following football at that time.
