Timo Hildebrand is currently at Eintracht Frankfurt. When Kevin Trapp got badly injured (he won't be back before the winter break), Eintracht Frankfurt decided to go for Felix Wiedwald as current Nr.1, but they wanted an experienced keeper as backup for him, so Hildebrand got the call after his contract at Schalke ran out.

Hilderbrand is legit. Still remember that stint he had for Valencia. Not as awesome as he was then but I'll never forget his better days. Sad

^ He might still hold the record for minutes unbeaten in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart from the Magath era, though I'm not sure whether Neuer bettered it in the meantime - I'm sure RWO knows off the top of her head though.

LOL, RWO the walking GK Pokedex/Encyclopedia to fill us in, then. But yeah, Timo became my favorite German GK for a reason.

He still holds the Bundesliga record, I'm afraid. Manuel Neuer still has to surpass this in the Bundesliga. Neuer is better than him over all competitions, though.

I just stumbled over an article detailing Lucas Barrios' time after Borussia Dortmund.

Granted, it is BleacherReport, but it seems legit nonetheless: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2224439-lucas-barrios-career-crashing-and-burning-post-borussia-dortmund

Ok , i just saw a player's name on Facebook , which i thought retired by now . Arsenal's Diaby . The report said he got injured again , 37 times in his career actually.

Idk what to say .. does he even have a contract by now Laughing

by Robespierre Fri Nov 14, 2014 2:10 am

Morimoto

I had forgotten about him too
He was scrub but he scored always to Roma. He scored against Roma even with Novara kit lol

by McLewis Sat Nov 15, 2014 9:18 pm

Muriel had that same knack against us too, Robes Laughing

He'll be among this group of footballers soon enough if he doesn't shape up.

Oh and just thought of another one......Dmytro Chygrynskiy

Former Real Madrid and Roma right back. Brazil NT starter over Cafu.

CICINHO

Wilfried Zaha? hmm

Signed with great hype by United for £10m - potentially rising to £15m - and now has been loaned back to his old club, Crystal Palace, not really managing to start games there, either. He's 22 and you just feel his career is going downhill already. He's got three more years left in his United contract, though, so he should be well set no matter what.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:07 pm

Takashi Usami hmm

the highlight of his Bayern career was his first game for us, in the cup

Spoiler:

he's back in Japan, I guess

by Vibe Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:11 pm

Florent Malouda,can't even remember what he did after Chelsea.

by Art Morte Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:17 pm

He was sent to the Chelsea reserves, but that's where it stops for me. He used to be good. Better than Zaha, anyway.

by Vibe Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:19 pm

He had one or two amazing seasons IMO.

by farfan Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:28 pm

Malouda is captaining Metz in Ligue 1 this year .

he's also 34 and in the twilight of his career , not sure he fits in the " forgotten " players category .

by Vibe Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:34 pm

He fits because I forgot about him.

by urbaNRoots Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:57 pm

Edson Braafheid... just saw him in Lazio's team.

Bayern fans will remember him Laughing

by Hapless_Hans Sat Nov 29, 2014 9:15 pm

he's at Lazio?

Sure I remember him, Louis van Gaal's marquee signing Proud

Good lad, ended, like Usami, in the delinquent team of Hoffenheim after being loaned to them from us I think.

by Robespierre Sun Nov 13, 2016 8:38 am

Matija Nastasic

Yesterday I "met" him again , totally forgotten about him, every Serie A fan wanted him back in his team when he joined to City

by Hapless_Hans Sun Nov 13, 2016 10:27 am

He's at Schalke since 2015 but he was injured all last season right after joining (similarly to Coke this season and Aranguiz at bayer last season), torn Achilles tendon I think. He's been starting to feature for them now.
