7 World Class Footballers Who Were TERRIBLE At One Club

From Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger, who struggled at Manchester United, to Premier League icon Rio Ferdinand, who endured a horrible season at Queens Park Rangers, HITC Sevens takes a look at a number of football legends who were terrible for just one club.

Suggestion: a top 7 list with no introduction, we have to figure out what the topic of the list is.

Fulham managing to sign Van Der Sar was an absolute coup but I hadn't realised his time at Juve was so poor.
He was easily one of my favourite goalkeepers during the '90s and 2000s.

Here's a good idea for a video, that kinda came from this: "world class" players that went to lesser leagues and got embarrassed. You even mentioned a few of the possible candidates in the video. You could do also a sort of up/down video, where after every humiliation comes a player who left Europe for the big check, then owned that league, decided to go back to Europe and went right back to being a world-class player again.

Another thing that happened with Adelaide the season that Romario played was that although they made the A-League Grand Final that season, they ended up losing 6-0 where Archie Thompson (the same Archie Thompson that scored 13 goals against American Samoa) scored 5 goals in it.

Holy shit - I'd forgotten how powerfully built Roberto Carlos was....

[zuppadigamberetti]

Not a world class player yet maybe but I think Patrick Schick fits perfectly in this category. He’s been amazing at every club he’s been at (Czech national team too) except As Roma.

Looking forward to your documentary about the rise of Bodø/Glimt :)

Inter Milan manager...ROY WHAT!?! Just the mental image of big Roy giving pep talks in broken Italian absolutely sends me

[osauria]

"I will be setting the bar for terrible very low"

"Dennis Bergkamp won the uefa cup in his first season at inter scoring 8 in 11 games"

Day 19 - The Fall and Rise of FK Velež Mostar

From a Club that has beaten Borussia Dortmund, Twente, Derby County and many others to a club that was forced from their own stadium, reduced to nothing during the Bosnian War, becoming a mediocre top-level team in the 00s to nearly being forced into folding in 2016 to its amazing rise back to the top-level football which culminated in return to Europe after 33 years and recent cup win

Riquelme was one of the best players I've ever seen in the flesh. Was outstanding at Ibrox against us in the champions league.

I don't think anyone who saw Roberto Carlos at Inter in the 1990s would say he was terrible. At times he looked quite brilliant. The only question I remember at the time was whether he was better than Javier Zanetti, whom Inter signed at the same time. There was was talk about how one of the club's signings that season was struggling - but it was Paul Ince, and never Roberto Carlos.

We all know the one truly consistent standard for "World Class" is a CA of 170 or more on FM.

in Cruyff's autobiography he says that free thought and stubbornness are traits very common in the dutch, which led to all sorts of friction in and outside of the netherlands with coaches and board members

Vidić? He is considered to be one of the worst CBs to have ever worn the Inter shirt.

[discos]

awesome video again lad! Would you manage to do a video similar to this but in the reverse - like Luka Modric being voted worst la Liga signing when he joined to winning the Ballon'dor
