Hope this isn’t taken down with the new rules but I was curious if there’s any players who supported a certain club but never actually ended up playing for that team.
The example that springs to mind is Zidane with Marseille. 🩵
Any others?
Gareth Bale? Never played for cardiff
Almost all brazilian players you can think of.
John Charles
Adam Johnson and Kidderminster
Messi, Stoke City
Lad grew up dreaming of those rainy Monday nights, such a tragedy.
Roy Keane was a Spurs fan
Harry Kane and Arsenal.
Rivaldo
George Best. Was a Glentoran fan but never played for them.
Robbie Keane…🤣
Marcelo and Botafogo
Messi - Newell’s Old Boys
Aubameyang to Real Madrid.
Jamie carragher and Robbie fowler were both childhood Everton fans
Paul Scholes was rumoured to be an Oldham fan. He denied it. Nicky Butt was rumoured to support City. Giggs grew up a Cardiff fan. Joey Barton supported Everton. Leighton Baines supported Liverpool. Danny Welbeck was an Arsenal and United fan though he played for them both in the end. Ravel Morrison was and still is a Gooner. I think Bale supported United. Rio Ferdinand supported Liverpool. David May was a City fan. Kenny Dalglish supported Rangers. Fowler, Mcmanaman, Owen and Carragher supported Everton. Luke Shaw supported Chelsea. Jadon Sancho supported Chelsea. Wan Bissaka was Arsenal I think, not sure on that.
